InMe
Faster The Chase

I met their drummer at Finsbury Park.
He played air drums.
Just for me.

Shit, I've rated them half a star. It should of course be zero.

there was not a single full stop in there.
I'm in a bad mood.

*chortle*

Yep, last year at Reading the whole gang were there - Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Alien Ant Farm, Blink 182, Sum 41, Bowling for Soup... there was another one too, but I can't remember them. Who actually buys this crap?

That is the harshest review i have ever read.....its better than The fucking Rasmus. I just wish that people would leave these bands alone, i mean, EVERYONE liked Linkin Park at first until they became more mainstream. Its a good song, from a band who ok, got qbig too quick, but still deserve some recognition after all they are only playing stuff they wanna play. Just let them do their fucking job.

'EVERYONE liked Linkin Park at first until they became more mainstream'

I hated them from One Step Closer up until Til The End which I found actually very likable, so in fact that would be the opposite pretty much...

I would have to agree with james here. people seem to have a problems with bands becoming popular through no fault of their own (i blame kerrang and little 10 year olds) but ANYWAY i will say that its not always the case cos ya whatever way back in which year it was i bought hybrid theory as my introduction to "metal/rock...." what have you, and gradually i saw what was really out there and i'm into alice in chains, in flames, a perfect circle, mudhoney now and have totally gone off linkin park not because they became "big" but because i realised how crap they were in comparison to other bands. So at least it weened me off what i was previously listening to (i.e. limp bizkit *shudders* and other crap), and ive totally lost the point now.... i do this a lot.... swish.... Well I like InMe cos I just do and I'm ok with people thinking they are crap cos its their opinion just like i think linkin park are crap. And I am not going to write really long posts anymore and I am going out to get totally langerated now so I'll forget I ever posted this... as will most of ye who read it. Ahem.

i've only seen Inme once (supporting Hundred Reasons in September 02) - and they were laughable - altho i have to admit the drummer was playing out of his pre-pubescent skin. the 'singer' sounded like he had a suicidal frog in his throat, and the bassist looked like he forgot to go to the loo before going onstage. maybe someone should invite Osama and his semtex buddies along to one of their gigs.

InMe - Raz's favourite band ever.

I stayed around for inMe last year at the Dome thing. I just don't get it. What on earth is so special about this band? It was some of the blandest pap I've heard. Just so utterly nothing...

because there is good music and there is bad music...otherwise will young is no worse than, say, Muse.
you're allowed opinions - but unless you're saying all music is not measurable in quality (in which it could be argued no music is better than any other, so there is no point to any musical discussion EVER, and quality is purely judged on chart position or something of the like), then bands will always be crap. i don't like inme either, for the record. also, your argument changed halfway through your message.

andy, that review was a tad shit and uncalled for mate. inme are one of those bands that you like or dont - a lot of people seem to not like them and love the shit from the nme, however a fuck load of people actually really like inme, so im sure they really dont give a shit about what people think of them - it is the people that buy their music and go to their shows that they care about - if you dont like, dont listen to it!

why are most of you bitchen about inme you dont like them fair enough dont listen to it and will your note really make adifference to the 10.000 other comments!
i like inme mostly because of their songs i admit the the ist albumn was pretty crap besides a few songs and their lyrics and what they actually say mean something unlike some songs.
i really dont understand why most guys hate them ??!!

because everyone has their own taste? or because inme don't add a great deal to pop-metal as a genre? after all, the whole point of DiS seems to be bitching about different music. 'sgreat!

You missed the words: spotty, black wearing, and depressed for no reason at all, apart from moaning is in fashion.

Right, that's it. In the name of fundamental sanity, before anybody posts anything on this board ever again, please bare the following in mind:

1. If you like a band, and somebody else has a vehement and vocal dislike for them, it DOES NOT MEAN they are trying to deny you your opinion. If somebody presents you with their view, they do not need to qualify it with "but that's just my opinion"; if it wasn't their bloody opinion they wouldn't be saying it.

2. If somebody expresses their hatred for a given act, and said act happens to be popular, it DOES NOT MEAN they are jealous. Who knows, it may even just mean they think they're crap.

3. If you fail to provide any coherent, musical arguments to support your views, don't expect to be taken seriously.

4. If you fail to write in proper English, don't expect to be taken seriously. In fact, don't even expect your comment to be read. DO expect copious ridicule, and don't complain about it when such a thing comes to pass.

Thank you.

totally agree with you.

see my review of the last bluetones lp or the phonics or the strokes live.

shit indie should be slagged like shit metal

but enough my times up

ax

i jsut read the above comment, and it actually made me laugh. im not sure if you were joking or not either way its funny

"i really dont understand why most guys hate them ??!!"
erm try reading what you said just before that for your answer.

"i admit the the ist albumn was pretty crap besides a few songs..."

"their lyrics and what they actually say mean something unlike some songs"

give an example of some of their lyrics that actually mean something or are the remotest bit insightful.
im not picking on you i could qutie easily pick apart the 10 or so other posts from people who like inme and are posting about it (why would you do that? keep it hidden if you like them.)

also i dont like them because they are no better than good charlotte and the like. their songs (lyrically and musically) mean nothing to me, they neither make me want to sing along/get up and dance/think about life/or make me want too listen to more of them, which any good music should do.

also i dont like what the nme tells me to like or what the nme tells me to dislike. i don't mind a couple of linkin parks singles for a few listens (then they get irratating) but their albums are pish. + people may have liked them to start with, then heard their new stuff and realised its almost exactly the same, so therefore disliked them. i always find its good to listen to crap music (to an extent), because then when a really good band/song comes along you appreciate it that little bit more.

