earshot

Post by starvingeyes »

this is the most hillarious review of any album i have ever read in my entire life.

"Holy fuck, someone tell these clowns that even watered-down nu metal died, like years ago. O wait, it's a gag and us wasting our time listening to this drivel is the punchline! Ha ha, more time in your life lost where you could have spent it doing important stuf like having sex or doing homework. Shit, plucking nose hairs would be less painful. I's all detuned guitars playing out Tool leftovers (there's a lot of those lately!) redone in the Cobain-esque quiet verse/loud chorus school of songwriting. Still, give run-of-the-mill it's credit, there's definately passion in what Earshot do ("Misery" is quite convincing... and relevant), but that grunty, I've-given-so-much-all-I-can-do-is-whisper vocal delivery is weak bullshit that went out with the Furby" - Chart.

after reading this, i had to listen to at least one of their songs. i chose misery.

holy fuck. they suck.

Sweet jesus.

I found the Andrew W.K. review quite amusing.

This is the stupidest record ever. And I don't mean in an ironically entertaining way like Rob Halford, or in a so-bad-it's-good way like Moldy Peaches, or in an ain't-he-the-slow-guy funny way like Wesley Willis. No, this is just stupid. Now, I've fallen for my fair share of pseudo novelty rock bands — Gwar, Dayglo Abortions, White Cowbell Oklahoma — so I can usually dig it. But for the life of me, the only people I can see appreciating I Get Wet are that special breed of sub-Tenacious D-lovin' skater twits who give girls cheap gropes when they walk past them at shows, spit on homeless people who ask them for change and piss on their friends who pass out at parties. Frankly, if you buy this record you deserve brain cancer.

You call what he does music? It's senseless drivel if you ask me, which you didn't. But still, Andrew WK's cd is the beer commercial anthem cd of the year. I can't take anyone seriously who is greasier than an Italian ( :lol: )
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

McDonald's is the place to rock
it is a restaurant where they buy food to eat
it is a good place to listen to the music
people flock here to get down to the rock music

Rock 'n Roll McDonald's (4x)

McDonald's will make you fat
they serve big macs
they serve quarter pounders
they will put pounds on you

Rock 'n Roll McDonald's (4x)

McDonald's hamburgers are the worst
they are worse than Burger King
a big mac has 26 grams of fat
a quarter pounder has 28 grams of fat

Rock 'n Roll McDonald's (4x)

Rock over London, rock on Chicago!
Wheaties, breakfast of champions!

Oh, but wait...it gets better.

I dedicate this song to Raine Maida :lol:
:wink:
Do something about your long filthy hair
It looks like a rats nest
Do something about your mullet
Get out the hair clippers, jerk.

Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet
Cut the mullet

Get the rats nest off your head
Get that crazy ass mullet off your skull
Take yo' ass to the barber shop
Tell the barber that you're sick of looking like an asshole.

Cut the mullet (8x)

Rock over London
Rock on Chicago
Insure One, It's The Insurance Superstore.
HARDCORE!!!

I laughed harder when I heard that song then I ever have in my life. No joke. 8O Oh, and Alanis Morisette is his other good song. lol. I think I'll buy his CD. He actually has one for anyone who doesn't believe me.
Some of you probably think I left. But was I ever here to start?
