I’m sure some of you have some artists that are generally beloved by the music community but you just can’t stand them.

For me it is The Mars Volta. It should be right up my alley, I like a lot of similar music but I can’t get over the vocals. They sound so emo (which kinda makes sense, given the background of the vocalist) but to me it just does not fit the music at all.

Not trying to shit talk them, just wanting to share some hot takes.

    Muse. The caterwauling vocals and incessant basslines make me literally nauseous.

      I feel this way about modern Muse, which is sad because I absolutely adore their older stuff. Not to mention, their recent albums are some of the most pandery, heavy-handed crap to have been released in recent memory.

        Yoooo I never knew about their Lightning Bolt cover but just checked it out and man you’re right what a drag.

        I was honestly just stoked to see somebody mention Lightning Bolt. What a badass band!
