Northlane are just discount Architects (who themselves were just a decent version of Johnny Truant). Parkway Drive arent even djent, theyre just another generic mid-paced late 2000s Metalcore band with excessive breakdowns.

Finally finished listening to all 100 songs of 2019 and now all I have to do is compile them for my ten best and ten worst
 
@Broken Adam  
Duh

@.44caliberloveletter  
being compared to the Architects isn’t a bad thing

@Broken Adam  
Considering how their first three (maybe 5) are the only good albums they made and those are decent at best, I wouldnt say its the best thing either.

@.44caliberloveletter  
They are pretty much the most acclaimed Core band atm so…

@Broken Adam  
I thought you hated critics.
 
And they are not that heavily acclaimed. Theyve got tons of mixed opinions. They literally started out as a pretty decent Johnny Truant/Botch-esque band before ditching that to sound more like bands that took inspiration from them and became just as bad. I know tons of people who shit on them as a whole or only like the early albums.

@.44caliberloveletter  
I am not talking about critics since they don’t care about anything heavy unless if it has an indie aesthetic like Deafheaven
 
I am talking about the Core fanbase

So the Grammys are being exposed as Racist Sexual abusers  
Is anyone surprised?

Hadn’t listened to More Songs About Buildings and Food in awhile.

It’s only a piece of metal to be awarded; how can it be that?

@Mildgyth  
I meant the Academy

Band getting started: I’m gonna have my first hit be a cover  
Me, analyzing music history:  

@Myoozik  
The only one I can think of who subverted that was Van Halen, who had several other hits after their cover of “You Really Got Me.”

@TheHappySpaceman  
I just looked it up and oh shit you’re right, their first Top 40 hit was a cover of The Kinks’ “You Really Got Me”. They got extremely lucky.

@Myoozik  
Manson avoided that , he covered Sweet dreams and still made it big

There’s also 21 Pilots cover of I can’t help fall in love

@Broken Adam  
That wasn’t a hit though

Speaking of The Kinks, I prefer the Cherry Cola version of “Lola” because cherry soda is the nectar of the gods, the greatest soda flavor ever created by mankind and Ray Davies was a smart man changing the lyrics to that.

Hit the road jack
