It’s gotta be Mooney, for me…..his ‘antics’ are the real deal - not an act! A voice you can really empathise with…

Comment on Neurosis: Given To The Rising by dystisis

I completely agree with euka. It is sad to see the ignorance of large parts of the western youth today, not surprising, but sad. Tool and Neurosis, although of course there are differences, what they are drawing their inspiration from and therefore what they produce, is similar.

It just goes to show what the general music culture is like today, very shallow and completely conservative.

Thanks - I totally agree. I thought I had a straight up noise band on my hands the first couple times I heard them, but when the awesome melodies and sheer psychedelia of it starting peeking through, I realized they were much more. Really original stuff.

Actually, New Epoch, the first wave would have had nothing to do with cutting, suicide, etc. Regardless of the lyrical content which may have been on the down side, the bands and fans of the original were part of an overall very positive scene: DC hardcore’s “revolution summer” period. I just can’t see killing myself to Embrace, Rites of Spring, or any of those first-gen bands.

For a long time I have tried to find the true definition of emo. I have talked to so-called emos as well as people who have little clue to what an emo is. I’m not an emo myself, but I lovve the sound of their music. I have come to the conclusion that there are really two generations of emo. The first gen were the true “emotional” emos- people who harmed themselves, thought about death, etc etc etc. The second gen is what we mostly see today. These new wave emos have no interest in suicide or any of that crap. Most of the emos I know are thoughtful, intelligent, and above all, kind people. They just try to seperate themselves from the mainstream, which means rebeling against tradition, thus the wierd styles of dress and music. I guess you could call them latter-day hippies. So the term “emo” has pretty much shifted its position, just like political parties. In truth, there are no “emos” left, but the term still applies.

Nice review thx.
It takes time to get hold of a band like The Gosling, but at the end the reward is satisfying.
