todays music sucks

This argument has been going on for as long as I can remember. What do I think? I'll sum it up in two words for starters. "Who cares?"

It takes a real musician to appreciate what people do to keep music alive. I'm thankful music is still a wonderful option as a career. Though I know a lot of people are not musicians, but if you don't like what the public is displaying then just ignore it. Don't spit on the people who like it either. I'm not a fan of mainstream works here in NA, but I'm not going to bash them for putting out what the crowd wants.

In any case, I like all sorts of music. My favorite of them being Visual Kei. I like the style and the music portions of it.

Example:

 
'60's-90's was the best music imo. Im 15 and I preferr all that, where it was singing instead of yelling, actually playing the chords and music, rather than programming it so you hit 1 key on keyboard and you have your whole damn song.
 
I'm one of the minority that really liked damnation and a day - feel free to shun me now XD
I will say though, British metal pretty much rules the genre. =P
And DIME - I like Nymphetamine, but thornography isn't my favourite personally...

Believe it or not, Damnation and a Day is my FAVORITE album. Seriously. I can't describe the surge of pure awesome that goes through me whenever I hear a song from that album. Not to mention the theme was just so fucking poetic it makes me cry. "Satan's side of the story..." I believe is how Dani described it, but in more words.

Nymphetamine was my first Cradle album, and I fell in love with the songs like Absinthe With Faust (how can anyone not see the lyrical AND musical genius in that song?) and Overdose.

As for Thornography, it gets waaaay too much hate. Sure, it was guitar heavy - but it was different and still brutal. Dani's getting old and can't keep up the same vocal perfection, so he tried a different style of singing. I respected that and I actually liked it.

Bleh, sorry. Touchy subject for me; I absolutely adore Cradle.

Edit: And let's not forget how they came back with Godspeed on the Devil's Thunder. That shit was epic.
