i dont know where else i can leave a comment, so ima just leave it here. haha, i really dont know; the way i saw it when i reviewed it, i feel like alot more people who like crappy alternative music would be into it. back then my friend nolan and i were just getting into post rock (although i bought takk 2 years ago). like now if i was to review it, it would probably be alot more professional. because i know similar bands like hrsta, set fire to flames, silver mt zion, godspeed, ratatat, etc. uhhh i recomended death cab because their new album was a real shitty attempt at blackened post rock haha and i had just recently listened to it before listening to takk. i couldnt stand listening to the whole album so i deleted my internet copy and never reviewed it. death cab went downhill after transatlanticism.
haha, hows valley? students as good as alyssa and me?? haha
my friends and i finally started a band. right now the stuff is avant-garde because i made a crappy demo that was of only me. but like it ranged from atmospheric sludge to black metal, deathcore to folk. but like our band has plans to go in the direction of "post-deathcore" and we're basically going to invent a new genre of music. because me and the bassist are highly influenced by post rock and death/black metal; the guitarist and i are highly influenced by "core" music (deathcore, metalcore, emocore, popcore) and then our drummer is like underoath influenced and isnt really good haha. check out our page when u get the chance, we're hopefully gunna start writing soon, we havent had practice in a month or two because ive been cutting class and shit during school and got busted so ive been grounded, and drummer is busy, and guitarist moved to a new school. myspace.com/arbiterofwarnj
