Music reviews of Liberation Transmission
Music Review: ...and when you think they haven't scraped the barrell of commercialism enough...
Rating: 1 Stars
...bands that get commercial success get lazy...they realise that talent isn't as important as what is accessible because they work out that that is what the public (the subliminal sheep crustaceans of the rock pool of society) buy...because they are only exposed to sounds that are three minute comfortable verses...
...I was foolish enough to think that the boys from the lost prophets showed a mild amount of promise after hearing their debut (the fake sound of progress) and even though their style had been done a million times before..I thought the competition would be enough to encourage them to hone their sound and develop something more then just "hi...we're welsh and we're nu-metal listen to our riffs with clean vocals from me IAN WATKINS I AM YOUR LEADER MY CHILDREN!!!"
...they had the support of young children...(and I mean young)...that didn't believe in complexity and technical musicianship and only wanted anthemic hooks and angst drenched riffs (fair enough...I'm still one of those young people...just not as young as before but still a teen)...and a fan base of those that loved Ian Watkins was also in the making...but it was smaller and politer (and they didn't care about shoe size so they were sane enough) and enough to make you just think "let them have some idols and be disapointed later in life because after all we are sadistic idiots"...but then the next album came along (to which I have forgotten the name...I could look it up but...I don't have that much time...) and upon listen I realised they had done the equivalent that some people would think is "selling out"...although some of the heaviness still resides it has been watered down significantly and with radio friendly hits like "Summer" and "Last Train Home" alot of the hardcore fans were alienated, yet some remained hopeful maybe they will return to their Nu-Metal roots later...as a huge array of mainstream popular feel good rock people decided to get into their music...and the Ian Watkins fan club forever rising with more innuendos and losing much more dignity...
...and now to this album...Liberation Transmission doesn't exactly pretend...it knows very well it is commercial and seems to embrace that fact..."Standing on the rooftops" and "Town called Hypocrisy" although at first listen to sound slightly different...peel off one layer of artificial emotion and you have the exact smae structure between each songs...simple and dull guitar riffs...and nothing that they used to stand for...yes their are some non single tracks on here that still show little remenisences of their previous incarnation...but nothing obvious...
...and of course now...they have acquired the label of the new and deproved version of emo (MCR, FFAF, Senses Failed...not rites of spring in any shape or form) and because of this you have annoying "I'm trying to sing a ballad but I can't because I cried too hard" songs like "4am Forever"...and thanks to this new label of emo guess how large this Ian Watkins fan club is now? People that care about his shoe size...how often he dyes his hair and pointless mundane things like that...
...maybe I'm not the right person to review this because I like:
1. Music with power and agression.
2. Painstakingly Inaccessible music.
3. Technical and intelligent musicianship.
4. Melodicly and beautiful emotional music.
...but I can assure you this music has none of these features and shows no signs of it...if you want emo music (the new kind) I would recommend Brand New...but if it's the fact that they're welsh that sells you (um...ok) I would reccomend Funeral for a Friend...at least they had some dignity with their mellowing out...
...they have gone from the Nu-Metal trend...to the Nu-Emo trend...and failed...do not buy this...unless of course you are an exclusive member of the Ian Watkins fan club...if so...I salute you in terror...
