I bought Static Prevails today, and I dug it a lot. I'd recommend it. I also bought Bleed American but haven't had a chance to listen yet. I remember I used to love listening to The Middle on the radio when I was about 9 or 10.

Bleed American is wonderful. "A Praise Chorus" is my favorite song on it.

I wasn't as impressed with it as I was with Static Prevails, though I agree that A Praise Chorus is the best on there.

Bought this yesterday and I'm really liking it. The last 5 tracks are so excellent. I think I still prefer Static Prevails, It's kinda the emo I prefer (i.e. more punkish).

I don't really like the old singer's voice. The only song that it doesn't bore down too much is Episode IV, which is fantastic.

A Praise Chorus was my favorite, too, but that was when I was learning the drums, and I played along to it way too many times. Same with Chop Suey by SoaD. Can't stand either anymore.

You can't stand Praise Chorus? That's one of the few songs on Bleed American that I can stand.

Really? I thought that was a great album, overall, and I can't really pick out any that are better or worse than others. I liked every song on it. But about half of them bring on a Smells Like Teen Spirit-esque nausea due to overplay. It was a combination of listening on my own, and just hearing it everywhere I went my first couple years in high school.

Maybe it's a little like Clockwork Orange. "I wanna fall in love tonight" evokes all the emotions of high school dating.

ZEROpumpkins 01.11.2009 09:58 PM

Haha, yeah I understand that. Especially the Teen Spirit bit. I just can't listen to it anymore.
