Curl of the Burl is very...atypical for a Mastodon song. I quite like it. _________________

ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
MAYBE I'll get Curl of the Burl, if the chart's good. The Hunter is my least favorite Mastodon album. _________________

I like Curl Of The Burl. It's a bit of a divergence from the rest of the album, though I suppose you could say that the entire album is a divergence from the rest of their catalogue. Either way, should be fun on drums. Never heard Everclear, and I've heard bad things about Good Charlotte but I'll give them a try.
A mediocre week if there ever was one. One good, one unknown, one meh. Hopefully we'll get something else off Leviathan soon... dat Iron Tusk. _________________

I don't like Nickelback because every song I've ever heard by them is either generic, boring, or both. I haven't heard anything from Good Charlotte so I don't have an opinion on them. _________________

Nah, I hate pop-punk for the same reason I dislike most Djent (what with most Djent bands not so much taking influence from Meshuggah, but directly lifting sections of Nothing and Catch 33); along came Green Day and Blink 182 in the early 90's with some interesting ideas for punk. While I personally don't like them I have to admit those had some damn good hooks and catches in them. But then you had 100's of bands that followed that did nothing but copy and paste their songs and called it their own, and somehow they got international success, that's just baffling to me as a musician.
As for Nickelback? I don't dislike them because they're popular I dislike them because they just write the same tired cliches over and over and over again. _________________

Curl of the Burl is incredibly fun of drums. It's probably the easiest Mastodon song we've had so far, but it's still got lots of tricky fills, and it keeps all your limbs moving constantly. |

They're like Blink 182 really. Except better. *THIS IS AN OPINION...I DON'T LIKE BLINK 182*
Seriously Good Charlotte is the reason I've gone on such a punk spree recently. I wouldn't call them bad. _________________

I do believe the term Pop Punk was invented to define Good Charlotte and similar bands. Doesn't mean they're awful though, I just really don't like The Anthem. On the other hand, Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous is good for Pop Punk. |

I know Good Charlotte are pop punk. What I meant is listening to them prompted me to go back into listening to a lot of punk & punk subgenre music.
Don't be such a bloody musical elitist. _________________
