Attack Attack are bad.

This is what I was thinking of, this morning is the first time I've made it as far as the breakdown. Of course there's a breakdown.

EDIT: Just listened to that Design The Skyline song. This is why I'm constantly uneasy when it comes to listening to new bands.

I'm not that keen on Attack Attack! I have one of their albums but it's only okay. The synths can be off-putting and the autotune is annoying when they overuse it. Another band guilty of this are I See Stars, they use autotune a lot when there's no need to. Their screamer is awesome though. A lot of people in this thread may dislike them but some of their songs are pretty good while others not so much.

Bands (post-hardcore/metalcore) that use synths that I enjoy are:

Memphis May Fire
The Word Alive
Woe, Is Me
Chiodos
A Skylit Drive
We Came As Romans (not a big fan of the cleans though)
Jamie's Elsewhere

Plus, before they broke up I was a huge fan of the band Of Machines. Such a shame they split up.

I concur with you NGN, Abandon All Ships are fucking garbage.

They really are. Although, I think the worst band I've heard (although not for a few years now) was Waking The Cadaver. They were just a whole new level of bad.

Heh, I actually quite like Parkway Drive. One of the few bands that I like from that type of music. Loved their first and third album, wasn't so keen on the second.

And I read someone mention Amon Amarth? Love them too. Got into them a few years ago when I heard the song 'Guardians of Asgaard', bought the album and have listened to them ever since. Only have their last three albums, but I want to get more. The beginning to 'Tattered Banners and Bloody Flags' is fucking brilliant. Also love Johan Hegg's vocals.

Enter Shikari should make that list, if you ask me.

I like a few Attack Attack songs. Not so much a fan, but some of their stuff works. Said I have heard MUCH worse.

Amon Amarth...not for me.

Brutality Will Prevail are playing an all dayer, and releasing an exclusive t-shirt for it. Has a 3D design, and comes with a pair of the glasses to look at it with. Sick idea.

Good band.

**Matt Reptar** · 11-24-2011, 05:41 PM

Pretty good cover imo.

Brittish pop-rock band called Attack Attack! are far superior to the American scene kid band. They're terrible.
