people... if you have the album.. enjoy them
they're fucking awesome
really
the biggest mistake i ever made when it came to "Grendel" was listening.. really listening to the lyrics
there was a definitive shift... maybe it was the first time they did drugs... maybe they were really just pre-pubescent boys... maybe i'm too hoity toity...
either way. there was a definitive shift in lyrics.. a shift more towards the club friendly.. a shift more towards the i just started fucking using tampons... because it is so goddamned juvenile that it makes me physically sick.. i can simultaneously puke and punch Grendel the fuck out
really.. motherfucking Imperative Reaction didn't disgust me so much.. in comparison... Imperative Reaction.. Informatik...and almost any other ebm group that started out harsh and progressed to more "club friendly" doesn't disgust me as much... Grendel did more than drop the ball musically.. they grew fucking pussies.. big.. floppy.. slimey.. motherfucking vaginas.. stupid fucking shit too....
the songs about drugs... fuck man.. fuck... fuck... how fucking old are these guys? 18? they can't be over 18.. i mean.. America is the home of the idiot... what are these over seas fuckers doing being so goddamned fucking dumb.. are we really so the same?
it isn't surprising though.. it is fucking sad in my opinion
i know the Grendel guys frequent side-line too.. and i know it is popular to give the big names a whole lot of shit... this diatribe isn't to gain acceptance from the other feebs that frequent this board... this post is to say.. WTf? to Grendel
i probably have no room to talk... i have at most 10% of the musical skill Grendel has.. beyond actual musical skill they have performance prowess.. there is really very little about Grendel i can talk shit about
but that being said.. buying their "latest" album... "latest" is now relative.. anyway.. when buying the last album I ever bought from them.. it was more than a disapointment.. it felt like being kicked in the nuts
i realize no band can stay the same and be happy in their stagnation.. unless they never had anything worthwhile to offer anyway
i really feel like Grendel is fucking talented.. really,... and I feel like they've willingly given up on their vision... for what?... a mediocre recogniton from the fucking peanut gallery?
but at the end of the day.. who fucking cares.. (i know i do.. but i'm the minority) they will continue to be successful because they have actual music talent.. but they will also remain unaccessable for me because of their lyrics
either way.. i thank them.. i have had years.. years.. of enjoyment from their music.. they have also used samples that I have yet to place to their respective movies.. they are just really fucking good...
maybe it is I who has a problem... maybe my vitriol towards Grendel is only indicative of my own self loathing.. maybe.. maybe.. people should just stop writing stupid fucking lyrics about cheap teenage thrills.. especially since i've been listening to you since I was a fucking teenager
