love this band think their awesome, only really started to get into them a few months ago off last.fm, i'd heard of them but hadnt really been bothered to check them out until then.

I think the guitarist does a great job of providing background vocals especially in most choruses.

Worker Bees is a good example of this.

Great band though.

I really like them. The new album is stronger than the last one. They have a lot to say and do it in a great way. Hopefully I will be going to the warped tour to see them next month.

I've never thought this band was popular, they played the second stage at 2003 Lollapalooza and a DJ spun Try Honesty once, but it was enough for me. These guys remind me of Idlewild/Clash sometimes but never to a degree that their stealing.

I expect this group to get famous after their best work has long been released, an almost Iggy pop retro fame.

I keep hearing people talk about them, and I keep meaning to listen to them. They sound like something that I may enjoy.

Weird story, I ordered Billy Talent II from ebay about 6 months ago, and just got it today. Its pretty decent, but it wont ever touch the first. I dont care about your opinion, Billy Talent is still a pretty rad band.

I like Billy Talent. Them and Alexisonfire are my favorite Canadian bands.

My favorite songs are probably "This Is How It Goes" and "Pins And Needles".

Billy Talent is pretty good, I didn't like them much on their Debut album, in fact, I didn't like them much overall, until I saw them live. It's not that they themselves put on a crazy live show, but their sound is so good and it gets you hyped. I picked up their 2nd album and it was great. They don't seem to be seen nor heard that much anymore. Anyone else find that?

Worker Bees is awesome, Red Flag is awesome, and retroactively, I now love Into the River Below. That song used to drive me crazy when it came out.

They only thing I really see going for them is the fact that they can write a catchy song (which really is no trick).

Everything else is pretty superficial and overdone.

I loved the debut album but I havent heard anything in YEARS. The fandom has kinda faded it seems.

The new album was not good, but the first and second are kind of personal classics for me

Alfred 06-06-2010 04:43 PM

I still like the first album a lot.

clutnuckle 06-06-2010 05:10 PM

I was still really premature musically when Billy Talent II came out, but even I was thoroughly disappointed with it. Billy Talent III felt like I was being spat on by musicians who decided to not even try. I still like Billy Talent I once in a while.

Alfred 06-06-2010 05:18 PM

II's got some pretty ace songs but it has nothing on the debut. I don't even have to listen to III in its entirety to know that it's a wack of ****.

Same here. I and II will always hold a place in my heart.

Thrice 06-06-2010 10:43 PM

I still cannot really get into 2. There are a couple songs that I do find groovy, but the first one hit me so hard I can't turn back.

'So I hold my breath til my heart explodes...'

The only song I heard and like from Billy Talent is "Red Flag", but I should see if he has any more good songs.
