One of the best posts so far, love the bolded and simply haven't heard the unbolded. And I can mostly agree with the overrated, though I wouldn't say State Faults is overrated, I just don't really care for them one way or another.

maybe that's a joke... but seriously why don't i ever see for want of mentioned more? that 7"/tape and the CDr are pretty fucking awesome. pretty tight live as well.

with all that said i guess i'll put them in my very own underrated folder thing in my brain.

the new (unreleased) For Want Of album, "Smoke", is one of the best screamy hardcore albums I've heard in a long, long time

underrated: brain fever, republic of dreams, alaskan, necklacing, lord snow

overrated: seriously most new screamo bands i've heard that are doing the melodic thing: wave bands, but also all the bands that sound like wave bands but claim they don't. also any band that has used grunge to describe themselves within the past two years. wtf? hum is the only band ever and you will die alone
