Since I'm too lazy to go through all that and some of this are from genres I really don't know much about, I'd like to know which ones are worth listening to and which albums are good to start with.
I also got After Forever, I don't really like them very much but I'm curious about Decipher and Remagine, what are those albums like? Are they better than the other ones? -

I went to Warped Tour yesterday (It Sucked!!!)
29 Jul 2008, 12:57 by deepfriedbrain
What a piece of shit corporate waste of a day... I was tabling for Anti Racist Action... something which every year is usually decently succesful at Warped Tour. This year went horrible for us, and I blame the quality of bands. I mean, the festival has always been corporate garbage, but other years there have been at least a handful of decent bands. I did not find one single band I enjoyed the whole day yesterday. The average age at the event was like 15... the amount of kids with their parents was ridiculous. The worst was there was a table accross from us making a PROFIT off of anti fascist t-shirts (many of the designs were actually stolen from us by this guy Tad, but that's another story). Lucky for me I didn't have to pay to get in, but by the end of the day, I felt like the assholes at Warped Tour should have payed ME!!!
By the end of the day, all I wanted was for ONE band to play fast so I could run around in a circle like an idiot for a few minutes. Just ONE band... isn't this supposed to be a "punk" festival??? Every band was hipster sing along crap... there was not one band that I would even label a "punk" band. Not to mention that, like I said before, the show was full of little kids. If your band can't seem to attract peers in your own age group, I think there's something horribly wrong with that. Of course, there were a few bands I was interested in seeing, like TSOL, the Vandals, and Agent Orange, but just my luck, they weren't on the bill for the day I was there!
When I wasn't at the table, I was at the Beer Garden, with the handful of other people who were actually over 21, hoping that I get loaded enough to where at least one of the bands would sound good... didn't work though! Also the only beer I had to choose from was pisswater bud... or overpriced pisswater heineken.
Also the fact that it was so corporate was mindblowing... the non-profit section where I was consisted of only one tent. The rest of the show was filled to the brim with corporate sponsors... of course Myspace was there (and I'm sure you can guess that it was FULL of stupid kids!!!). The whole show was sponsored by AT&T. I shook my head in disgust when I saw Against Me playing "baby, I'm an anarchist" infront of a giant banner that read "brought to you by AT&T." Can you say irony??
I tagged just about every band that was on the bill, hoping that one of these silly kids could explain to me what the appeal of this event was? I was never this lame in high school...

Undiscovered Bands That Need More Attention
22 Jul 2008, 11:34 by PatrickFMLP
Title says it all.
Ef - Atmospheric post rock from Sweden. Very soft and instrumental, lyrics are pretty rare. Final Touch / Hidden Agenda is a great song. Check em out if you're a fan of the softer types of post rock.
Hen:ge - More post rock, from Austria now. A bit heavier and darker then Ef, but uses not much lyrics too. They have a new album (apparently titled 'Ghost') coming out in the later half of the year.
Joe Langford - Similiar to Halo33, except does some of his own material - and it works great. You can download all of the stuff for free from his page.
Omega Code - If you're a fan of NIN, Tool, Isis or Opeth, then you'll love these guys. I'm surprised that they haven't got more coverage than they do, they're great for fans of industrial-melodic-progressive metal.
Combustion - Marcelo from the Omega Code on an electronic solo project. Good for fans of glitch/industrial music, I don't really listen to much of that music so I don't really know what's similiar.
Serenik - Pop punk/hard rock band from Sydney, Australia. Have one EP, one demo and a single all of which you can stream on their page, and the single is free to download. Goto their myspace to get the EP.

warped tour 2008
16 Jul 2008, 19:02 by prescribedpills
I wanted to see The Academy Is... and Greeley Estates but they played at 11:15 on the Main stage left and Hurley stage, respectively. warpedtour.com said that the show yesterday at Virginia Beach started at 12 noon. I also wanted to see Murs and The Audition, neither of which was actually there even though The Audition is allegedly playing the entire tour. All the bands I wanted to see were playing either one of the two main stages which were aptly named, "main stage left" and "main stage right." Now they're just getting lazy. Most of the bands I wanted to see were either bands I've already seen, bands that didn't show up, or bands that played before the show was even supposed to start. Next year better be rockin' to make up for this year's sad excuse of a "punk" show.
