Ross Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Probably cos a lot of pop rock/power pop/emo stuff sounds VERY samey and FTSK really don't have much of an individual flavor to them.Can they write some good songs? Sure Do they really stand out from the pack like Paramore, VersaEmerge, Greenday (as much as I hate that band, I can look past some of my subjectivity and at least see they've forged a unique, identifiable sound) or My Chemical Romance (again, not a band I'm a fan of but it's to make a point they have an undeniably recognizable sound) ? Not really. They really just sound like a band that seemed to have jumped on the power pop/emo bandwagon because it was the hip thing in the latter parts of the 00s. It doesn't mean their music is necessarily bad, but in a sea of 1 000 000 other similar bands that also hopped on the bandwagon doing that same/similar style, they really don't sound any different The genre by nature doesn't really allow for much experimentation before it becomes something different (which is how we get VersaEmerge, for example), so it's a given those bands will sound super samey except for a rare few. To be honest, FTSK aren't really (in my eyes) in the same niche as any of those bands you mentioned. And I agree, FTSK sound like a lot of bands and a lot of bands sound like FTSK, which was actually my point. They're getting 'hate' yet they sound not that different from the other two bands on the tour (WTK and YMAS are, arguably, less poppy though I'd still consider them to be similar). My point (which I was too lazy to properly develop previously) was "where's this cut off?". Why the 'hate' for one band which has a sound in the same vein as two bands you just confessed to liking? It would be, almost, like saying you love Take This To Your Grave but don't like Bleed American or Tell All Your Friends, or something else like that.

Ross Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 but I'd see them roughl the same size, therefore I see them as tent headliners Guess we'll just have to wait then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BABsxo. Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Bigger than Lostprophets? I wouldn't say so.. but then again people around me only listen to like Ke$ha hm, i dunno. im not an LP fan at all so i couldnt really say. i suppose yma6 are more current/bigger right now/do not think they are bigger than they are (like LP) but then again LP have been around for like ten years.

kwik-silva Posted March 18, 2010 Report Share Posted March 18, 2010 Ahh well, I guess we'll find out in a couple of weeks, as Ross said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaniali Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I don't really understand the hate about them, to me they're a pretty decentt band, sure it's not original but it's pop punk rock and this genre is not renowned for it's originality... That being said, Josh is a really good vocalist and a great lyricist, I like when lyricists write about all they feel even if it's negative emotions, it's more genuine...

Andrew Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 I totally missed the YMAS bigger than Lostprophets talk, but I did laugh reading it I mean Lostprophets headlined Download last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Yeah, but Reading's a different circle from Download Oh, and what's your msn cos I lost it Yeah, but Lostprophets aren't the kind of band you'd think could headline download but they did, and did it without a new album last year. Now they have a new album to promote, [guitar] magazine covers, more successful singles, tv interviews that YMAS haven't had, etc. And my msn is: da_monkee@hotmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
