A Day To Remember Release Pop Playlist On Spotify Called ‘You’re Welcome’

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

A Day to Remember have thrown a complete curveball within the music scene. Rather than releasing an album of original tunes, the band opted to release a playlist on Spotify. Playlists have become very popular. Many bands craft their tracks with Spotify playlists in mind. Securing a spot on a popular playlist can drastically increase monthly reviewers, play count, and other useful statistics within a band. A Day to Remember are once again trailblazing within their genre by cutting out the middle man and releasing a playlist themselves. The appropriately named playlist, ‘You’re Welcome’, compiles the most popular songs of the 2010s and throws them right back into the void.

What Songs Are Featured On The Playlist?

The playlist opens up with ‘Still Waiting’ by Sum 41. A great way to open up a fun summer playlist with some punk pop energy. The next couple of slots go to Imagine Dragons. I can see this becoming the soundtrack to any Dad’s commute to work. The fourth track on the playlist is an odd one. It is a match up of ‘Cursed’ by Gideon and ‘Better Now’ by Post Malone. Oddly enough it is actually really good. This fusion works and now I wish Post Malone would release a metalcore or hardcore record. The next song is a Tom Petty song called ‘F.Y.M’, and it is pretty catchy and fun. We don’t know what F.Y.M stands for, but I assume it is Fuck Your Mom. I can see Dads everywhere quitting their job and turning around after hearing this anti-job anthem. The next track is one for the pop fans. ‘Talk To Much’ by coin takes the sixth slot on the playlist. This chorus is catchy, and it almost sounds like three other existing songs.

The playlist continues in a similar vein to the previously established vibes. Additional appearances from Post Malone occur, as well as two Blink-182 tracks, and the closing track ‘Happy Ending’ by Avril Lavigne. The playlist isn’t bad, but after a five year wait, it seems that rehashing already exciting songs is a bit disappointing.

Why Did A Day To Remember Release A Playlist anyways?

The band is done making their own music it seems. Metalcore and pop punk are a young man’s game. The band is full of grown adults looking for real jobs. If the band wants to focus more on playlists and acting as a radio station, we can respect it. While the playlist wasn’t received well, I believe their is an audience for anything. Some reviewers even swear that the playlist just takes some time to grow on you. I look forward to hearing this playlist all over the radio.

Hypa Hypa Grammy

Hypa Hypa: The Biggest Grammy Snub In History

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Grammys do not come easy, especially for rock and metal bands. Every once and awhile there is a gem of a track that just screams Grammy material. 2020 was lucky enough to be blessed by such a track. Unfortunately the song was absent from the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. Critical and fan reception for Eskimo Callboy’s ‘Hypa Hypa’ was off the charts. The track was praised for its humor and fun music video, but the song isn’t just about the meme. You didn’t have to be a heavy metal fan to feel the contagious energy that can be found in the 80’s inspired track. The track had the advantage of showcasing a unique form of energy not seen at all throughout 2020.

The Hilarious Music Video For Hypa Hypa

The band brought the energy, the passion, the fun, and the attitude in this track. The song sounds good, and is an important demonstration of a vibe that could have been appreciated more over the course of the pandemic. While some people pee on Grammys, others just have them blatantly snubbed.

Why Does Hypa Hypa Deserve A Grammy?

Hypa Hypa is a timeless track. Listening to it now still brings the same enjoyment and positivity as the day it was released. The track is more than this a heavy song with some funny moments, it is a rare gem that truly shined during the darkest of times. The political and social climates were rough in 2020, especially during the 2nd half. The song released on June 19th, right before things got extra intense in the United States. While Eskimo Callboy are a German band, their comedic fun reached across the Atlantic Ocean and touched upon the hearts of Americans as well.

The cultural significance of Hypa Hypa cannot be ignored, even across other cultures. The track just hits every mark for Grammy material, and somehow it went ignored just because it wasn’t a mainstream genre of music. Some songs are worth opening your mind and taking it in despite the genre, and Hypa Hypa is one of them.

