As The Day Breaks...|| Day Breaking News

Good morning fellow metal-heads and loyal readers!  I bring to you today news so spectacular and overwhelming, you might want to take a seat to read it.  That is, if for some reason you stand whilst at the computer.

I was doing the usual morning MySpace check and it would seem that... 1990’s pop sensation Hanson will be returning with a new album!  I completely forgot about them, but remembered clips from my youth of some indecipherable lyrics being sung while three beautiful girls roller bladed around on MTV.  But wait--after some digging, I realized that this latest development is actually a tragedy, because the three little girls grew up to be men, and the Hanson Brothers are not making a return.  They have in fact, been pumping out albums for the last decade in relative obscurity, and this next album is a fleeting attempt to re-up their previous success.  Sad stuff.

What has this got to do with metal you ask?  Well, absolutely nothing except it’s yet again a slow news day and I felt compelled to share.  Today’s headlines are being dominated by the death of Type O Negative's frontman, Peter Steele.  While it’s sad anytime someone in the community passes away, we have never made mention of Type O Negative on the site before, so right now, nor in this context, is the time to do so.  If you want to hear what every metal musician has commented on his untimely death, you can visit blabbermouth.

So basically you've discovered that the members of Hanson are male, and they are still together as a band, and a great musician has died but you have nothing to say about it. Awesome post.

BWA-HAHAHAAHA! Kizzle, are you fucking serious? I could name you a thousand bands who's second album wasn't an attempt to mach their previous success. What about all the bands that have absolutely no success from their first album? Are they all somehow trying to re-create that? You presume to give a commentary on Hanson and how they are a "perfectly acceptable" band on a metal website, where it was clearly a joke, then critique that same site for never having Type O featured? You cannot be serious! This site is not a venue for Type O style music, so what? Does that make them clueless, or maybe just interested in other acts?
- insert something witty here

Oh fuck off, Hanson is a perfectly acceptable band at this point. Yes, their early stuff was annoying. It was 13 years ago - get over it. I guess in your world they aren't allowed to continue their career just because they were popular with the teenybopper crowd in 1997? They've evolved as they've grown up, and have turned into a very capable act at this point. It's not surprising that a "writer" for a website no one has ever heard of is offering opinions on stuff he hasn't listened to, but here's my advice you're probably too dense to take - get a clue. "A fleeting attempt to match their previous success?" Name a fucking album by ANY band that wasn't an attempt to match their previous suceess? The quality of your "journalism" certainly fits this cheap dime-a-dozen website. The fact that you've "never mentioned Type O Negative" on a metal site before shows how clueless you are to begin with. In a genre where there are so many sound-alikes it's pathetic, overlooking a band that actually stood out is the only thing that's "sad."

Sad news, on both accounts.

 Not at all, we have just never made mention of them on the site and so I would rather mention it in passing than write a long R.I.P. piece and have it perceived as us attempting to capitalize on a very sad event turned giant news story.
