Well, I'm going to attempt to do a review on Sparta's Wiretap Scars while listining to some Sleater-Kenny.
Okay. As you may know, I reeeaallllyyyy like At The Drive In. Like, almost to much. There was this one time last summer were I was stuck to them for like two solid months. :? Well, I heard this album a long time ago. Before the Mars Volta album. But I didn't really take notice. Then other friends started getting into it more (i.e. Aaron Smith) so I gave it another shot.
This was when I was writing all my depressing crap (which is still going on, and off, and on. I'm really scared) and it was so good then.
The album in itself is pretty emo. Like, real emo. Good emo. It has sad lyrics (sad but not whiny; they're smart, like good emo) and split, distorted guitars stacked with some pretty cool drums.
It starts with the single Cut Your Ribbon, which starts out with a pretty cool drum beat thing. Then the singer screams in your ears and your adrenalin gets pumping instantly. But don't let the first song mislead you. The following songs are pretty gloomy and toally not screamy.
You'll definately have a couple of the intros stuck in your head for a few days. I still have them stuck in mine. But the intros of the songs are all thats great. Besides having catchy intros for almost all of the songs, the songs in themselves never get old like ever. And, if your like me and jump around the album, never listining through it, you'll find some new part in some new song that you havn't heard before and you'll be stuck on that song for the next three days.
Well, anyway. You'll definatly enjoy this album if your looking for something that isn't to hard, but it's not that whiny crap they try and sell you on mtv as 'emo.'
This isn't your pop emo... if that upsets any of you, well then you can go to your stupid warped tour and you can listen to your Yellowcard and your New Found Glory. Because people like me don't like you Good Charlotte groupie 'we really are punk, no really' attitudes. You listen to your Saves the Day and your Get Up Kids and your Dashboard Confessional and you prance around like you know emo and like your sad and you tell everyone that you're going to kill yourself and...and... you show everyone your dirty poetry and you beg for sympothy and you do your pot and smoke at that Dave Matthews concert when you decide you want to get in touch with nature and then you listen to your Avril and your Blink 182 and then you make your way to the nu metal crap with your Nickel Back and Three Doors Down and you go to your crummy rock shows and then you finally relize that none of that music is true. Then, and only then, may you come and join a chat my friends and I put on and discuss nothing all the time.
You only wish...
end transmission

I found something that pertains somewhat to your entry...maybe something to think about.
"One way or another, everyone seeks pleasure of some kind in music, and rejects music that does not provide it. . .We swoon to music's emotionality. And we derive pleasure from music's "meaning," whether inherent in the sound or expressed through lyrics or the symbols of performance and participation. All these pleasures unfold side by side, with the different genres of music emphasiszing different delectations. And so "the pleasure in music" is as complicated as music itself" MUSIC, THE BRAIN, AND ECSTASY by Robert Jourdain
