Mineral - Palisade

[foxholeprayers]

Saw these guys in Austin in the 90s and they were a forgettable pop punk band. Then Sunny Day Real Estate came out and they totally jumped that train. Dude became a poor mans Jeremy Enigk. Their is a difference between being influenced by a singer and totally ripping him off. This guy didn't seem to care about that. The cadence, the timbre, everything. sad.

@foxholeprayers

totally agree, I always thougth that, but,m although it coulb be embarrasing..hehe I like Mineral songs ..hahaha

[illuminatijews]

@foxholeprayers

I think Mineral was very influenced by Sunny. But, i dont he ripped them off. I can distinguish between Mineral and Sunny. I cannot distinguish between Puddle of Mudd or Nirvana sometimes. Because, Puddle of Mud ripped off Nirvana. Oh wait, who did Nirvana rip off?? the pixies? Does that make Nirvana a bad band? They still write good music, is all im trying to say.

[mtorres2866]

Ive been playing Mineral and SDRE all week. Never gets old!

[jmosh435]

this conversion is bullshit. trombino recorded it. this should sound perfect. UNFORGIVABLE!

[nothingfeelstgood]

i always see arguments about emo on these types of bands. yes! it is emo! but its not the emo you know if you're obviously freaking out over it. get over it and hear the song, than compare it to hawthorne tits and than come back. this is good stuff right here. and its emo. not this modern day black and red goth shit.

[ixdor94]

quit fighting people. enjoy the tunes.

[SyndicalistTimes]

epic tune, definitive of this beautiful genre. Fuck all this bastardised nonsense that people listen to nowadays, this is classic.

[crassisdead]

@MyOroInvictus Same :)

[AnotherSeasonGone]

All of their songs have very Christian oriented lyrics

[enlightenednihilist]

ink and dagger... haha eric wareheim. i'm an atheist myself, but this is a favorite band and i'd love to share it with some of my christian friends given the chance.

[PaintballRush222]

@enlightenednihilist these guys arn't christian.

[mgersting]

@PaintballRush222 Chris Simpson was, very much so, at the time.

[PaintballRush222]

@mgersting Dosn't mean the music is

[mgersting]

@PaintballRush222 Did I say the music was? Christ, I hate the internet.

[PaintballRush222]

@mgersting Yeah but you implied it subliminally when you hinted that Chris was christian. What was the point of even saying it then?

[zippywaite]

amrs out like a scarecrow

[conradskill]

indeed

and lets not forget jimmy eat world

[kissonthenose]

one of my favorite bands.

[notyourmartyr]

Ah, Mineral. Such a shame the broke up before I heard of them, I'd have loved to have seen them.

[Toolovetoohate]

perfect

[Morgun1234]

word.

[aaragorn3]

his singing ruins the music

[kowtpr187]

i like it....its an aquired taste...how many people like coheed and cam. singing?

[brownsnation]

an acquired taste? Mineral was THE emo band and one of the groups that created and defined that genre but every single idiot kid like you that think fall out boy and all that other shit is "emo" or indie rock have absolutely no idea where this type of music came from.

go listen to my chemical romance and kill yourself.

[kowtpr187]

I dont listen to my chemical romance you retard..I was around playing shows with these bands when I was in highschool. I was saying to a jerk off who was making fun of the vocals that it is an acquired taste. I grew up when emo evolved from screamo. bands like 400 yrs, sleepytime trio, ink and dagger..etc.

[Bass0820]

hey fuck you asshole, MCR is my favorite band, you chode faggot

[StaleMilk5]

@brownsnation

actually, Rites of Springs was the original creator of emo

[Phoenixsinger93]

@StaleMilk5 And Embrace, Grey Matter, Moss Icon and others.

[venusfly9108]

@Phoenixsinger93 Embrace weren't emo. Mackaye actually considered that label to his band bullshit.

[Phoenixsinger93]

@venusfly9108 So did a lot of bands being called punk or goth or blah blah blah.

[ixdor94]

@StaleMilk5 i was about to say that <3

[hooligan2113]

@brownsnation <---Music Snob.

[monstawild]
