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.

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?

InMe - Raz's favourite band ever.

oh it was

I can respect other peoples opinion about music, I was just offering mine. You like them, fair enough, I don't.

I didn't say anything about the people who buy the music, so what your last comment is about I'm not sure.

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!

possibly the most annoying voice ever, without those vocals it'd be marginally better.

Most DiS writers aren't rock lovers following in the lineage of Kerrang, but indie/pop/alternative writers following in the lineage of NME/Melody Maker and so, while a genuinely great song should hopefully get a good review, generic rock/modern metal is more likely to earn a slagging than an 'average' rating. Personally there is plenty of uninspiring indie retro nonsense around at the moment that offends me more than the fairly average InMe, but there we are. I would say songwriting 'Indie' bands are fashionable at the moment and probably receive rather too much benefit of the doubt, while EmoPunkMetalRapLinkinBizkitSlipkorn is no longer fashionable, and has to fight for column inches along with every other unfashionable genre. C'est la vie... when Limp Bizkit did their excellent and genre-defining first album they were still an underground band. Perhaps metal needs to rid itself of the wannabe stadium rockers and spend some time inventing some new secret weapons.

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.

*sigh*

See my post above...

Where do they find you people?...

"guys hate the band because they are jealous"

Why does this argument get used so often? Its the sort of thing 10 year olds say, not 18 year olds who should know better.

Right...much as I respect your right to your opinion I can't help but point out a glaring irony inherent in your post. You accuse people of knowing "jack-s**t about rock music" but saying "inme are not in any shape or form commercial" is in itself immensely ignorant.

Don't make me list the reasons that statement is wrong; I could seriously go to town if you want me to but it'd be very boring and muso-ish so I really don't fancy doing it. I must stress I'm not saying that sounding commercial is a bad thing - I actually like quite a bit of stuff that could reasonably be described as fairly mainstream - but InMe are commercial in just about every aspect of both their sound and their compositional technique. That's a simple matter of fact.

And I've said all I have to say about the "you're just jealous" issue already.

They're shit.

u talking to me??

"WELL YOU ARE FROM BRISTOL, THAT IS ALL THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID."

Flawless logic but I'm actually from Colchester, on the other side of the country.

"WELL YOU DO NOT LIKE INME WELL I DO SO THATS IS ALL."

I didn't mention Inme. I was challenging your argument for why they are good.

"IV FLOWN INTO BRISTOL AIRPORT ONCE WITH EASYJET, BUT LUCKY ENOUGH FOR ME I WASNT THERE FOR LONG"

The airport is a bit boring isn't it. See Bristol next time. Its a nice city.

Anyway, I shall look out for that guy, my Kiwi friend. Hei kona ra.
