In reply to Ruby’s post
I totally agree. When did musicians decide to start sounding like crap? The other day I realized one thing that has a huge affect on the sound. The drums. I’ve noticed that drummers take too much freedom now. If you listen to boys like girls (new album), John is going insane and not necessarily in a good way. Drummers don’t stick to the music like they used to. But if you go listen to Fall Out Boy or Muse the drums follow the guitar and bass and act like a blender between the two. Like there can be a little bit of freedom but going out of control just makes it sound like shit. And yes if you are a singer you should be able to sing. And blg’s new album love drunk, I can’t decide if I love it or hate it. They try and go for the real rock n’roll sound with the screeching guitars(which I like) but then they have a whole pop sound to them. You can’t mix the two they are total opposites and sound pretty bad together. That is a band that I think has sold out. I love them and will continue to but really. Listen to me you and my medication or even the great escape and then go listen to love drunk or chemicals collide and to you will see what I mean. Martin doesn’t even sound like himself on the new album. Sorry I didn’t mean to turn this into a blg bash post but I think they really represent today’s mainstream music and how it is devolving.
