its not supposed to be screamo... i know. to me it sounds like... bad thursday. like they tried to half ass screamo while appealing to hardcore kids or something. i dont know. in all fairness, i havent seen them live, and ive heard that changes peoples' minds about them thats what did it for me, although theyre still not a band I listen to on a daily basis.

I was stoked on the new defeater for a few days. After listening to it a couple of time, I just got really bored with it. Wake me up when Orchid gets back together and puts out new music.

It took me a bit to get into it, just like all their other releases. Really digging it though.

I think it's good, but I feel like they're way too over-hyped. The lyrics aren't very good and it annoys me how often they use words like "bottle" and "addiction". You also don't have to talk about things like "walking down to the general store" to give the whole ol' time feel. That said, the music is just really simply good. This is exactly how I feel. I think I've heard "cold steel tracks" multiple times. Their constant nomadic lyrics just get redundant and a little boring.

Which band did Defeater used to be? Sex Postions or Sluts or something like that?

Never heard Sluts. What did they sound like?

Also, just heard one of the acoustic songs off this record ("I Don't Mind"), and I thought it sounded like 90s soft rock.
