You are the idiot if you think they aren't a politically based band.
They write songs about Bush and the war, and sure, one song doesn't make you a political band. But being political doesn't mean just writing about George Bush. They have songs about the Armenian government and the genocide they inflict on their people. 95% of their songs touch on different political issues. They just write them poorly.

Actually more like 60% of their songs, if you've heard all their songs you would know that not that many are about political ****, including the Armenian genocide

Oh, well you just admitted that more than half of their songs are politically based, yet you have the audacity to say they aren't a political band?

How is genocide not political?

metaliger 05-27-2006 02:04 PM

Fine if you can consider war and a genocide to be political then they do have more political songs, there. But do lyrics really matter? Does it really matter what they say, when you could be just enjoying the music?

Well considering that a lot to most music is vocally based I think that's a dumb question.

That would be much easier if the music was enjoyable, alas, it isn't.

Agreed. And there isn't much in the music.

metaliger 05-27-2006 02:08 PM

And how is that?

Repetative power chords.
Aggravating speak/shout vocals.
Horrendous ear splitting Daron singing.
Cliche lyrics.

Bad combo.
