Sorry.

Total bollocks Simon!ooooo .....they are so heavy with that keytar......Bag of antipodean kangaroo nuts!

[fat cherry]

you been going out drinking after work again scouse?

[Dr Cheese]

I'm quite partial to a bit of Pendulum myself.

[the ghost of guitarplayer]

The vocalist is using effects on his voice like Cher's Believe or Victoria Beckham's Out of Your Mind.

Sewiously! Next you'll be confessing your adoration for Matt Bellamy of Muse. Wait, why DON'T we have a Muse thread?

[Dave Smith]

Not many people like country bumpkins.

Must be a Liverpool thing-'the 'home ' of music.

Mind you Im quite partial to swinging pendulums.

[Dr Cheese]

Apparently England swings like a pendulum do.

Is that comedy band you've been on about?

The thing with Pendulum is that I know they are absolutely shit. A limp wristed mix of the Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Muse, Orbital, Megadeath and 2 Unlimited. It's overproduced, has lame lyrics, the singer can't sing and it's pretensious.

But for some reason, I don't know why, I really like the new album. It's just a mindless, visceral, aural assault. Which, in these troubled Con Dem times, is just what the Doctor ordered (not you Cheese, THE Doctor).

I cant explain it.

[Dr Cheese]

just what the Doctor ordered (not you Cheese, THE Doctor).

I'm crushed.

[Dr Evil]

At least the singer in Muse has a good voice. Totally wasted on his thrash metal sub-Queen band of course. He should join the Bunnymen or Queen.
As for Pendulum, who needs simplistic, unmelodious, aggressive angst when you can have the much more aggressive but deep, dark and melodic angst of Electrafixion? If they ever write a song like Timebomb or Lowdown I might take take them seriously.
Of course, you could always try System of a Down.

[Dave Smith]

That weirdy guitarist in System of a Down just isnt right.

In comparison Ive always felt the same about Embrace.Completely unoriginal,singer cant sing,nothing to say in the lyrics etc etc.. but for some reason Ive always loved 'em.
