Why does this hurt my ears?

It hurts my ears as well. It's like sticking a vacuum cleaner hose over your ears. Also that cookie monster crap is really getting old. A person would have to be completely braindead to tolerate that garbage.

Haha yeah, I find it difficult to listen to as well! It's not like "I don't like this so change to something else," it's like, "this hurts my ears and drives me crazy."

You'd be surprised at all the cookie cutter screamo bands nowadays...I live in a relatively small city (about 120,000) and there are hundreds of screamo bands. And they all sound the freakin' same--double bass pedal, same old riffs that are easy, some failure who can't sing so they make him the screamer...

If you ask me, it's really just about dealing with their hormones and pent-up emotions. :laughings: Seriously.

I want to see something original! :(
 
It's funny, but if you close your eyes and just listen, the screamer sounds like someone vomitting.
Energetic piece though. I prefer the Mamas and the Papas......:laughings:
 
For some reason the vibe of the vocals reminds me of fake wrestling. It's comedy.
 
Wow the producers, engineers and record company guys must have really worked hard to achieve getting that band to sound like the others. Really, what separates them, the film clip?

.. or maybe I'm just not in the scene, man.

It's hard to listen to because of the huge amount of stereo enhancement being used.

Nothing seems to be in the middle except the kick and snare.

There is almost no lower midrange to balance the 2-5k in the mix

There is a ton of pumpy compression.

Yup, someone screwed this up in an attempt to make it really cool.
 
The only screamo band that I liked was "Death" If you haven't heard of them they were I believe one of the first Death metal bands from 1985-1999. I had respect for them because even though Chuck Schuldiner screamed all of his vocals, you could actually understand what he was saying, the lyrics had meaning and a message to them, and the band were extremely talented, almost Rush like talent;).....

It hurts because you pushed the button with the triangle icon. Don't do that.

as if the number of views of the piano playing kitten is now some measure of music performance status. If one has a staff with clever programers where a 'click' translates to $ then number of views can mean something. After a lot of years of drive time experience any average wreck will generate more 'views' then a naked lady walking down the street, neither of which are adequate references for aesthetic 'value'

I actually did not listen, something 'youngsters' seldom understand is that one can not listen critically to millions of clips . . . if you work in the industry you do self censor (it is inevitable) and it is the thing that surprises you that transcends the censor that you notice. This can occur with all sorts of material for all sorts of reasons. While I would not rule out pure volume and screaming as something contributing to ability to cross the filter I have learned that volume and screaming alone tend to be insufficient to attract my attention. And I use 'Art of Noise' as a reference for some more or less serious composition. I might not gag if 'California Dreaming' comes up in a play list (if I actually own a copy) anymore but never have 'liked' the Mamas&Papas and do tend to cringe automatically if the Beach Boy's show up. I enjoyed a lot of early house & hip hop as I thought it might re invigorate a sense of word play, re-introduce some social consciousness to the suburban waste land (as it turns out, by & large, I was wrong . . . PT Barnum was right)

but it is fairly accurate to assume that I just don't 'get': hair metal, speed metal, death metal, 'heroin hair speed nordic nazi death metal @ 170 bpm & spl rms >127.5 dB' (which I'm sure is a genre somewhere that could get a lot of 'clicks' for an appropriately posed 'free' vid)

the measure of hierarchical status in the entertainment universe is still $ . . . if you generate for someone, what you do will be called art by some percentage of viewing public (and produces the Eddy Current of detractors). If you generate $ it is possible to learn how to control your process (and there are probably still just as many really, really bad Bchboy clones as there are death metal genres

I was actually kidding. Hang on, no I wasn't ! Well, I was kidding but I do prefer the Mamas to that song. I think even the band do !
