So at my new job, I listen to iTunes radio stations. I can't handle the constant dance music they blare throughout the building. Every day at least twice a day, Atreyu come on one of the stations and everytime I hear them, I have to wonder "why are these guys so damn popular?" Their songs are hardly catchy, and the guitar solos are pretty lousy. They try to have this tough look and sound, but the songs are hardly masculine. Check out this line from the song "Bleeding Mascara"
Oh How Pretty she is, when she falls down and there's no beauty in bleeding mascara lips are quivering like a withering rose
Oh, these guys don't just write about mascara. Nope. They've got your lips covered too with the song "Lip Gloss and Black". Fantastic eh? If this isn't enough to turn you away from this band, there is a song that always comes on and it's titled "Falling Down". No biggie, but the song has a part where it rips off of a classic Green Day song. Hitchin a Ride. Not cool. What's with all these bands ripping off parts from other good or not so good bands? Atreyu rippin Green Day, Finger 11 ripping a Skid Row song...No original material anymore among top 40 bands. They've already got the mainstream success, now they are proving how easy it is to steal from the past.
Enough ranting. Don't see Atreyu when they play Taste of Chaos. If you accidently buy tickets to that Godawful show with Avenged Sevenfold, TRY to get your money back. Or sell them to your local Middle School or scary freshmen walking down the street.
