SOAD
TheCourtJester:
How many SOAD fans would even know what the "Axis of Justice" is, much less the genocide?
In case anyone wondered...my freshman year I'd met a descendant of some refugees from the Armenian genocide...and had a report and interview on it. This kid did not know who his grandparents were, and did not have a way to find out. Incidents like that were not uncommon. A "Recommended Listening" link on one of those sites was one of many things that got me listening to their first album.
As for the commentary and music...anyone with an ounce of sarcasm can make a commentary biting into the talent and credibility of ANY band. It also gets easier as the band gets more popular, because now you can look even MORE witty by making fun of the fans. I found the last album enjoyable...but found myself getting over it reaaaaaally fast. Their music and political message are still...educated, but somewhat uninspired. It's like they've lost a lot of momentum...if they found a new take on it, they'd be more respectable, albeit less "palatable" to public taste.
I enjoy it...but then again, I don't take myself OR music too seriously. Certainly not so much that I can't enjoy it...even if there are trendwhores who like it, too.
The exception to that is Jazz. NOBODY but nobody is allowed to fuck with Jazz.
Kai:
Basically, because hep cats will eat you alive. Don't fuck with Jazz guys, it's not worth it.
Note: I love Jazz. don't attack me Jazz kiddies.

Hella > The Mars Volta > SOAD.
Thus making it an ANTI-LINEUP.
As for SOAD themselves, dull.
