I think BYOP are great and one of the best live acts I've seen recently. The reason everyone has a stick up their arse about this band is because they can't stand to see a happy, mindlessly derivative yet rocking band enjoying some popularity.

I will admit that a few tracks on the new album suck a lot of balls, but that's no reason to class them as 'worse than Paramore'. The entire first album and at least one of their summer EPs were fantastic.

Maybe I ought to try "the early stuff", and give them a fair assessment.

As far as not wanting to see happy, mindless derivative kids gain success with through music... Well, if I was the sort of person who had that standpoint, my music collection would look a lot different. I didn't even know they were popular!

I really really like them...Seeing em live next saturday : )

But really, I think they are just a straight ahead punk band. Obnoxious sure, but what's a punk band isn't?

"Obnoxious" as a means to an end in punk can be charming and good and add to the music in some cases.

Not in this case.

I really like Be Your Own Pet. And I like their new album a lot more than their first. I saw them two years ago and they were awesome and Jemina threw up.
