And Three Days Grace was lying. Or, if the fan reception tells me anything, they were selling out. Mainstreamingizing their factoring song as much as they can so everyone will be hyped up about their album when, in reality, they failed to produce a better single than Paramore.
And, to Paramore's credit, I was actually concerned about them releasing a crappy single. Considering all the hype was being shoved onto Misery Business, CrushCrushCrush, despite being a zetta terrible song, got quite a bit of popularity. Monetarily, the best thing to do to react to that would be to release another CrushCrushCrush as the single for their next album. But they didn't. Now, Three Days Grace, you factoring hectopascals, what can we learn from this? Not to pay $60 for special editions of your album the way I did, that's for sure. Now I don't know what I'll do with that t-shirt I'll get with it because wearing it would be a mark of shame. Thanks for being nice to your fans, you assholes! Fucking assholes!
Now, I'm not the kind of person who says my favorite band is selling out because one of their singles got on Guitar Hero or because you can buy their songs off of iTunes, I judge selling out by the sound of a band. Three Days Grace went for a more mainstream sound, blending with all those other metal bands, while Paramore diverged from their wuss-friendly pop-punk to anarchist-friendly punk. Is it unfair to judge these bands by their singles? Maybe in the case of Three Days Grace since their two guitarists differ greatly in style and sound. But honestly, if Paramore's got a better single than you, then all my respect is gone. So goodbye, Three Days Grace! You're going down from #3 to #4! See, it says on your website...
"the only ones we could really relate to were the true fans. They know what's going on inside your head because they are the ones that are hearing it in your music"
...And you just threw that away. Congratulations! You get the idiot of the year award! I hopre you're happy now!
