bands you don't like, but others do

lol Well, in my tiny little circle... I have met several people that did. I think it was just because Tim Gaines and Robert Sweet were involved with that first album.

I forgot Underoath. Cries of the Past is the only album of theirs I can sit through. Seems like every kid I bump into loves Underoath, but all they now is the new stuff with Solid State Records.

Well, at least the kids love 'em.

I liked The Changing Of Times mainly because it also had strong death metal leanings and a different vocalist. After that album they changed vocalists and turned from an innovating emo/black/death band into a generic annoying emo metalcore band.

Underoath sucks. I saw them live once. I'll never pick up any of their albums after that atrocity.

I was there to see other bands, not them. They were just there.

Dallas Taylor did vox on "Cries of the Past" as well. I got a copy of "The Changing of Times" free because I knew the music store manager and he knew I dug "Cries.." I have to admit, when it first came out, I dug "Changing of Times." For whatever reason, I got board with that one... but yeah, ever since they went scr-emo, I lost interest. I guess they were trying to follow the trends??? Since it seems like most Church youth rocker kids are all about scr-emo. Does that last sentence make any sense?

Of course after "Changing..," Dallas left and eventually started 'Mayleen and the Sons of Disaster.' While I do like 'Mayleen...' I have to be in the mood for 'em.

Most bands out there...

as for metal, the big ones that spring to mind

Guns N Roses
Megadeth
Overkill
Testament
