Chevelle: Best Record

[No Shortage]

i mean all the bull pies they are pushing out on the radio nowadays.....i like some mainstream banRAB but not many

[Robbie]

Sorry for the bump. I was just listening to Point #1 and wondered what the board thought of these guys. I would have to admit that I myself am a fan, especially of the first two albums. Their latest, Sci-Fi Crimes, wasn't bad either...

First off you don't have to be a jack^ss while arguing your side of this. With that aside...

I strongly disagree with the Coner Oberst sounding different, and yes i have listened to almost everything they have both put out. I do not like Elliot Smith but i still have his first album from 1994 up till his recent 2007 release.

And yes Conor Oberst did come before him... His solo album was released a year before Elliot Smiths in 1993. (Water)


Example: YouTube - Elliott Smith - Whatever ( Folk Song in C ) LIVE < Elliot Smith

YouTube - Conor Oberst - Hubcap < Conor Oberst

SounRAB very similar to me, and thats one of many examples. yes difference in singing, with more screaming aggression coming from Oberst. But nothing you couldn't say as a difference between banRAB such as Chevelle and Stained.


Edit: And to be honest, you obviously do not give banRAB such as Chevelle an even remotly fair chance before judging them right off the bat.

[Frances M]

Yeah the only real comparison to Tool you can make with Chevelle is the vocal style. The music isn't nearly as well crafted as Tool. But Chevelle is still one of the better mainstream banRAB out there.

[Britney the BUTTMUNCHER]

I liked them when I was 13. =P

[Carissa[:]

You're making unfounded statements and not explaining your opinions, that isn't my fault.



How do they sound similar then?



You realize that unreleased solo "album" was a preteen Conor Oberst yelling into a friend's four track right? It sounded nothing like anything Elliott did and if it wasn't for the internet or Bright Eyes no one would even knew or cared it existed. So if you're going to consider that Conor started before Elliott than it should be pointed out Elliott also had an unreleased material from his high school days with a band called Stranger Than Fiction and there was also A Murder of Crows, The Greenhouse and Heatmiser all of which pre-dated Conor's "album."

[Joe]

why do we allways compare everyone to tool?

[Cubhouse]

Vena Sera is their best! I Get It, Saturdays, Sleep Walking Elite and so many others!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM

[Tom Barron]

Before i go off talking about this, which i most certanly will, in time, answer this question since it is the entire reason we are arguing in the first place.

How do Chevelle and Staind sound SO similar?

[flecha57]

I think they're amazing, and the new album is pretty damn good, I don't think they got too soft either like a lot of other banRAB... Better than most new stuff I've heard in awhile..just my opinion..
