Personally, I like good Metalcore, ATR, KSE, Shadows Fall, AILD, and find them to all have variety and enough gusto in their musi to keep me interested and enthralled. Personally I hope Howard stays in KSE, as he's an actual professionally trained singer and there really aren't enough of them going around in metal these days, also he's been the face of the band since they got big, so it would be a sound hange as well as a look change, could really affect the bands current rise..

Very well said. Everything in music, including breakdowns are done well by certian bands. It's the ones that overuse, or don't know how to use them properly that gives them a bad name among some people in the metal world. But don't expect those people to listen to logic like this. That would be too easy and those people have gotta be "cool" by acting like assholes and bitching about something all the fuckin time.
