Well, considering I'll listen to pretty much anything (yesterday, within an hour, I was listening to Johnny Cash, ICP, Acid Bath, Slayer, Janet Jackson, Beethoven, Elvis, and some whiney emo band that my girlfriend subjected me to), I think that means CANDIRIA FUCKING SUCKS. They can be all "weird" and "innovative" as they want, their music is still shitty and the band is still one of the worst bands in existence (almost as bad as The Used...ALMOST).
Candiria is great. Their guitars are all over the place, and their drummer is INSANELY talented. He really can play a lot of differnet genres well. I can definitely see how someone wouldn't necessarily like their vocals because sometimes there is way too much shrieking. The beauty of Candiria is how unstructured their songs are, but the fact that they are still complex musically and have changes at all kinds of odd times. Too many bands (and bands that I do like) are predictable. Even when they are trying something different. But Candiria is just too all over the place, and listening to them for the first time is crazy. It's great because you can listen to the same album over and over again and still pick up things that you may not have heard the first time. The same goes for Today Is The Day, other really good odd-core bands like Dog Fashion Disco and even Mr. Bungle.
Candiria is one of those bands that I just want to see make it, because they really are doing their own thing and not ripping off someone else. Seeing them on "SNL" as the musical guest would be great, because they certainly have earned a chance to get mainstream exposure.
The Used isn't that bad a band, although there are songs on their album that are definitely better than other. They also put on an a great live show. It's the whole "Kelly Osbourne went out with their singer" cloud they have over themselves.
