12.19.11 | Atomship is brilliant, but I wouldn't call it post grunge. Mothra definitely isn't.
Great list however. |

12.19.11 | I have 1-5. Tantric was my jam for awhile back in the day.
ALL YOU STUPID FUCKERS WALK AROUND ASTOUNDED, AND DROWNIN |

12.19.11 | BigHans, you are the MAN! Tantric's inclusion in this list was ALMOST entirely due to "Astounded". Possibly the best post-grunge song evaaarrr.
Whatsacow, I kind of agree about Atomship not being post-grunge, but they have the same sort of sludgy aesthetic that most of the bands in the genre use. They just did more cool stuff with it than anyone else. |

12.19.11 | Good list. Needs My Own Prison. |
SitarHero
12.19.11 | Sorry Gmork89, I honestly think Creed are overrated and overly derivative. Tantric almost got left off the list for the same reasons, but Whitener's guitar-playing (while technically inferior to Mark Tremonti's) and harmonization sets them apart. |
AsoTamaki
12.19.11 | 2-4 are amazing. Tantric is weak though. First two Creed albums are excellent, man. They don't get credit from people just because they had a few mega-hits.

12.19.11 | well-written, agree w/ most of this |

12.19.11 | 6 is an absolute beast....but not post-grunge |
greg84
12.19.11 | 1 is one of my favorite albums of all time, but it's not grunge or post-grunge. The same goes with 6... |

12.20.11 | Atomship is brilliant, but I wouldn't call it post grunge [2] |

12.20.11 | If you think Bogey Depot is bad, you should hear Degredation Trip Vol. 1 & 2. Jerry Cantrell is truly underrated. |
Cipieron
12.20.11 | i completely agree with what you wrote for 3 and 5 |
SitarHero
12.20.11 | Ha! As I qualified for albums 1 and 6, they're not grunge/post-grunge bands or albums per se, but they're definitely "grungy", IMO. |
Gmork89
12.21.11 | "Sorry Gmork89, I honestly think Creed are overrated"
Creed are overrated by people who know nothing about music, and severely underrated by people who do. |
KILL
12.21.11 | LMFAO |
Gmork89
12.21.11 | You know it's true KILL m/ |
KILL
12.21.11 | agreed |
Gmork89
12.21.11 | I'm trying to think of a way to clarify because I pretty much just accused myself of knowing nothing about music. |
SitarHero
12.27.11 | LMAO! What the heck just happened?! *scratches head* |
SitarHero
12.27.11 | My best guess Gmork89 is that you were trying to say that Creed is unfairly underrated, probably based on their popularity. That's fair I guess. I just don't think they were near good enough to merit as much attention . |
Gmork89
12.27.11 | Yes that is what I was saying haha, and I agree with you. I just meant people who only care about the top 40 think they are the greatest thing in the world (which they are not). And people who like a lot of different music and are usually fair think they are the worst band in the world (which they are not). |
Cipieron
12.27.11 | just threw on 5 last night. still love that album |
ohfoxxxycole
12.27.11 | props on 3
also props to aso for choosing that particular toadies album |
SitarHero
12.27.11 | Yeah, and it doesn't help that Alter Bridge might be a better band/more musician-approved.
Tantric is the shizz as long as you don't notice that they're playing the same song over and over. They're kinda like the DragonForce of grunge. :D |
Gmork89
12.27.11 | Ya AB is better in a lot of areas, and they get decent respect. And I actually listen to Tantric quite often, they are definitely better than average. |
Cipieron
12.27.11 | "Tantric is the shizz as long as you don't notice that they're playing the same song over and over. They're kinda like the DragonForce of grunge. :D"
Haha yeah, there are two songs on the s/t album that start with the exact same strumming/pattern.. it's a little embarassing.
I only have their first 2 albums, are the other two worth getting? When they added the violin player I was a little skeptic |
SitarHero
12.27.11 | Nope, it really isn't. They're practically Hugo Ferrera solo albums and are mostly crap. Even the distinctive T |
SitarHero
12.27.11 | [cont]...Tantric sound is missing. |

08.24.12 | 4 and 5 are not underrated they are just not good... |
Cipieron
08.24.12 | 4 and 5 are amazing, you are just a fuck face |
iambandersnatch
08.24.12 | Props for STP. They've never had a great record (and no, Core is not a great record) but if you look at all their songs throughout the discog they've had quite a few interesting/good songs. Silvergun Superman, Atlanta, Lady Picture Show are just a few that come to mind.. even Shangri-La-Dee-Da had a few pretty cool songs despite getting shitty ratings/reviews. Haven't heard their s/t yet.
and ofc props for jerry cantrell/atomship/days of the cock |
SitarHero
08.24.12 | @Rsetness9
I think they have quite distinctive sounds, which is saying something in the super-oversaturated post-grunge market.
@iambandersnatch
Exactly. Great singles, iffy records. |
