I hardly think all the new bands are worth the hype the press is giving them.
Most of them have good songs but are they really the future of rock ?
If they can't be original on their first albums, then when ?ok, Arcade Fire is awesome.

I'm still really liking "Silent Alarm" by Bloc Party. I think they've really tuned into something with that album.

"the future of rock"? Aw man...c'mon...you must be a writer for Spin or something...

I love it when Rollingstone says that ____ "are the saviours of rock."
Fucking retards.
Oh, and ___ has been Green Day, No Doubt, other non-saviours.

rock is not entirely equal to music... there are upper limits on how original you can make so-many combos of guitars, wailing and drums..
..that's where computers, samplers, synths, wailing and plucking of individual blades of grass comes in.
I imagine that the scope for music is essentially infinite, even considering the self-referential nature of much of modern music..
..it's only rock and pop that have limits.. but then media and memory are very good at glossing over that fact.

I want to play lead wailing. Where can I learn that?

you can't learn it - it comes from deep in the soul....

Rock doesn't need saviors. It needs all the shitty wannabe indie and punkie bands to jump off bridges.

so let me ask you, what is originality? please define it for me and while you're at it, please define artform and creativity.

for me, the lyrical content gets me more then anything.
maybe linkin park is really cool. i honestly don't care. not when all of their songs are about how no one understands them, especially not their mothers.
in conclusion, this is what i'm tired of...bands that do absolutely nothing but whine...

i think arcade fire is boring. their are plenty of new bands that are original, it is just harder to find them. sometimes, the best music comes from those who are trying to reinvent the wheel (if ya know what i mean). either way i say you fellas check out swami records, or possibly the new stephen malkmus album. that is all.
