I'm not always that bitter.
However, the new Underoath is awful.
I can't say that I was expecting greatness, or even for it to be good, but as musicians, they should be ashamed of themselves. Making squealy distorted feedback sounds with your guitar for half a song is not music.
It's noise.
I still think They're Only Chasing Safety is great; i don't care what anyone says. However, I also like Kelly Clarkson, so my taste in music is questionable and everything I say should be taken with a grain of salt.

Hey. No, seriously.
I never professed to be an excessively tolerant person.
Actually, I never professed to be anything at all.
However, there are some things that people consistently do that irk me. Like, want to grab the person and shake them until they understand what a moron they are or get shaken baby syndrome and die.
I know, not nice.
Stop reading right now if you are in any way offended by not nice things.
Don't say I never gave you fair warning.
1. I hate people, NAY, adolescents through young adults mostly, who own a dSLR camera and think that using that in combination with a fisheye lens on every picture they take makes them an amazing photographer. Sorry, little Johnny, that just makes you look like the talentless hack that you are. Other lenses do indeed exist and are infinitely more universal and better fit for most situations that a fisheye. If you were really a "photographer", youd know when and when not to use it.
2. This brings me to my next kids that apply 14 filters in photoshop to a picture of themselves, then post it on their myspace in an album entitled "My Photoshop" or "My Graphic Design". No. Just, no.
3. Bands that have a new cd coming out and say things like "This is our best album yet! We're really proud of it cuz we're progressing and blah blah blah blah". Well no shit, sherlock. Of course youre telling your fans its your 'best ever'. What are you going to say? 'Hey guys, we ran out of original ideas long ago and now we sold out and made this piece of crap album rehashing all our old songs and/or ideas! but please, buy it anyways so we can eat!'
I think not.
