atomic bomb made me hate them so much. it's all sorts of worthless posturing, calling the edge's style "signature" instead of "fucking stale" and continuing bono's whinging style of "singing" that tried to be so fucking epic except that his lyrics are incredibly awful.

170 million albums worldwide and 22 grammys.Its alot of people that put up with Bono's whinging!

That was somewhat amusing.

But this guy needs to go to some better parties where people don't put on System of a Down and Tool albums.

One of the funniest comments I've ever heard about music comes from The Onion AV Club about James Blunt's "Beautiful":

"It's music to lose your virginity in a freshman dorm room to. (See also Dave Matthews Band's "Crash" and John Mayer's "Your Body Is A Wonderland.")"

With Teeth was a truly awful direction to take. I love Nine Inch Nails so much because I've communicated with the music to such a degree - when The Fragile came out I'd never heard a band take such a mature and brave direction like that, it was utterly inspiring. At that point Trent Reznor had the ears of thousands of people, and a fair proportion of them are the kind that really need to be told that they're special and beautiful and that they can do it by themselves - with The Fragile Reznor had set himself up to deliver this message of compassion or inspiration to an audience who needed it and who listened.. instead he's come out with With Teeth [the lyrics are so forgettable I can't remember any to quote]...

The Fragile was fucking brilliant, though. Totally underrated by most. I had to pursuade my friends to keep listening to it, and they all now thank me for that.

Two things about With Teeth. One that really bugs me is it seems that the direction they've gone in is a large part due to the critical reaction to The Fragile, which is totally lame. I'm so annoyed that he caved to that pressure and went from something I really like to something that's fairly bleah.

The other things is that every freaking song on With Teeth has something I like about it, but for the most part those somethings are, like, ten seconds long. That's especially frustrating for me, cuz I can listen to it and find plenty of moments that I like, but they're just not enough to make me want to put on the album. That's practically more annoying than if I simply didn't like it at all, because, of course, I want to really like it after how much I loved The Fragile.