Bands I actually did get to see:
Jack's Mannequin
From First to Last
Street Dogs
The Dillinger Escape Plan
Every Time I Die
Gym Class Heroes
Cobra Starship
Relient K
Say Anything
Story of the Year
As I Lay Dying
Norma Jean
Reel Big Fish
Anberlin
Angels & Airwaves
Pennywise
I didn't like any band enough to buy any of their merch so I spent $25 on lemonade, shaved ice, and the Warped Tour compilation CD. As much as I love Motion City Soundtrack and wish they played last night because they're fucking fun as hell to see live, they're only playing California shows this year for the last 10 days of Warped Tour and they still made it onto the compilation CD.
Patrick and I just happened to stumble upon Jack's Mannequin playing live as we looked at the Warped Tour line up and set times right behind "main stage left" so we decided to stay. They sound a lot like Something Corporate, which is a good thing. A knock off, but still good. They sound a hell of a lot better live than their do in the studio. I've already seen From First to Last but I like them a lot so I decided that they were one of the better bands this year to see since this year. They played some songs from their first CD which made me happy because it's the only one of theirs I have.
I didn't really want to see the Street Dogs but Patrick loves them to death and they actually weren't bad at all. They were one of the only punk bands on the tour, which is sad because that's what Warped Tour started as and it's deteriorated to an underground hardcore scene music tour sponsored by MTV with its vapid commercialism bullshit. The Street Dogs said that there would be no Warped Tour without Ramones so they dedicated their entire set to The Ramones. They sound a little like Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys, especially when they sing their drinking songs. Patrick went to their tent directly after their set to meet them while I headed over to "main stage right" to see Dillinger Escape Plan. It was their last day on the tour, after only being on it for a week. But I was so happy I got see them. They were one of the reasons I wanted to go to the Virginia Beach show and not today at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland. But also because the Merriweather Post is a logistical nightmare. It looks like a jungle and there's no place to put any stages. My first Warped Tour was in 2006 at the Nissan Pavilion in Bristow Virginia and it was rockin'. I love Dillinger Escape Plan. They're one of the only hardcore bands that actually deserve to be on Warped Tour but they didn't play much of their older stuff because they have a new CD out. I wish they played for longer.
I didn't write down who played where at what times so I'm just going in order of how I remember. Every Time I Die was really good live. I've been waiting to see them forever. I love As I Lay Dying but they sound a lot better live. A lot of bands did. I know they don't sound like it and I still have a hard time believing it but they're a Christian Hardcore band, which seems to be trendy lately. I only got to see 20 minutes of their set because I thought Angels & Airwaves was starting at 7:30 but I decided to stay a few minutes longer anyway. I could've stayed for the entire set because Angels & Airwaves didn't start until 7:45. They played "My First Punk Song" which isn't even by Angels & Airwaves, it's by Box Car Racer, another one of Tom's bands. Tom was being his usual diva self and after only a couple songs where he thought he was Jesus or something, I left to find Patrick and wait for Pennywise, the last band of the night. They played for an hour, because they started the whole Warped Tour in 1995. I wonder if they were disappointed in this year's bands. The entire time, they were like, fuck this, fuck that, motherfuckers, let me see your fucking middle fingers, fuck authority, fuck the country, etc. These four bitches who should've been at some Nsync concert instead pushed me out of the way because they wanted to get a better view of the PUNX ROXORZ so I said "Excuse you" and they looked at me like I was crazy and said "excuse YOU" when they were the ones who pushed ME out of the way. Real punks are nice and pick each other up from the mosh pits and posers who think they're punk and think punks are mean to each other try to be mean and think it's cool. That kind of ruined my day. Which was only mediocre at that point.
I was kind of disappointed in Gym Class Heroes since I've seen them twice before and both times they either had Patrick Stump there singing his parts in Cupid's Chokehold and Clothes Off! or William Beckett from The Academy Is... filled in if Patrick wasn't there, like he wasn't at Warped Tour in 2006. But this time they just played the studio version and played live over Patrick's singing. It pissed me off but at least I got to hear his voice. They actually played Taxi Driver, the song with all the emo band names that tell a story, but they only played until "Fall Out" and then stopped. Bastards! They've never played that song live when I saw them before and this time they didn't play hardly any of it.
I love Cobra Starship, especially Vicky T because she's the raddest chick in rock 'n roll and she plays the keytar! She sang the female part with Plus 44 last year on the Honda Civic Tour. I hate how all the mindless teenies that got lost on the way to whatever boyband they were supposed to see LOVE Cobra Starship just for "Snakes On a Plane" and that's the only song by them they know. They have so many better songs, e.g. The Church of Hot Addiction.
