i genuinely meant 'they are all shit' - sorry.

PWEI i just cannot stand at all. Apparently some of their earlier stuff was ok, but i have heard their agit-pop stuff and its cringeingly bad.

:confused:

their law? and what?

they are all shit, basically. it's just that PWEI are also genius with it.
the only one of these bands with a sense of humour for a start and generally much smarter than anyone, even themselves, gives 'em credit for.
unlike the other three they were also original, from time to time.....
 
Can't believe PWEI are winning this.
If it came down to a fight ATR would beat all the other pussy at the same time. PWEI are the weakest of the bunch.

ATR defo

ATR:

"yeh, with our teutonic breakcore and our mindless, easily remembered slogans, we shall bring capitalism to its KNEES!!! mwahahahahah"

Essentially Manic Street Preachers for goths
 
PWEI were much more than any of them other bands could ever hope to be.

they were fun, for a start. and they didn't just churn out the same rap-funk-metal dirge, like RATM. they experimented, the tried, and most of the time they succecceeded.

which is why they were The Incredible PWEI.

unspoilt by progress.
 
to go from Oh Grebo I Think I Love You to Can U Dig It to Ich Bin Ein Auslander in just a few years?

While RATM still sound like you're being moaned at by your little brother over a dodgy metal album? And ATR were just silly. And ADF were a bit dull and worthy and one-dimensional

POPPIES SAY GRRR!!
 
what do people reckon to the new adf album with the dude from king prawn on vocals?

I love it. but i miss king prawn more then most so may be a little biast.

PWEI had great tshirts and album covers and song titles, but the songs were all really pedestrian. really slow and boring and the rapper whas shit
RATM were great for the first two albums, very shouty and angry and catchy. they definetely hit their glass ceiling but they were brilliant at the time
ADF were amazing live, same deal tho, they were great at first but they were kind of all one thing
ATR were just really silly and noisy. and Alec Empire is fucking briliant
 
and some of the b-sides they've done were fantastic. "wild west" and "let it flow" for example.

and The Incredible PWEI vs Dirty Harry is such a good tune. they were so ahead of their contemporaries. compare what they were doing in the early 90s to what most other indie bands were doing.

yeah, that's about 130bpm and the rapping is rubbish exactly how I remember it

that's embarassing tbh :D

i'd say it's more embarassing that you need a song to be super fast before you can enjoy it. you are out of your teenage years, yeah? ;)

and they never made any claims to be great rappers. they just sung how they sung. they kept it real ;)
 
well if you think that is anything but slow and pedestrian then you are just showing your age

even that album RATM did which was them covering hiphop was less slow and pedestrian than 'the dance of the mad'

I don't

I like songs at 90 and 180 bpm :D
 
But RATM were fucking shite, no matter how many BPM they used!

Shouty noise for easily influenced kids.
 
but with tom morello on guitars who has one of the most unique, original and cool guitar sounds around.

can't say i biother to listen to what zak is saying that much but i love them musically including zaks flow over everything.

quality band.

Zak didn't have flow. He had SWP-level sloganeering and tantrums.
 
The Poppies made me laugh but every now and then they irritated me beyond belief.
I've never liked ADF ever
Never heard any ATR but liked their name...
Used to really love RATM but knew that there was something innately sad about them.

They were all just silly boys being silly and every now and then it was too noticeable :D
