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!

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

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.