Remember that all press is better than no press. If InMe are still being slagged off then it shows that they still make <i>some</i> impression on the world. Far worse for them would be to be ignored, for life without the oxygen of publicity is a hard life indeed. So long as they use negative press as a spur to be creative and a spur to change the world of rock, then it is therapeutic, however if they persist in trying to flog us dead horses, there will come a point where nobody can be bothered to even slag them off.

I don't think the reviewer's intention was to make people share his opinion. He was merely expressing his own dislike for it.
Also, I don't think InMe's popularity is the reason that people don't like them...

ah yes, i agree, but i fear i may have to kill you now, for you see metal has been breeding robotic crappypop killers for the past couple of years and you have stumbled across our master plan. damn.

Yeah, because Stereophonics and The Bluetones are sooo fashionable and no-one else dares to criticise them

wow!! i want 3 thumbs

Maybe people who'd heard them before but never considered them worth giving their opinion on decided to after seeing the article and reactions

OK only speculating...but it seems like it just ain't cool to admit to liking InMe and so people are jumping the bandwagon. It's the good old media trick of building up people only to try and knock 'em down.

*sigh*

See my post above...

Where do they find you people?...

those of you who are slating inme want to take a good look at what you are saying and realise that you know jack-s**t about rock music.

i have been into music all my life.. and i hate all these commercialised bands (i.e. those who are generated to make money from 8 year old girls)

inme are not in any shape or form commercial, and are certainly not mainstream... far from it. most "kids" find them depressing and "too heavy"

guys hate the band because they are jealous. just because three out of three band members happen to be good looking (which was unintentional may i add) does not mean they fit into the same category as bands like macfly and busted. they auditioned and were picked. inme have been together as riends and musicians for years. you just hate the fact that your ex-girlfriend fancied them more than you.

gimp boy.

and as for the comments about dave's voice.. that is just down to taste. it is hardily the kinda thing kids would like to listen to. the band deserve their fan base of "pre-pubescent" kids... i am 18.. and i love the band. i dont particularly fancy them. im not into commercial music. they are a good band.. and you are a knob

agreed. its used with so many bands (incubus, placebo etc) that it just gets tired

No, you're a nob. Don't be so intolerant of other people's opinions.

catch them live if you can and you will appreciate what an incredible voice Dave has. the new album in due out in September and judging by the number of people at the Sheffield gig you won't be the only person buying it.

Exeter Uni is about the closest they will get to you (3rd June). They played a couple of new songs (well, I hadn't heard 'em b4) and they sounded pretty good - but Overgrown Eden will be a tough album to follow.

inme r d best i met them last saturday at roadmender in northampton n i got a hug off of joe n dave. it was great me n ma m8s were like rite at d front rite infront of dave.

I think its pretty unfair typcasting inme fans as being prepubescant, and 99% girls.

I remember seeing these guys back in early 2002 before the hords of groupie girls turned up.. and i like them no less today.

They are great live, they make good songs.. if you dont like them just leave them alone for fuck sake

i completely agree with ya, no one hated them, or said anything about them, then all of a sudden they release a new song and suddenly everyones always hated them, hmmm...
Just seen them at Middlesbrough town Hall recently, despite the fact that it was full of 12 year olds (ahem!) they didn't play too badly, and certainly got the (pre-pubescent) crowd going.......what was my point, i'm sorry, i forgot
oh well....

u talking to me??

whoever does not like inne suck, i would like to see any of you useless buggers to try and do better i dont see any of you guys or gilrs on tv ripping it up.
dave has got one of the most unique voices in todays music industy.
INME ARE THE BEST BAND
AND THAT IS FINAL.

WELL YOU ARE FROM BRISTOL, THAT IS ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID.
WELL YOU DO NOT LIKE INME WELL I DO SO THATS IS ALL.
IF YOU KNOW OF A GUY CALLED SAM KERSHAW FROM BRISTOL LET ME KNOW AS I WORKED WITH HIM IN EDINBURGH. IM FROM NEW ZEALAND THOUGH.
IV FLOWN INTO BRISTOL AIRPORT ONCE WITH EASYJET, BUT LUCKY ENOUGH FOR ME I WASNT THERE FOR LONG

I don’t particularly care what most people’s opinion is of InMe, however I’d like to inflict my view onto those who may read this. I think that the review may have been a tad harsh, although I don’t agree with it, I have to admit the comment at the beginning was quite humorous. At this point I should point out that I’m 15 (not some 14 year old pre-pubesant but still close); I am also fan of InMe. This article, music tastes aside was actually a good article; the guy knows what he’s on about and seems to have a good grasp of music knowledge so (several months late) I’m asking if people would please reframe from their mundane, three sentence, long criticisms. By the way Dave is a talented singer, and I have had training in this area so I know what I’m on about, and to those who just think he’s a whining twat…good for you.
