A band that was pretty good, up until they sold out. I got The Curse and was like "wow, this is amazing". I hadnt listened to sucide notes for awhile, then i popped it in, and was like HOLY FUCK, WHAT HAPPENED. I forgot how good they used to be. Visions (their first ep) was their best. You can tell they sold out because their music, even their videos (see "right side of the bed") got shittier, yet they are more popular than ever! They dress all faggy/gothy now, a sick attempt to break into the mainstream (hit #32 on billboard top 200 when the curse came out). After going back and listening to all their stuff, the new album disgusts me, its not that its horrible,its okay,but it was just atreyu could have been so great, if they weren't such money hungry gothy whores. alex (the screamer) sounds like a fucking screeching consipated pig, and he used to be a good throaty growler, and the drummer sings way too much now. maybe theyll redeem themselves on the next album, but i doubt it. they may even end up a major label.
the video for "right side of the bed" consists of the screamer doing gay dancing/poses or 4 minutes and smiling into the camera. the lipgloss and black video kicks ass.
