    Herman: "The solo's not loud enough, gonna re-record it"
    Sam: "Don't worry, I'll fix it for UA-cam"
    Also Sam: Doesn't fix it for UA-cam.
    Never change, Sam.

      @Ehiose Egbase their first album (Bullets, for short) has the most post-hardcore & slight emo influence.
      _Three Cheers_ has more punk. It's horror and maniacal
      _Black Parade_ has the alternative rock & 70s Bowie/Queen influence with a dash of Smashing Pumpkins
      _Danger Days_ , well, a hint of electronic elements and a lot of pop-rock with those 70s influences

      @@Cannibal_Actual Punk influence in their earlier work, notably their first two albums, but overall they're more of a modern alternative rock band. 2000s alt rock.
      People label them as emo due to their aesthetic back in 2004-2007 but they were always more emo-adjacent, as well as pop-punk adjacent, due to their contemporaries like Paramore, Panic!, the Used, Taking Back Sunday, etc.

    Could you Imagine a Pop Punk Power Metal Song? The lyrics will be like:
    (Epic Verse 1)
    Far across the mountains my Mom was calling me
    Flying over distant seas to the Prom where I will be
    Riding on a dragons back so all my friends can see
    My girlfriend will think I'm cool, Because I "Cry Thunder" with no retreat
    AND SHE SAID
    (Epic Course)
    FAR AWAYYYYY, Will you go till I count the days
    I count 182 blinks until you decide to "stay (together forever for the kids)"
    I said "Dammit" "All the Small" Things end in a Ground and Pound
