Meh, I didn't like the (nu-)metal part too much and the drum'n'bass wasn't too interesting either. It's a nice concept though.

yeah fair doos. although i've heard like previews of the new album and it sounds so much better. and to be honest there are better songs on their ep than what is on their myspace

Ok, that could be, although I think it's more the style in which they play it than how good the songs are. Don't get me wrong, I like the more experimental drum'n'bass, actually a lot more than most metal, but they kinda took the shit from both to make something that is better than shit, but not really satisfying for me.

I would have to invent words to describe how unimpressed I am. Maybe I just don't get it? No, no, I think it just sucks.

yeah whatever, they don't suck, you just need a certain taste.
anyway, new material up on the myspace page.

To each his own, but basically all they've done is take slipknot, add more rapping (eww...), and throw it in a blender with DNB and IDM. The result? Not something I want to listen to. But that's okay, like whatever you want, I don't care.

IDM?!?! What Slipknot do is certainly not related to IDM (the I stands for intelligence, and that's not something Slipsnot can be identified with), and throwing in the Amen Break a few times and some gay effects is all they got for DNB.

I apologize profusely for in any way relating slipknot to IDM. That was certainly not my intention, and I feel sick for the connection being made.

My point is, that they seem to be trying to do a glitchy DNB version of slipknot, and they failed. Even if they succeeded, we would still have a DNB version of slipknot, and we sure as hell don't need that.

I vote that we abolish this crap. All in favor?

No.

Are you into IDM? What do you know about Glitch?

I don't really no much about either, just some stuff I've heard from friends. That's just what it sounds like to me. I may be completely off base in that regard. All I know is I don't like it. That's enough for me!
