Brokencyde Reveal Themselves As The Heirs To Linkin Park’s Throne Of Teen Angst

brokeNCYDE – Booty Call Feat. E-40

I know that I’m far outside of their target demo–as evidenced by the title of their forthcoming album I’m Not A Fan… But The Kids Like It!–but I can’t help but be a little more than disappointed by the new single by the hilariously awfulsome crunk-core outfit Brokencyde. “Booty Call” is maybe the ultimate letdown, since it reveals the band as the second coming of Linkin Park, only with a dude making screamo noises instead of rapping and dimestore synths swapped in for awkward DJ scratches. I mean, slightly misogynist songs with lyrics about dropping panties to the floor and asses being stuffed with “chocolate milk” should not sound like they’re meant to soundtrack some kid staring at a ceiling while wishing that it would be set afire by the sheer power of hatred for his suburban upbringing!

    Out of tune even with Autotune.
  • A couple thoughts:

    - Wow, the Warped Tour kids want to get laid, too.
    - It's like the divergent threads of late 90's post-grunge rock (nu-metal and emo) finally met again on the other side, only they took the transporter machine from The Fly to get there...with un-sexy results.
  • @TedStriker: there's an ulterior motive behind all those FREE HUGS shirts!

    the continued existence of this band as a going concern is depressing. Makes you want to hang yourself with a curtain cord.

    I don't think the Linkin Park comparison is fair (I know it's not so much as musical comparison as much as execution and overall gimmick). Linkin Park has never been as mook-intense as some of nu metals other torch-bearers (Limp Bizkit, Godsmack, etc.) I'd put Brokencyde along the lines of an ICP (just without the clown makeup) in that nobody above the age of 18-19 can really find ANY redeeming values about them.
  • Someone online told me that I might like this band because I like Hadouken!

    Brokencyde sound nothing like Hadouken! and are probably the worst band i've heard in 10 years - worse than Tokio Hotel, even.
