Wow I really like this band, I was very suprised how much I enjoyed their album 'Dream to Make Believe', especially as it was an impulse buy. This is emo as it should be; heartfelt, but not whiney and angsty, and they have more of an indie vibe rather than the pop-punky kind of sound most emo bands have. It's a very melodic and soothing CD, and the songs are all genuinely uplifiting.

I'd recommend them even to people not into emo

Anyone else heard of/like them?

Your sorry threads.. yeah I like them

droolio yeah...

I heard their song Car Underwater, and its really cool...

yep, although not my favourite emo band theyre up there amongst, top 2-3 maybe

All Warm and Being your walls are my 2 favourite songs
not a huge fan of 'What to do when you're dead' - the album just doesnt click with me like the first 1

Steered way clear just because at first glance they quite obviously seemed like the typical emo band, and it appears I'd be forgiven for thinking so.

Have heard of them, not heard much tho. Not too sure I'll like, pretty sure.

What is it with emo bands and putting "For" in their name?

It's always Something For Someone, or A Thing For Something.

Why is "For" so God damn Emo?

Because it causes people like you to question it and become EMOtional about it. Get it!

Lmao! i get it! but seriously, i heard a few of their songs... well to be honest, only one so i guess i can't make a very adiquate judgement, but from what i have heard, i like them a lot.

True. It's also because they don't have any f**king imagination.

Not a fan of the band, heard their albums and can't find anything in their music which will get me to listen to them again.

i like them a lot. i ownloaded some of their songs and i am probably going to go buy "what to do when you are dead". in my group of buds, we all like mostly the same stuff but we all have our one band that only we like and Armor for Sleep is mine

I hate this band..But I hate all emo so

^ Why do you dislike entire genres of music? Seems pretty dumb, cuz you'll miss out on good bands

Well, First off I hate Emo kids with a passion, Girl Pants Wearing Pussies, I dont like People Who cry, And plus I hate Whinney vocals..I just hate Anything that has to do with emo, Sounds narrow Minded but meh...

and indeed you are narrow minded. but at least they aren't a bunch of guys dressed up in halloween costumes running around screaming their heads off about death and Satan all the time.

But at least those Guys make good music so it evens out...

Except they DON'T!!! they just scream......
the defense rests

I saw these support Fightstar! They sucked hard!

At least they sing instead of yelling into a microphone

Yes, whiny singing. That's so good

Indeed, Whiney singing About your 6th grade Girlfriend is Never good

im pretty much on the same page with slip about the emo thing.

Jimmy Eat World don't whine about their girlfriends, nor are they 6th graders.

Surprising how uneducated some people are.

Personally, Ill listen to any genre of rock, even emo. If a song is catchy, Im not gonna say I hate it just because it is emotional.

I think the reason emo gets so much negative attention is because poeple are afraid that listening to emo will make them look like a wuss.
Not to say there arent emo bands out there worthy of being hated.

But there are also bands worthy of being hated in any genre.

I could sit here dissing metal because of all these shit metal/metal"core" bands. I don't because there's no point.

-AC

i agree. there is no reason for a person to hate an entire genre of music. there is some good stuff in almost every genre..... almost

I agree with some of the people above. Armor For Sleep is a really good band for all the reasons Deathblow mentioned. My Town and the Truth About Heaven are my 2 favorite songs by them.

Slipknot are shit

And I hate bands who look like cheap rejects from the Rocky Horror Show, who play watered-down death metal to appeal to greasy loser wannabe-goths who think the world is completely against them.

Btw ''I don't like people who cry''...seriously, you have issues.

every post you make causes you to look more of an idiot.

could top it off by putting on a boiler suit and haloween mask

Let's not get into some big "Slipknot are shit" debacle. Their masks and their fans aside, they aren't a shit band by any means.

-AC

i don't like the music they make so i can say they're shit - in the same way Slip can say emo is shit

Yeah but by noting the way they dress and noting their fans, it just gets a bit hypocritical and *** for tat.

-AC

im not actually going to bring this into a massive ongoing thing.. i just wanted to point out to him how what he's saying could be construed as hypocritical, and how unjustified opinions (or atleast opinions based on poor reasons) are just annoying

I think Slipknot has never bothered to listened to good emo, and instead of doing so, is choosing to blindly insult the whole genre.

Whatever gave you that impression?

-AC

are you being sarcastic or serious?

Sarcastic, with no offence.

-AC

okay, good.

Bumping this thread because I still really like this band and I've heard a lot more of their stuff.

Yeah I bought What To Do When You Are Dead the other day and I think its a pretty good album. I also like Dream to Make Believe. Good band.

BUMP

Looking forward to seeing them on Warped this year.

yeah, i missed them last year and i was really pissed. it will be a good show this year though.

At this point Ive bought both of their albums and I have to say they are both solid. The 2nd one is a bit better, Id say.
