From Autumn to Ashes
sp2:
Last time I checked, Interpol were still just as uninspired and insipid.
Kid Modernist:
heh, touché.
As far as screaming being a good way to convey an emotion, I'm with you. Screaming is a great way to show how much feeling you have behind words.
And so on, and so on, and scooby doobie doobie
sp2:
Not just amount. I mean, I wouldn't say that, say, At the Drive In have more feeling than, say, The Arcade Fire. But there's a sense of urgency and chaos and searing unbearable pain in Napoleon Solo that you're not going to find in anything by the Arcade Fire. That's all.
Different feelings come with different vocal styles. I hope that makes sense.
Johnny C:
sp2: Ease off on the Coldplay/Interpol/whatever-band-you-think-is-uninspired-today-bashing, hey? We don't necessarily like whatever band you're talking about, but that doesn't mean you have to cross the line and call anything shitty; nobody's opinion is going to change if you say "YOUR MUSIC SUCKS," they'll just be irritated with you. Keep it civil. Yes, it's possible. No, don't argue! Don't you click that "quote" button!
I'LL TURN THIS CAR AROUND, MISTER

--- Quote from: sp2 ---I dunno, but there is little to no emo in the classic ATDI albums (mainly social/political commentary when you can pull apart the lyrics), Blood Brothers (mainly social critique as well as critique of certain types of individuals), or BearvsShark (critique of satisfaction with the suburban lifestyle, among other things). Trail of Dead, if they're post-hardcore, are sometimes a little emo-ey, but there's also a lot of social commentary in many of their songs as well.
--- End quote ---
Actually, a lot of early emo and screamo bands commented on social issues. A lot. The idea that emo consists entirely of post-pubescent men whining about breakups wasn't even established until Dashboard Confessional came along and fucked everything up for people.
