The R Rated Revolution

The High End of Low May 19th (We're From American, Arma-God-Damn-Mother-Fuckin'-Geddon)
Battle For the Sun - June 8th (Battle For The Sun, For What It's Woth)

Ah, Papa Roach. What do we actually know about them. Well actually they're not the most complex band to figure out. Their debut went 3x Platinum back in 2000 just like every other nu metal/rapcore act (NOTE: not implying that the two genres are synonymous) and of course by this time the scene had reached its commercial peak (Follow The Leader; Hybrid Theory; Chocolate Starfish etc) although significantly lost touch with its roots. Infest was considered a pure nu metal album, or at least it was fueled as thus by over exaggerated MTV rotation particularly of the lead single 'Last Resort' and fans could relate to that because it was a debut, and hadn't fallen for the nu metal sophomore curse yet - Limp Bizkit had a solid run but with 'Chocolate Starfish' (perhaps to an extent even in the 'Significant Other') they forgot what Jonathan Davis told them about BEING PISSED OFF and instead tried to attract some jocks into their fan base, this being the reason why 'Results May Vary' would have been a lot better released in fractions as b-sides during their 'well deserved hiatus' (bless System of a Down and their public relations ingenuity) .

Needless to say, by the time they released their sophomore effort Papa Roach became caught in the realm of forced hooks, cheesy rapping and unnecessary guitar effects. By the time 'Getting Away With Murder' came out the band experienced a form of resurgerence spawning several fan favourites although drastically changing their sound. With 'Paramour Sessions' there was a complete transformation, they had given to the new fad of melodic male oriented rock.

Now here we have 'Metamorphosis,' it is quite clear that vocalist Jacoby Shadix felt like the band was being alienated from the new scene so he gave his 'fellow' 'band mates' a complete makeover. They needed something that wouldn't make them a band nostalgic to the original emo genre but something that would appeal to the scene nevertheless. Metamorphosis depicts Papa Roach as a band that was Frankensteined in Sunset Strip California. The attitude, vast majority of the lyrics and of course the overall feel leads to the 80's Glam metal with a fused flair of modern alternative rock/metal. You can say that the band has matured to an extent, there are no more songs about incest and no more contradicting tracks like in the Paramour Sessions.' But they don't quite grasp the concept of how fun this genre is supposed to be despite it being the most progressively complex music to ever fully break into the mainstream. 'Metamorphosis' is a great record for a gig, but not quite to listen to because it gets tiring, and although they seemed to have found new uses for all of their stompboxes, the album is layered with clichés and sometimes has a hard time standing out seeing how almost half the album consists of unnecessary fillers that the band seemed to just have put that in effort to finish the album as soon as possible.

However, they may be a copy cat band but they're good one and you must appreciate the fact that after all these years Jacoby hasn't lost his fire. The Nu Metal fad might have been a dreadful musical oxymoron (as much as I appreciate experimentation, some bands over did it) it did kill album fillers (listen to Linkin Park's Nu Metal albums) and greatly boosted physical sales (along with teen pop).

If there is an indisputable divine entity/entities (assume the possibility of polytheistic deities), whose existence is unquestionable and its abundance in numbers prevails to a global level and if this entity's promincence diminishes with time until eventually is overshadowed by a new theistic form of worship and is outlawed WHY THE F**K ISN'T THIS ENTITY PISSED OFF AND HOW FUCKING STUPID IS HUMANITY IF THIS CYCLE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. SOMEBODY PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT!!!!

All nursery forms of making an intellectual decision lead to the latter option... which is not good...for you, because thats what state I'm in right now >.> and frankly if you put a thought to it it is the more flexible possibility. I suppose it all bad luck that it's this side that wants to discuss it... makes you think about September 19th... haha well you know, I have no idea where you were, but the world (Stockholm actually) is small enough to relate to so many things...

