Finally i got around to listening to some of their stuff, and i found that it wasnt all that bad for a mainsteam Nu-metal band, in other words, i could stand it. But how many times can a band put of an album and have it sound the same, and not get tired of it? And their new stuff, I liked all those songs back when they were called " freak on a leash","blind", adidas".. etc.
I saw some mtv stuff on them, with the guitarists playing covers of solos and all that.Thing is anyone can learn another persons solo, but can they compose one? I wouldnt know if they can or cant. I saw the cover of "one" they did on mtv2..i was embrassed for them.
Jon's voice goes well with the music though, sometimes i have no idea what he's saying, or if hes saying anything at all, ie: towards the end of " thoughtless". I think its random clicks and grunts.
I don't like the drummers style much, but thats probably only because i dont like this music style anyways. But they are all in all your basic nu-metal band, and as someone else said , i would take them over Limp bizkit any day.
