I don't much like the music - too many changes, I wish they'd stick to fewer themes and build "regular song structures" out of them. But their image, videos and self-promotion are brilliant.
Their image is brilliant? Really?
Yes, it is brilliant. It works great for promoting the band and is very coherent.
Maybe for fans that are not actually in to metal. Anyone who actually listens to metal, hardcore, thrash, etc sees this band as a joke.
Pop fans on the other hand will like it and think it's "hardcore".
Guess which fans have more members, and therefore more money? From a business standpoint these guys are geniuses. Teens and young adults eat this stuff like candy. The band is making jabillions, so in a sense, yep, they're brilliant.
Cool. I still think it sucks. No one will remember their name in a year.
Look, "crab core" is now an internet meme, with loads of funny (or lame) pics, websites, spoofs, a Wiki page or two, and most people on the net have heard of it by now. And what band/video is always used as the illustration of "crab core"? Attack Attack. People, a band starting out can't buy that kind of publicity! They are making bank.
Sure they suck--but y'all are just jealous.
I dig em. I've been listening to them for a while. theyve got some great stuff. Someday came suddenly is a damn good album
So, people who hate fun hate this band. People who don't hate this band like it. That doesn't sound bad to me at all. If it sounds bad to you, you have a right to that opinion.Maybe for fans that are not actually in to metal. Anyone who actually listens to metal, hardcore, thrash, etc sees this band as a joke.

Heh, you did say "Anyone who actually listens to metal, hardcore, thrash"... there's definitely a big "No Fun Club" there. I'm Link Removed so I know. The fun-haters sure are fun to bait, and great for spreading the word about your band!When did I say I "hate fun"? My band is all about having fun. Doesnt mean I like crappy music!
