Saosin – “Saosin EP”

It’s high time the screamo thing was done with. I am sick and tired of bands playing recycled Iron Maiden riffs while some guy sings all quietly and melodically, then starts screaming at the top of his lungs. It’s old hat, and there’s nothing that can really be done with the genre at some point.

Saosin isn’t helping the genre any, either. When you’re playing a style where deviation from the norm loses you fans, it’s hard to stand out. This band appears to be from California, and is the epitome of boring. Add in an acoustic track to round out the expected, and I’m already on my way to trade this in for some credit at the record store.