Relient K didn't play all the songs I thought they would. I was kind of disappointed for Patrick when they didn't play College Kids because that's his favorite song by them. Matt did spit on a girl by accident and apologized profusely and gave her a towel and dedicated the next song to her. They also played a song about The Office, which is the worst show currently on TV but I called my parents and told them because they love that show for some reason. They were the only band who didn't plug their new CD or any merch to their audience (other than Angels & Airwaves, who called Virginia Beach "Virginia Biotch" and didn't talk to the audience the rest of their entire set.) I forgot what they called it, but they wanted us to stop by their merch tent and donate a dollar to build wells in Africa. One dollar will provide someone with enough water for an entire year, which I found a little funny since one bottle of water cost $4 yesterday.
I love ska but I was never a fan of Reel Big Fish,. When they played, they started off with a Metallica song. They, too, have a new CD out so they played too many new songs but they did play a couple old songs for the older fans. They called themselves masters of every genre of music, so they played their songs in different styles of music, from reggae to rock to punk to emo to death metal. They did that for about 15 minutes.
I've been waiting to see Say Anything for a while and even though all their songs sound the same, that's a good thing because all their songs are good. The only song anyone seemed to know though was "Wow, I Can Get Sexual, Too" which is a real shame because that's not their first song by any means.
I missed the beginning of Story of the Year's set because Patrick wanted to sit and eat Hawaiian shaved ice so I hope I didn't miss And the Hero Will Drown because that's my favorite song by them. They didn't play it from what I heard though so that made me sad. I didn't know they had a new CD out so I didn't recognize many of their songs but they were still good. They did play Until the Day I Die, which I guess every band is somewhat obligated to play their first hit.
Norma Jean played last year but not at my venue so I was super stoked when they actually WERE playing at Virginia Beach this year because they're on the whole tour. Not that that means anything because bands drop out all the time for all kinds of reasons without warning or explanation. They're one of the only good hardcore bands, like Dillinger Escape Plan. When Norma Jean started playing, about a dozen beach balls magically appeared in mid-air. They were one of the best bands with interacting with the audience. In fact, most of them were really good at that, except Angels & Airwaves who thought they were above talking to anyone. They promoted their new CD which comes out in August. I see a trend; you either have to have just had a new CD come out in the last 6 months or have one coming out in the next 6 weeks to be on Warped Tour, unless MTV finds you insanely attractive and overplays your music until everyone wants to rip their ears off if they ever hear your music again e.g. Paramore. Thank God I didn't have to deal with them this year.
I never liked Anberlin but they started playing and I was like, "who's this, they're good." I didn't recognize any of their songs until the last one: Paper Thin Hymn which is a decent song anyway and I was a little bit shocked and appalled because I've made it abundantly clear that they suck, but they're really really good live. I didn't even recognize them because they were so good. And far be it from me to deny credit where credit is due.
Some random object always appears from somewhere and is thrown about in the crowd. In 2006 it was condom balloons and this year it was rolls of toilet paper. And every year there's supposed to be some type of water fun, like last year was an inflatable waterslide and in 2006 it was water gun fights. This year was nothing. Assholes. 2006 was my first warped tour and it was kinda rainy most of the day but that made it nice and mild outside so I didn't get a sunburn and I didn't almost pass out from the oppressive heat. Now I'm comparing all of my warped tour experiences to 2006 at the Nissan Pavilion in Northern Virginia, and since they moved that show to the merriweather post pavilion in Maryland, the last two years we've had to go to Virginia beach where it was excruciatingly hot and sunny so I have no choice but to be disappointed since I still expect every year to be like 2006 where I had no frame of reference. But I'm still hoping next year will be better and I'll get to go back to the Nissan Pavilion. I was excited to see The Academy Is... because they were one of the first bands I saw in 2006 and that also happened to be the first time I saw them ever. But they played before the show was even supposed to start.
Probably the most exciting part of my day was when Patrick and I stopped in Norfolk for dinner and they were playing Fall Out Boy on the radio when we walked in, and then Panic! At the Disco, and My Chemical Romance all in a row! :) They played The Postal Service later, and Fall Out Boy again when we were leaving :D
I can't believe this is my third warped tour already. And it wasn't even that long ago when I went for the first time. I wonder if I'll be as nostalgic next year as I have been in the past. That makes me think of Across Five Aprils' "A Year from Now" but a year seems like an eternity but once it's gone, it happened too fast.
