Nimrod is one of the most mixed albums ever. You got hardcore punk rock songs like Take Back, Platypus. And you got beautiful acoustic songs like Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Jared Henry I'm with you on this! Everybody already knows about this shit! You are a true fan if your favorite song ISN'T Boulevard of broken dreams or Jesus of suburbia
Love how so many people think this is hardcore (yes, it is), but Yellowcard's "Sorry Try Again" with their old lead singer definitely sounds much more crazy, and it doesn't even have growling in it.
@i9incher nothing really. but your right. i looked at it and you are right about platypus being more lighter which really i should have noticed because im in a punk pop and street punk band.
Ever since Killswitch Engage released Alive or Just Breathing, and combined both metal and hardcore into a genre called Metalcore, everyone has since confused Hardcore with Metal. It's very easy to tell the difference to me. To someone who's maybe not heard a lot of metal or hardcore, I can understand the confusion.
Robert E ikr when I think metal I think Black Sabbath (probably my favorite band from the 70s) Motorhead Metallica and hardcore I think Black Flag Bad Brains NYHC and others
@TruAmericanIdiot1 i believe some of his top bands are the Ramones, The Who, Operation Ivy, Cheap Trick...... none of which are screamo lol. Besides its only one song, i think it sounds great :)
@XipurplefuryiX good for you, pennywise and black flag are great bands. I wasn't trying to sound rude or anything, just letting you know; that's all. good day.
@TruAmericanIdiot1 That's not what it is to those who coined the term, So what you choose to define it as is irrelevant. That attitude in particular is exactly why a great deal of people don't actually know what Screamo, Emo, Hardcore, and Post-Hardcore actually are musically.
No idiots. He's talking about post-hardcore/metalcore not "post-punk" or "hardcore punk" He means bands like Parkway Drive, Attack Attack, A Day to Remember, Of Mice & Men, The Devil Wears Prada, Escape the Fate, shit like that.This style of music using clean vocals transitioning into heavy, screamed vocals, or the other way around was not popularized until the mid 2000's and here the same musical structure is demonstrated in the 90's.
@SKiLES1997 This has nothing to do with Screamo... The chorus vocals are more reminiscent of Death or some other form of "Extreme" metal, and the instrumentation is straight up Hardcore Punk. Albeit, Screamo (And I mean actual Screamo, not the "Mallcore" crap kids nowadays don't know what to call) did offshoot from Hardcore, it's still a long ways off...
@ajmihaly well actually REAL screamo is pretty good though... but now people know only crap such as Bring me the horizon or other such things... anyway this is definitely not screamo, it's hardcore punk :D
@XipurplefuryiX then don't listen to it, we all have our tastes, and yeah, I've been a fan of both rancid and green day since the fourth grade. They're both great bands, and if you don't particularly like green day, then well doesn't common sense tell you not to listen to it? everyone likes different things, that's the thing about people; if we were all the same, what a boring world it would be, eh? lay off, you have no room to disparage a band just because you don't like it. other people do.
UK Subs, The Ramones, The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Misfits, The Exploited, Minor Threat, Black Flag, The Casualties, Vice Squad, GBH, Subhumans, Circle Jerks, OFF, SOA, Pinhead Gunpowder, shall I continue?
