There is one thing I didn't like about rock heavy bands, one thing is that they rely too much on 'frying up the whole song'. Everyone, Demetori (has a few good ones I admit, like the one in Vaguely Dreams of Scarlet Full Moon, Sakuya's theme) and Crow's Claw or Neutral or whatever... is that they seem to like to add guitars to whatever the hell it is. It doesn't matter if it is once a good midi track, they just turn on the amp, plug in the howler and off they go blasting it.
In fact, if I were on drugs, I'd listen to them and say, 'dude, what the hell are you guys doing? it sounded like you guys are performing to a crowd of noise band lovers. It is true, there is a limit where guitars quite simply become noise, it is not a matter of you slamming the drums as hard as you did or just picking the guitar until the strings break and slap into your face to open a bloody gash, it is about quality guitaring.
None of the bands I mentioned had much of that, truth to be said, have you ever heard a ballad number by Crow's Claw? Have you? Okay, maybe it exists somewhere I dunno, but when has it ever been like...you can listen to that noise for well over 15 minutes? I sure as hell can't stand it, but I dunno.
Now, in my case, I like some techno, in fact, time and again, a few of them demonstrated they can carry house pretty well, but then... lots of them lean towards the Ska, or the simply put in the beats synthesizer types, that is why I don't support entire albums of them.
Heck, even my favorite Alstroemeria Records do this, the point I am getting at?
Basically everyone in the fanbase, as with all fanbases even those in R&B and whatever else in the world, are as a matter of fact, when they cross the line, they become obsessed with a band.
Even if Miko right now were to take a shit you did as an IoSYS fan walk up and smell her dump and say how good it smelled like; the exact same thing as MJ fanatics would to say how good his broken nose look like, or that his skin was 'naturally white'.
Jesus. now that was one retarded statement right there at MJ, we all know he is black as much as we know that IoSYS can't carry a tune if they missed their ball joint.
Seriously, I can only name a few songs they are good at, and even then, 3% seemed too much.
I am not even expecting much from I, D, and Crow's claw.
it is just...

you know, use that guitar for something actually not too much of a grind to the ears the whole album is, pacing if you know what I mean.
