We Are Scientists think Rage Against The Machine are pretentious

New Yorkers say bands shouldn't get political

Unfortunately mel275, RATMs' music and politics pretty much go hand in hand so to negatively comment on being a political band is also a comment on their music. I would support any band if I thought they were trying to change opinion on torture or killing of innocent people. To not support that kind of political movement isn't human. I think it just shows We Are Scientists as supporters of the dictatorship known as Geroge Bush which is not somethng to be proud of (otherwise they would support RATMs opinions).

Thats why a boring, comedy band like We Are Scientists will never gain the same respect or sell as many records as the likes of RATM. Its major bands who need to be sharing political views because music is the most powerful median in the world and can reach the masses far more easily than politicians. I don't like RATM in terms of their music but my hat goes off to them for trying harder than jumped up little pricks with nothing intelligent to say. At least RATM fans can rest easy knowing that bands like We Are Scientists only make a few albums before people get bored of their bland bollox and forget about them 12 months later whilst RATM will still sting for years to come.
