E-Mail to 93X

Patrick@93X,

The song by Cold you played earlier today (has lyrics "...I didn't mean to be so cold...") was just awful. Anybody can mix together bass+drums+powerchorddistortionguitars, but when the lyrics are pussy+whiny+"I feel"+"I want"+"I need" it really puts a damper on the song. It turns an otherwise decent band into a rocked-up version of Dashboard Confessional; possibly the worst lyric writing of all time.
I believe the style of music (in it's unplugged, coffee-shop form) is called Emo for emotional, you probably know more about it than I do. There are bands that pull off Emo/Rock well (Outside by Staind, for example) and those who don't, and they are easy to pick out by counting the number of times they say "I" in the first ten seconds. Now that I have pointed it out to you, it will drive you nuts...

Sorry,
Conrad Zero
