Whooooooo
what is the matter with you people i think there awesome i went to one of there concert and i brang my friend with me he was not a Christan and was a bit unsure at first he loves them and listens to them 24 seven he now believes in Christ how cool thanks dweeb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oscar you clearly don't have much of a view on music?? 2007 mainstream album of the year?? i dont think so! there is a reason theyre not doing any significant tours or selling cd's... and what does monty python have to do with anything?? you sound like one of the reviewers for cross rhythms!! who know very little about mainstream rock!
Unfortunately, it seems like good old understatedly absurd British humour is appreciated much less than it used to be... :-(
This album has taken its time on growing on me, but I'm pretty sure that it's one of the best albums of 2007, Christian or mainstream.
mat: I found the sound to sound more raw than poorly produced, but as ever, it's a subjective measurement. Also, I'm pretty sure they're not meant to be melodic.
fan of mat: Yes, they are rather cheesy (read: bizarre), and that's their gimmick. But there's nothing wrong with that. It's the reason Monty Python are so appreciated even today.
I would, however, complain that the album goes on a little bit too long, and I don't think the same sound would work for another album, so I look forward to hearing [dweeb]'s stylistic evolution. :-) Also, I'd have loved to have heard another really good subversive ballad in the style of "Needless Illness", rather than the somewhat too-standard-for-this-album "Prisoner".
(But then again, I think Weird Al's song "Pancreas" is one of the most brilliant musical experimentations I've ever heard, so feel free to ignore my opinions)
i have two of there albums and they are a bit wierd but they are good. compared to bands like slipknot and slayer they are not the best but they bring people to god and they are very good live. for the people who make bad comments i would like to see you produce music so unique and good.
i agree with mat! CR are definately guilty to giving stupid ratings to average music! dweeb may be good musicians but they are one of the cheesiet most gimicky non mainstream bands on the circuit!! But then if they intend to stay in the christian market then i guess it works. lol!
Awesome? Excuse me? I found the sound irritating and poorly produced. Maybe the vocals have a distinct flavour, but it is not for the mainstream. Just because something different comes along, does not mean it is great. And why does CR always give average home groqwn talent ridiculous ratings? Clearly dweeb have talent, but it gave me a headache. Perhaps they are good live. I enjor listening to melodic rock, but this was not melodic enough to persevere with. Sorry.
DWEEB are class, they played at sweoutdoor in N.Ireland and they are just a brill LIVE band! bring on the 19th of april!
Anticipated by who?? its hardly as exciting as the thought of underoath's follow up to define the great line...get your facts straight!
Facts??? Straight??? My friend, you're missing the point. Sure, Underoath are huge and many people are anticipating the release of DTGL follow-up. However, does this mean that no other album can be highly anticipated?
The reviewer states ICFOS as 'one of the most anticipated releases of the year.' This album was released in 2007. Underoath's new album was not.
From the review there was never even a hint of Mike Rimmer stating this was more anticipated than Underoath's next release. The fact is that [dweeb] have released a rock album bursting with creativity and individuality, something the UK scene is sadly lacking.
Awesome, have seen them live before, and this record really captures their liveliness and energy. The first 6 songs are all sensational, and Battle Scars is a winner too. Great to hear a contemporary-sounding Christian band, any of these tracks could appear on Kerrang radio or 6music and not feel out of place. A triumph!!!!!
Saw the band this morning totally amazing actually had a guitar workshop with them yesturday as well and the guy knows his stuff i mean a few seconds i was like woah dude tht guy on guitar makes the chilli peppers looks lame a definite band that will challenge this worlds thought on christian music
