No one here really knew much of soad...but i guess they are slowly getting attacked by teens.

 

so basically...you are just saying they are overrated because people say they like them? and someone preformed a song and turned it emo?

sarah theres nothing wrong with more people liking SOAD it doesnt make them overrated, it makes them mainstream, and you cant just stop like a band cuz there now "cool" if you were a real fan you'd like them no matter what. or the fact that some kid sung it and made it sound "emo", cuz theres nothing wrong with emo, and what did you want the kid to sounds excastly like SOAD? cuz lol that couldnt really ever happen.

On the surface - No, they rock.

 

Below the surface - Yes, they are.

 

I find them to be overhyped because, once you get past thier sound, there is nothing else left...the music has no substance, no tangible soul that I can find. The first album had its high points, but after that they have been slowly chugging downhill. The songs all follow similar patterns (I swear, I could name songs with identical drum and guitar work but I forget thier names) and the lyrics seem poorly written and a bit hacky.

 

They are amazing musicians, and Serj is a great singer...but that doesn't mean they have depth, that thier music has soul. It just means thier a layer of sweet frosting with no cake underneath.

 

iw as goign to write something like that but im lazy so ill jsut say i agree lol.

no' date=' ok the two albums weren't that great, but they still rock[/quote']

 

Another thing that proves thier egotistical delusions...they think they are so talented that all thier songs are great, so they released two CDs that were recieved as just okay.

And then I felt chills in my bones / The breath I saw was not my own

I knew my skin that wrapped my frame / Wasn't made to play this game

I don't think they're overrated, but the hype they've been receiving lately is because SOAD are a political band and anti-war. Seeing as it is now cool to be political, they've just been getting more attention than usual.

 

The fact that they've become more popular with mainstream audiences has coincided with the band's change in musical direction means that you hear more about them. Before, they used to be something of an acquired taste. Their lyrics weren't very clear and sometimes sounded offensive and loud. But now, they're songs are more catchy and they have noticably mellowed out.

 

It is not, however, SOAD's fault. If you've followed them and listened to all their albums, then you'd know that they were changing anyway. The songs on Steal This Album were the "rejects" of Toxicity; the material that they felt didn't fit on the latter album. The songs were a bit more melodic and quieter. They also haven't rushed into being mainstream and completly changed their music ( a la Metallica).

 

 

 

Sorry for the essay guys, it's just I needed to speak my mind..

or you could pull your head out of your ass and realize that they didn't release two CDs cuz they're egotistical. They realeased two CDs cuz they had a lot of material. They wanted to release all of it, so they did. Just like Toxicity and STA, only these two were actually supposed to go together. none of the songs are rejects from the first cd.

I am not sure if they're overrated . In my country/Bulgaria/ they were very famous but where i am now ...i don't think so. Perhaps they're overrated or the people just like their songs. Who knows. I think they're a good band with some great songs. This is my opinion.

Bounce wasn't meant to be about war, it is about a pogo stick- slipping through many hands because he wanted to show her a trick,but some of their songs are.

 

What he means is songs like solider side,fuck the system etc would be their anti-war statements.

 

LMAO clogz, i think you need to take a chill pill.

lol, well technically it is about a pogo stick. think about it, there's only one guy in the group. he has the pogo stick. all you can do is bounce up and down on a pogo stick. all his dates friends (girls mind you) want a turn on it.

Their FUSE interview was great though..."Superman said we should make a Double album,but we couldnt because Batman didnt want a double album,but Robin did,but hes just a sidekick...etc. I dont think they actually answered a question lol

I don't think they're overrated at all....They aren't huge here, but bigger than before since the new albums. I haven't listened to both of them fully, but I like most of their stuff....And so what if they're getting mainstream. It just means people like them. It pisses me off when people won't like a band anymore just because other people do.

I didn't say I didn't like them because they were becoming mainstream, I merely said that that's one of the reasons they could be becoming overrated.

GotLinkinPark?']I wasn't directing that at you. Just in general.

 

I know, I was just clearing my side up.
