[kj] Converge vs. Tragedy

[Leigh Newton]

I'll make up my own mind, thanks. 

Honestly, I could give a flying fuck if Converge ripped Tragedy or His Hero Is Gone or WHOEVER off left, right and centre. I think Converge are a totally decent band and their last few albums are pretty great. Not one of my favourites but a great band nonetheless.

Leigh & others,


Check out this "Tragedy vs. Converge" entry to see what i mean:

Also: Anyone who doesn't count Jay Reatard's "Blood Visions" LP in their 
Top 10 of 2006 is hardly worth considering, imho. But, anyway - Converge 
= bad Tragedy rip off. Just look at the reader comments to the post 
listed above. Tragedy are who Converge wish they could be.
