I always found it funny how this was released on Christmas day. One of the most aggressively stated raps I've ever heard. Also: You can't forget this one every christmas. I remember buying the single during the campaign. Was so funny when RATM made number one.
Man, never thought I'd see SKSK in here! I remember a co-worker at an old job told me about them in passing, and I was hooked on 'Holding On' for quite a while.
DGD's new live studio album is sooo good. I love Jonny Craig's voice on the original, but Tilian totally owns this in his own way, and Jon Mess' screams are incredible all these years later.
There was something about them that executed that sort of emo post-hardcore sound perfectly. That album was so good. I was surprised when I found out their lead singer OD'd a few years back. It's just how they didn't continue making music, I think, that made them so good. I managed to convince my friend a few weeks back that Degenerates surpasses Holding On upon him appreciating the ending.
Oh definitely, the ending of that song is rad man. In terms of post-hardcore emo, I was always partial to Chiodos. They're from my state so I kinda' have to be.
