So explain why ThreeDayTheoryOfANickelCreed has:
- The exact same guitar tones?
- The exact same synthesizer patches? (Minimoog
used to be cool).
- The exact same kick drum and snare asthetic?
- The exact same placement and compression ratio on the vocals?
- The exact same mastering choices?
- The inability to be written out in piano score, only in tablature?
- A strict conformity to form? Always intro to verse to chorus to verse to chorus to bridge to chorus?
- A complete lack of original chord progressions? Same I to the IV to the I with a build towards a V which then just crashes back into the I? Or if the song is whoring the drop-D tuning, I-VII-I-VII over and over...?
This isn't to diss all mainstream new music, as there is a tonne of quality stuff, but I will never ever admit any artistic merit in Shlock Rock and will argue until I am blue in the face. As much as I don't particularly like their music, the most original thing in mainstream radio in the last five years was arguably The Killers. It takes skill to sing and play their music and an inventive mind put those song forms together. And thats why they had three #1 hits from their debut album.
I could go on and on and on, so I digress.
TheeDayTheoryOfANickelCreed can suck it.