I never really wanted to change anything concerning my side of life because it's obviously insignificant - "because I'm a guy" - and it has clearly become quite mandatory from the other side to always portray me as antagonistic for the sake of those who chide. Yes, I deliberately take pride in many of my assets, whether they are virtues or vices I typically look over depending on the circumstances (because non of them really seemed to be fixed anymore which is why I don't try to make anyone happy anymore and in return let them alienate me). I have in principle broken my one promise which I accept was foolish and was the one you mostly expected would be too unrealistic too keep. I'm not using this as a scapegoat, I am simply questioning your own side and why this is such a mutual paradox, maybe it's because I really can't like a human being, maybe I don't really ever feel anything and I must with mixed feelings admit how much more proof I find everyday in the support of the ever growing unorthodox theory that there is no such thing as sustainable affection... I don't want anyone anymore and I'd rather be with someone that hates based on an ignorant assumption than someone that can't make up their mind. It amusing to see how much people have in common, I don't really know whom this is directed to, but I do know the end of this will not reach the light. It's funny how even the smallest shift can break everything and you won't even know it until one day when it's already too late.
I'm not trying to prove anything. When I did I was put down by all my "friends" and in the end I had no choice, it was even surreal , probably because I didn't know I had to be able to deal with that kind of issues. It was a completely mutual matter, the entire foundation of the Lucifer Paradox is based on the foundation that humans were given a choice and you're no different in this case than the angle that wanted all the glory, but clearly "Life's not fair" so I just should do what I'm told all the time, well I suppose it might have never occurred to any of you but I might not want to deal with your bullshit opinions, have you lecture me and then witness you in your most pitiful state and continue living tomorrow as if nothing had happened.

You all disgust me.

IF under any circumstances you cogitate however scarcely that the title of this piece is a praise for the ever so illustrious "romantic vampire saga" then i suggest you take a bread knife and fucking Chelsea smile your pretty little muggle face. OR you could manually remove your spinal cord and shove it up your ass!

It's difficult to fully express exactly how my resentment for the series makes me want to burn all concrete records of its existence (the antonymous in the sense of its physical state is ambiguous within the simplicity of this particular case)

I would want to make this about Jesus or simply keep blabbing about how much I HATE THESE STUPID GODFORSAKEN BOOKS@@@@@@GT_E( 9^y5IEne but... some friends are coming over and we're going to put a spider and a bee in a jar and play some slipknot in the background (for more info go to kaiscolosseum.com haha jk XD) but yes because time is preventing me from making this the not so anticipated but most likely prosperous successor to Chinese Democracy so I'll just write another skillet song *fuck this is going to be generic* gah... ok fine ill make it acoustic

Ok so first let me begin by saying WHY THE FUCK ARE THERE SO MANY ADJECTIVES IN THE FUCKING NOVELS...@@@&& YES I realize you're trying to amplify the dude's orgasmic beauty but then you are not only diminishing the quality of the writing style but you are also deliberately alienating males from reading the books by emitting the more gay rays than the last big girl sensation > KNITTING < YES there I said it, there's less guy on this effing planet reading twilight than there are knitting HAH. Oh and not to mention that this alienation is A TOTAL FUCKING PARADOX because Stephenie Meyer is a Mormon and therefore totally fucking sexist in the latter of the two most commonly possible cogitative cases namely sexist towards women (well girls actually, because part from Renée who is about as significant as Bakura is in the first Yu Gi Oh Abriged Season, THERE ARE NO "WOMEN" IN THE SERIES! Although admittedly, there aren't many "guys" either I mean Billy's on a wheelchair and Charlie is just one of those really embarrassing middle aged men that remind you of a balding Robin Williams that never learned manners in preschool and there's basically Jacob who is left with the rest of the Quilete dudes to represent masculinity in the series which the would've pulled off properly if they weren't all sexually confused pre teens that run around naked holding hands... oh and ye theres Emmet who was sort of cool until was beaten at arm wrestling by BELLA I MEAN WTF isn't he supposed to be one of those high school jocks that has biceps the size of Tess' thighs, it's pathetic you can't cheat physical strength THAT much the only reason the Matrix got away with it is because they've got Keanu Reeves starring *dr00l* they've got the deep black guy that has hope in just about everything including the next High School Musical oh and because ALL THE ACTION THAT MAY ACTUALLY - ok that DOES - violate the laws of gravity takes place in a friggin Grand Theft Auto video game and too much preference of the human race, is in slow motion. Right back to how gay guys are in Twilight, yes part from Emmet there aren't really any characters a non androgen can really look up to or relate in some cases. There's Jasper who was supposed to have been a war veteran except that he looks like that obnoxious fjortis Swede that always takes really long to change for P.E and even if he can be cool sometimes his super special awesome powers - filler x gimmick x gayness much? - are so retarded and would've suited much better if Alice had them instead instead of making her a total tool in the series thus only featuring her in the saturated lemonade pages when she needs to make a prediction or monitor Bella's every move - eh human rights anyone? You see this is essentially a major issue with Twilight, Stephenie Meyer seems to be confused about the whole character distribution, in fact all potential any character might posses is typically taken away and crushed by her utterly clichéd and predictable plot twists, basically if you break down the basic structures into the four books you'll get something like this:

