Kinda like a cross between Rush and Faith No More it seems like.
At least that's who they remind me of. |

Sorry, I just can't stand this group. They sound too much like a Rush tribute band. [/ QUOTE ] They sound NOTHING like Rush, save the lead singers voice. Actually, they sound like Metallica, except with Geddy Lee sitting in for James. Geddy Lee circa 1978 that is... JunkHead |

My buddy mentioned these guys to me a while back and said I needed to hear them. Upon hearing their name I was super skeptical and haven't. Maybe I should.

I think they sound like Rush too, and saying, "except for the lead singer's voice" is a bit like saying someone sounds nothing like Sinatra, "except for the voice." Its a big part of what makes their sound distinctive.
How come I can tolerate Opeth's vocals, but I have to turn these guys off the second the lead opens his mouth? |

I agree the singers voice is a huge part of a bands sound, but you cannot discount the music, and musically this band sounds nothing like Rush. JunkHead |

Which songs have you listened to? A Favor House Atlantic and Welcome Home would be my guess. Any others?

Welcome Home for sure. Some time ago, before this latest album, I downloaded a handful of songs from a couple albums (the circle of the earth thing was one, definitely sounds familiar) since I was hearing such good things. Just couldn't take it.

Fair 'nuff. Do you have opinions on The Mars Volta?

Who?
For the most part, I don't like a lot of the recent wave of indy/hardcore/punk/emo-ish bands that have come out. The Shins are OK at best, for example. Stuff like The Killers doesn't appeal to me at all. Thursday was the only one of the emo-ish/screaming rock bands that I like, and I also like The Postal Service's "Give Up," although I have no idea what the [censored] genre that is. |
