     A boring vocalist is more likely to ruin things for me than boring instrumentals. On the other hand an amazing vocalist may just be able to a save a song for me.

     

    works both ways for me

     

     

     for truly great songs, both things have to fit

    agreed

    Which part do you care about more, or end up leaning toward? Do both parts have to be good for you to listen to the band?

     

    Me personal, I'll go with vocalist because i don't really listen to music with out vocals. Also i can get attached to them, for example if a band disbands i want the vocalist to come back to music the most, and not so much the other members even if they were wonderful too.

     

    but then again the instrumental is what you moving to, hmmm what do you guys/gals think?

    i prefer stuff from  2002 - present. so new vk cause old vk is a blahhh. avelcain does old school mix good though. and im mad reload switch to mainly doing old school what a waste of a wonderful voice! plus old school make up is just white stuff on face and mostly dumb outfits. mana-sama is the only good on from back then.

     

     

    edit: old so called heavy stuff was just a bunch of noise and has nothing tov do with sound quality, cause old depain sounded great. also lot slam and ginded death metal have bad quality but sound awesome. Whats with all the hate on reload? that is the best those ppl will ever get unless they go back to modern music. And all their songs sound the same ha have you herd grieva? just seems like alot people hate Core, melodic and rock, and electronics. and look why in the hell would you want to look foolish (not inculding mana-sama), when in modern you can look proper cute, beautiful, hot, sexy and dark. yes some still look foolish. as for scary DIo owns that. and fan service existed in both in old in new vk but old was horrible. The old generation would take girls number so they would buy all their stuff, and throw private party they basically goldigers. now in vk they give back to their fans by throwing them private lives and giving them exclusive free stuff. old school further shitted on by the way better covers. and alot of stuff sounds and looks the same even though Sugizo , Kenzi, Toshiya , and Kirito want to deny it. the old farts hating on youth.

    To me music is a freaking rollercoster. when i fist started it was into the uppeat - heavy stuff . my team was lm.c the gazette D oz screw lycaon sid born sadie mejibray megaromania kriyu deathgaze. then i just wanted all the heavy and hard bands. but then every thing changed when i herd signal melt/animosity and XecsNoin bright darkness, those were really heavy (around that same time i started to notice how generic japan was like everyone useing the same riffs and how simply some bands were so i cut bands and started to hate).  the hunger for something stronger, heavyer, bands began to grow and japan was cuttin it (vk, TOUHOU) so i set of to the the rest of the world minus some countries for metal/deathcore and MDM, got in death metal while still having a foot in vk. after that i cut more bands and moved some bands rank down. i cant explain what i like and dont like now because its still a mystery to me but yes my taste changed alot even out of japan. i like bands that i thought were trash now too and to this day bands' ranks are getting shiffed.

    I'm just going to jump in and say none of the bands mentioned earlier are post-hardcore. Atreyu is metalcore with vocals heavily influenced by hardcore, early Ax7 was also metalcore before they went alternative metal/hardrock. And devil wears prada is also metalcore, although their ZOMBIE EP had some deathcore influenced vocals. I'm not really familiar their earlier work, but everything from ZOMBIE EP upwards is amazing. Heavy, melodic and creative. There's a lot of interesting riffs, cool synths, brutal vox balanced by melodic cleans and sick drumming.
     

    Seeing as TDWP is metalcore and a thousands years of plague is deathcore I feel it's unfair to compare the two.  I liked what I heard from a thousands years, but  I honestly wouldn't call them original or creative by any means. At least not from that one song. There are a lot more creative/brutal bands in the deathcore scene.

    no you miss understand i never was talking about the screams being different, not the instrumental and my reply was to someone who i think mention deathcore as the vocals all sounding the same. and screams are screams so i thinks it is ok to compare i mean they did sound similar.

     these are my top deathcore bands, i think are creative/different.

    I can actually do high screams like that band lol.

    if you're looking for a better band, try The Devil Wears Prada (old songs), the screams are better, music more creative

     

    sorry dude they are good but A Thousand Years Of Plagues is just better. and for me brutal deathcore is love when i find em. with the generic comment, what genre isn't generic?

    I think the "being used to it" is a huge factor. Some years ago I didn't like harsh vocals, or at least not when they compromised the entire song. Nowadays it seems completely normal to me. Sometimes today I come across bands with harsh vocals that I don't like at first, but because the songs themselves are great I listen to them anyway - until I suddenly notice that I don't mind the vocals anymore

    i do the same thing

    I'll never get things like this. You dislike every single oshare kei bands because some uses autotune? That doesn't make sense. One can use autotune tastefully, so you don't have to sound like T-Pain or anything and go full retard with the whole shit.

     

     

    I don't mind growling or harsh vocals (never heard harsh vocals in any VK band though) as long as it fits the music. That's the only thing I care about. It needs to fit the music. And in the VK scene there's good growlers and bad growlers, just like in the rest of the music scene in the world.

     

    And I don't get the whole "they shouldn't growl because they don't have the training" thing that some have said in this thread. One needs training to growl and use harsh vocals? When did someone need any training to do this shit?

    amen