TWILIGHT - well it's the debut so you'd expect it to stand out because it always seems so easy to work on the roots, basically the whole this is extremely predictable, the writing is plain, the story is ok... except that it isn't really anything we haven't seen before and the fact that it took until 2008 (although it was originally released in 2005) for it to become the most sold book of the year - by which time it was (obviously) announced that Cedric Diggory would be portraying Edward Cullen (and YES although I read Twilight in 2006 I was truly hoping they would only loosely base it on this hideous excuse for a novel and end up killing the guy at the end because he was just so good at that gig) thus completely giving the dead series a new boost - did not astonish me. The success of the serious would had been quite dubious had it not been for the film (which was rushed into like all the books) because all four books had been released consecutively from 2005 to 2008 and were just sitting in bargain bins while the Death Hallows was making JK Rowling enough money to buy Canada and replenish the British Empire. Nevertheless, the series made its breakthrough and the fact that Twilight is a typical 80s high school chick flick with an attempt at an Anne Rice Flair for a flush of glamor DOES help but still doesn't quite stand up to the amount of fandom it would've rightfully received if there wouldn't have been a motion picture [after I was forced into reading Twilight by my friend Stacy, I didn't hear about it for about two years (I wasn't even aware that there were sequels) until I saw the movie's trailer] Lastly I should just say that what doesn't really help about this book that the stupid happy ending which resembles the hello kitty adventure island ending cut scene leaves the storyline independent of any sequel and many even alienate the last three books and that sucks because THEY'RE ALL A LOT BETTER (except maybe for Breaking Dawn, but it's a highly debatable subject because it would be like trying to decide whether a hermaphrodite child is more reprehensible than one born with one eye and no legs). YES I am quite aware of the current Sophomore curse crises we're all facing right now and I would maybe to a certain extent agree to banning the creation of all artistic sequels...but WHAT ABOUT SILENT HILL 2!!??? Not to mention that masterpieces such as HP, LotR and VC would simply look to hostile all squeezed behind one cover to the point where they might actually nto be commercially successful enough to experience ultimate epicness > Orcs + Freaky Elves + LUX AETERNAT x swords = Super Special Awesomeness, not to mention Stuart Townsend + Aliah x vampire sex + DEFTONES = Super Special Awesomeness times infinity. So this is why we can't completely forbid sequels because every now and then we get something out of them and the Twilight series is one of those examples.

Part 2 coming very soon...

When the last Harry Potter book came out and I was revived from being clinically dead for 14 hours due to waiting outside the science fiction bookstore for 6 consecutive months I read the beautifully layered lament of the most illusively beautiful saga since Darth Vader force choked Jesus Christ thus delaying the entire process of his stupid First Coming for about 15 billion fucking years so that  the stupid divine Protégé can't shave his chest in time to beat evolution at a pogo stick race, although subsequently it wouldn't have made a difference anyway because theism is just such a huge paradox within itself to begin and the 3 little piggies {all clichés aside, just consider emulation the latest trend (already)}  just can't play rock paper scissors fairly so that they may actually decide on who is going to represent their pathetic little team. This is evolution we're talking about OK. It's sad enough that they have messed up their stereotypical roles within children's (don't say card games don't say card games) CARD GAMES! (oh great -.-) ye ignore that.. *rewind*

It's sad enough that they have messed up their stereotypical roles within children's bedtime stories, (The Turtle and the Rabbit Run a Race much?) but probably sadder that theism is in fact a children's story and that the Bible, the Quran or any other religious text books are a pointless fusion of barbaric history and fairy tales...

Apparently there are rumors that I was on a quest to find the Holy Grail or something hence my alleged disappearance during the winter holidays. Truth is I'm an over bored misanthrope which really consumes the fun of it all, yet I don't find it to be of any cardinal significance. One person can't make a difference [(didn't think Control Factor (2003) was convincing enough eh? (personally I think they could've polished the ending a bit more - I mean you're living in a dystopian society still controlled by the Government - it might as well be on fire because it's potentially synonymous in how much it SUCKS, copperhead should have just spontaneously combusted instead of that retard scene that looks like the end of Independence Day honestly, they never should have made a sequel to The Exorcist)].

Anyway (for some reason) I'm not going to continue talking about this (even though I thoroughly enjoy it) so I'll just say go listen to my music -> www.myspace.com/kaicharriere <- or get raped by a werewolf ^^
