Kinetic 0 Report post Posted May 14, 2008 "aingst" "Angsty" would be the adjective, as in "The latest Sadsack platter, Surplus of Pain, is a particularly angsty addition to their well-established canon of crap." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 I think I saw "Wilco-esque" (or some variation of that) in Time Magazine this week. I cried a little on the inside. Speaking of which, I frequently saw the phrase "Dad rock" attached to their most recent album. I still don't know what that means. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C Dubya 04 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 "This generation's Dylan" I think that one was first used about 5 weeks after Dylan's first record was released. At least it feels that way. Beck was the Dylan of my generation (according to Rolling Stone or some other terrible critic). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Copper Feel 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2008 "tight" "muscular" "pounding" Hey, what about common rock critic adjectives that we actually do like? "Fully-realised" would certainly qualify for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get the others but what the hell's wrong with country rock? Anyways, generally any band that's compared to Guns 'N' Roses is bound to suck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kinetic 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 I don't see it used much anymore, but "Intelligent Dance Music" was a sub-genre label that always irked me. Ditto "post-rock." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BUTT 0 Report post Posted May 16, 2008 Anyways, generally any band that's compared to Guns 'N' Roses is bound to suck. Man, I just was about to say this. Because it seems whenever that comparison is made, the band usually sounds like The Black Crowes. Or Buckcherry. I don't know which is less preferable. My friends were trying to tell me that this Avenged Sevenfold song: sounds like something from the Use Your Illusion albums. No it doesn't! It sounds like Creed, just with a less Vedder-esque singer. I hate the idea of "post-rock" as a genre. Edit: Oh shit, didn't see Kinetic's comment on post-rock. The point still stands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
