Wasn't saying I expected to be gored by their brutality (although to be honest, melodic or no, any band that has lyrics like "Slaughter of the soul/Suicidal final art/Children - born of sin/Tear your soul apart" better be rocking a bit of the brutality oe they're missing the point), but I was expecting a better energy.  It's ok for a metal frontman to smile - Akerfeldt smiles all the time and he might as well be the black metal savior come to Earth - but in this case it seemed like a lack of focus.

doombilly:
My band has been disappointing me live and in practice of late. I'm pretty sure we are going to have to kill the drummer and feed him to the chihuahuas.

gospel:
I glanced over this thread.

My curiosity caused me to google "freezepop".

I... never again.

It's stupid, fun, and great to dance to. Basically I feel like it captures the spirit of '80s pop in a way that few bands can pull off. So I was really looking forward to seeing them live, and they were pretty much the main reason I went to this festival (alongside Soulwax/2 Many DJs and Dizzee Rascal). But they sucked. The set was less than a half hour long, the crowd was terrible (I both had a chick behind me complain I was shoving her, and had someone bump a lit cigarette into me twice), their songs generally were pretty bland and they didn't play either of their best songs ("Epic Last Song" and "Dawn of the Dead" for reference!). Their excuse was that one of the members had broken an arm and so was replaced, but frankly if they were going to put on that shitty of a show without said member, I would have preferred them to cancel.

I saw them open for NIN in August having had absolutely no experience with them whatsoever and I was really surprised about how much effort they put into trying to win over new fans.  I could see how they could be really hit or miss depending on the energy, though.

I saw them on a tour in the UK as one of the opening acts for The Cribs and they were probably the best of the 4 acts on the night. Even with the neon-paint wearing glow-stick waving pre-pubescent scenesters crowding around me.
