New Kings of Leon album out in October Although the release I'm looking forward to most is A THOUSAND SUNS by LINKIN PARK <3

From what i have heard, it is more Electro then Nu Metal. Hope i am wrong though loved there last couple of albums, My December is awesome! Don't like New Divide though.

New Divide is one of my favourite songs by them Hybrid Theory is their best album by some distance. I lot of people slate Minutes to Midnight but I like the feel of it; it's more melodic. A Thousand Suns is a little more electronica-based, but its infused with Hybrid Theory's nu-metal as well. Here's an example - their newest song; Wretches and Kings:

I gotta say Alex, that song is a cross between metal and hip-hop! In my honest opinion, they don't work well together but that song's alright!

Well I was on about the music rather than the singing, which is hip hop and reggae XD

Gentle Giant are the pinnacle of creative.

Back again, and with a more longer list of bands that i had rediscovered. One that i have grown to love is Revis, who was a big hit in the US for awhile before being released from the contract, it was a merger of record labels and unfortunately they were one of the few unlucky artists who had to wonder the life of being unsigned. The broke up soon after but are back with two new albums coming out soon, only made so far but it was awesome!

Example of Revis:

Had a hit with a song from the DareDevil soundtrack called Caught in the Rain, but the whole 'Places for Breathing' album is brilliant and can't wait for their new stuff.

Another band is Allele, a band i originally discovered from an SmackDown VS RAW game with a song called 'Stitches', but i got listening to their only album (releasing a new one next year) 'Point of Origin' and it has become one of my favourites. Too bad they did a Revis, because just like them they had success in the US and was highly praised by critics.

Example of Allele:

The lead guitarist is from Cold, who are another brilliant band!

Another double of great bands is ANew Revolution and Unloco, who are both the same vocalist and i think lead guitairst from both bands. Unloco has released two albums, but i have the second one only (since it was meant to be the best out of the two) called 'Rise' which is acoustic rock ie goes from an acoustic start to hard rock, vocalist is fucking awesome. ANew Revloution has released only one album thus far, and is self entitled, it has a more harder sound to it then Rise, but it is basically the same kind of sound. Both brilliant!

Examples of both Unloco and ANew Revolution:

Surely have nothing on Gay Bar by Electric Six.

[chrismada9 1,948]

hahaha oh dear Alex

the song as a whole, bar the lyrics, is pretty good though

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I think its a great song and the video is possibly the funniest rock music video in years.
