Black Tide & how they have fallen off the proverbial cliff of greatness

[Snitsky]

I'm sure alot of you know who Black Tide is , they have 3 songs on RB

Well anyway they have some new songs out and most recently a song called "Walking deadman"

This is a topic to discuss how shocked I am at their fall from greatness

Before

After

I'd describe them as

Before : Iron Maiden + Metallica had a baby

After : Bullet For My Valentine got wasted and then hooked up with Nickelback and had a baby

How the hell they could have fallen so far is ridiculous to me

If they had continued in the general style they were doing before , they could have gone down in history as the saviors of metal or something but now they have conformed to be like many of the others who crank out mostly mediocrity

Really dissapointing....

eh, 6 of one, half dozen the other. The early track was a bit more technical, but neither one was what I would consider "great". Unless of course you mean, great, another generic metal band. In which case, both songs are great!

[Mega-Tallica]

Eh, they weren't great to begin with and now they just went from okay to bad.

They're still young and still have a long time ahead of them. They have talent, but instead they waste it on trying to be the modern day Metallica with 80's-esque metal ballads. Maybe when they mature a bit, they'll find some originality instead of trying to gain mainstream success by writing generic metalcore.

"Black Tide" "Great"

This.

Hard to completely write off a band whose members still aren't old enough to legally drink in the US.

I don't hear the Nickleback influence.at all.

"Black Tide" "Great"

Ahahaha.

yeah pretty much this


money ruins everybody's aspiration to create something worthwhile

Well I wanted to say they sounded like BFMV mixed with... SOMETHING ... something pretty annoying/bad just so its like saying "They sound like an inferior version of BFMV" or something

[killer_roach]

They're not great, no, but they had some potential to improve on what they had going for them, at least. But they ruined that.

...for now, at least.

[Snitsky]

What makes this more shocking is that they said they wrote like 42 songs for this record and picked what they felt were the best 10 or so

............So how horrible must the other 32 songs they wrote be?
