On the entertainment front: Chad's tone is so flat. The guitars are monotonous. The bass line singular. The drumming predictable. There is nothing dynamic about it. How is it even entertaining? I just don't get it. There are no hooks because all of their stuff is so dissonant sounding. I don't get it.