The Song Is Great, But Is It Really The BIGGEST Grammy Snub In History?

This snub is definitely the biggest in history. While there have been other regrettable snubs in the past, this one is unforgiveable. Slipknot and Korn lost during their prime, but went on to eventually win a Grammy anyways. Eskimo Callboy struck oil and hit gold with Hypa Hypa. There can never be another song like it, even if they (or someone else) try. The time in which the song released was a true test for the track itself. Releasing such a fun, positive, and high energy track during a downer of a time was a risk, and it paid off massively. The world needed to get hypa, and Eskimo Callboy made it happen.

What Do We Do About This? How Can We Make It Right?

If enough people reach out to the Grammys and shove Hypa Hypa down their throats, they might listen. History has never been rewritten when it comes to the Grammys, but this needs to be an exception. Hopefully the Grammys retcons the results of last year and awards Eskimo Callboy the Grammy. The backup plan would be that the people retcon the results themselves. If the whole world just declares Hypa Hypa the song of the year for 2020, it will retroactively become fact, whether the Grammys agrees or not. Perhaps someone should change the Wikipedia page and make this canon. Just kidding, we would never recommend anyone do such a thing…

Bring Me The Horizon Accused

Bring Me The Horizon Accused Of Stealing From Limp Bizkit AGAIN

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , 0

Bring Me The Horizon? More like Bring Me The Bizkit. The band cannot seem to stop stealing content from Limp Bizkit. This time Bring Me The Horizon is being accused of taking a vocal melody from Fred Durst. The song in question is called “Kingslayer”. The original vocal run from Limp Bizkit can be found in their renown hit “Rollin'”.

Why Is Bring Me The Horizon Being Accused Of Stealing From Limp Bizkit?

The new Bring Me The Horizon EP “POST HUMAN: SURVIVAL HORROR” released last weekend. We did a track-by-track review of the album. One thing we forgot to note was that the track “Kingslayer” has many similarities to Limp Bizkits “Rollin'”. While Kingslayer is very different in style than anything Limp Bizkit has ever done, the resemblance is there. While the delivery is very different, it seems that Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes has been listening to too much Limp Bizkit. Fans believe that the vocalist may have utilized one of Fred Durst’s vocal lines.

Kingslayer Vs. Rollin’

In Kingslayer, Vocalist Oli Sykes delivers the crushing lines “get the fuck up, wake the fuck up, wipe the system and back the fuck up. ” Upon reading the lyrics out as presented, it is almost guaranteed you read it in Fred Durst’s iconic voice. This is because fans have pointed out that this line sounds eerily similar to “Rollin'”. In the track, Fred Durst’s brutally spits out “So where the fuck you at punk? Shut the fuck up, and back the fuck up, before we fuck this track up“. The flow is nearly exactly the same. While Fred Durst masterfully raps the lines with an aggressive rasp, Bring Me The Horizon’s Oli Sykes death screams the line. The style is different, but the resemblance of the melody is uncanny. Check it our for yourself.

Limp Bizkit fans are not happy about the similarities found in “Kingslayer”. No one knows if the band was merely referencing Limp Bizkit, or trying to pass the vocal run off as one their own.

Fans have also pointed out that Kingslayer also features a breakdown. Limp Bizkit made breakdowns popular in the 90’s. Their smashing song “Breakstuff” features a brutal breakdown, which only adds to the similarities between Limp Bizkit and Bring Me The Horizon. Check out the breakdown below.

When Was The First Time Bring Me The Horizon Was Accused Of Stealing From Limp Bizkit?

Bring Me The Horizon had an eerily Limp Bizkitesque riff featured in their last album. Their album “AMO” featured the song “Wonderful Life”. The track is a bouncy nu-metal track and also second promotional single for the album. The whole track sounds like it was written for Limp Bizkit, and people noticed. One would think Bring Me The Horizon would avoid any chance of being compared to Limp Bizkit here on out, but supposedly they did not. You can check out the song below and listen for yourself whether or not you hear the influence of Limp Bizkit.
