I thought DEP were complete shit when I saw them live. I mean, fair enough, I don't like their music and had only gone to that show for Ephel Duath, but man. Gotta say though, a lot of that was just the crowd being complete shit. Lots of kids copying hardcore dance 'moves' they'd half-glimpsed in Atreyu videos. So much fucking windmilling. The band absolutely failed to grab me in any way, means or form however. Sure, they seemed to have a lot of energy, but little does that matter if your musics just a spastic load of shite.
Most annoying thing was my best mate held the opinion that his music taste was heavier and more hardcore than mine for ages after that because I didn't like DEP, and that this made him somehow better than me.
I made him give up on that shit when he started liking the goddamn Postal Service.
