Pendulum are utterly, completely, absolutely shite on more levels than I dare to even imagine. They have bastardised a once decent genre (jungle/dnb) and watered it down so that indie snobs and part-time "electronica" fans (read: prodigy/chem fans) can handle it. I was looking on the Pendulum last.fm page and clicked the profiles of some of the listeners on there. I love the fact they can say shit like "this is drum n bass how it should sound!" and have a top-artists list consisting of people like Blink 182, Feeder, My Chemical Romance etc.... I hate Pendulum. |

On behalf of australia I am deeply sorry about pendulum...it's like admitting to your partner that you have aids |

what bastardized stands for? we're just sick of listening dnb that's all, wait, no - we just keep on listening dnb made more than 10 years ago cos we have some memories linked to it, and cos it was fresh. that album, Timeless was named that way not by accident. without big sales albums or mtv videos we wouldn't have discovered dnb, unsless one is the king of the underground, and i would say that now it has way more standards than in the 90s, it has refined, it's more pure than bastard. i don't like pendulum, but i don't mind them to spread the genre outside my world. |

If you seriously think that dnb today is better than it was back in 93-95, then I worry about you sir. I used to think Aphrodite was king of the wanky jungle formula, but even he has 100x more skill than Pendulum. Mass media had nothing to do with jungle in the first place. It always was an underground genre. MTV and the myriad of other crap journals like NME do as they always have - see a promising new style of music, proclaim it the best thing ever, then idiots who couldn't run a successful rock band get a hold of it and filter out everything that made it good in the first place. I look back at albums like Timeless, Black Secret Technology, Modus Operandi, Remarcs Unreleased Dubs etc... they still have 100x more ideas than anything Pendulum could make. That isn't to say all dnb is bad these days. I love Fanu and Martyns releases. But still, the genre as a whole is pretty tired unfortunately. |

thats a good point of view, thanks for the explanation. still i believe that mass media serves as vehicle for the people to know that something is happening in some part of the word, be it good or not - the underground wouldn't exist without a mainstream where the underground legend is told. its too bad listening to pendulum music, but imagine a folk in the other side of the world that doesn't know wtf dnb is and saying hey i like these drums. the fact that mtv now plays pendulum instead of fanu is for the money for sure, because they know many people WILL like it. hopefully some of them won't buy pendulum's album but connect to the internet and discover fanu, that's why i think it's not that bad. |

Sure. I have no problem with artists getting decent promotion, especially if it gives good coverage of what the scene/genre is about. The internet is both a gift and a curse for the average producer funnily enough - it gives them much more opportunity for their music to be heard, but they're competiting with every other producer out there struggling for their piece of the internet pie. It kind of reaches a saturation point. My main problem is when mediocre artists like Pendulum get popular with the masses and are then namechecked as THE sound of dnb when in reality, infinitely more definitive music from the genre was made 10 years previous by artists who get about 1/100th of the medias attention. It is basically a slap in the face for the people who carved the sound in the first place. |

no i don't think it's a slap in the face, on the contrary it legitimates what they were doing cos it was really good, and make the people appreciate their work way more, perhaps more now than 10 years ago. pendulum et al be useful to make one curious and go deep into something.. the music it's not about the money you make nor the attention you get, and i think the old skool producer might not be a superstar but for sure they have a special place into a few people hearts. ain't that true undergound? |

One or two pendulum tracks are alright. I've been out in a "normal" friday night dancefloor and they drop a pendulum track instead of some gay hip hop rnb shizzle and they place seems much more energetic and fun. However if you listen to it side by side with say, the Torque album you realise how shite it really is. So in conclusion, it seems good compared to wanky dancefloor musics but it seems crap compared to decent drum and bass. If it's classed as pop music then I've heard much worse pop music. So I dunno. Pendulum will never be as good as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNT7uZf7lew |

I have no problem with it whatsoever. Good stuff. He doesn't have a million different ideas, but he's refined his style pretty slick. There's a level of pop perfection on this new track as well. |

your "he" is in reality a "they." actually, from what i hear about their coachella set, they now play with a full band - live guitar, bass, synth, even drums! fucking epic is all ive heard from people. |
