Keldon Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 Its an ok cd, Comalies is still their best. Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted April 2, 2006 Share Posted April 2, 2006 the name of the album alone makes me want not to hear it also, i'm still a bit jaded to LC after that whole episode with Century Media hyping the hell out of Comalies a whole year after its initial release instead of saying anything about the new Orphaned Land or Finntroll albums Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 That's because of the whole "OMG GIES LUK DIS BAND HAS A GRL" effect in popular metal. its a gimmick, pretty much Nu-Metal fare as far as ive heard. Link to comment
Crube Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 It is funny how they became popular right around Evanesence came out. Link to comment

They've been around for a years it's just that they only now fit into a subgenre that's becoming popular with bands like Evanesance, Otep, and whatnot. Chick metal (as I'm now calling and trademarking it as) is a subgenre I've been following for years but since the mallcore kids have latched on to the sound thanks to that shit Evanesance, it's popular within the "underground" (quote/unquote). My friend's band started out a couple years ago as just a guitarist and a female vocalist and last year they were offered a contract to CM. They turned it down when the original guitarist left and now my friend is their guitarist. I plan on advising him to sign with CM because I want them to be successful but I'll warn them that the moment CM starts losing interest in them and quits promoting them like they use to, to ditch CM for The End or SPV/Steamhammer; labels that will respect them as not just another piece of property.

Kreutz Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 Picked up Karmacode today, it's pretty good. Not Comalies good, but good nonetheless. Link to comment
Crube Posted April 6, 2006 Author Share Posted April 6, 2006 I see... I might think about downloading it. Link to comment
ROCKSTEADY Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 The only female fronted band that ive "kinda" liked was Otep (but even they sucked), i really havent heard a good one yet, except for Circle Takes the Square... they dont count though Link to comment

Tanni Foemangler Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Lacuna Coil definitely got a huge boost after Evanescence hit the airwaves. i remember people who'd never heard of LC suddenly knowing them after hearing "heaven's a lie" on the radio Link to comment
HappyLittleBoozer Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 They don't even play their more acoustic stuff like "My Wings" at concerts anymore, to my knowledge. Link to comment

I don't know if you were trying to connect those two statements, but popularity by proxy and popularity by exposure are two different things. Link to comment

Tanni Foemangler Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 weird. i've never seen anyone opposed to the idea that some musicians get injected into the mainstream after bands who sound like them experience success. it's not even an abstract concept Link to comment
Tanni Foemangler Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 if we were content to let things be, it just wouldn't be AE :crube: Link to comment
