I have yet to hear a (hed) pe album that I can listen all the way through on. They have some really good shit but every couple of songs Jahred tries to rap or just make weird ass sounds for no fucking reason. I feel the same way about them as I do with KMK. They’re a solid opener but that’s it. As far as their longevity, I’m sure they’ll be around for awhile but so far removed from what they were that they might as well have a different name. 

The Clue fucking sucks and the way Jahred has handled it makes me like him even less than what I already did but dude use to be able to fucking shred on keyboard. Ignoring the fact that it sounds like terrible 80’s music (redundant), his skills were legit on that thing. 

Hahaha he can dance his ass off to in the video. I thought the song was catchy but yah it wasn’t like Prince or Rick James was gonna sign the clue after seeing that performance. They way Jared reacted to those hecklers at last years gathering shows that he can’t shake that shit off. Why not just embrace it and play a riff from the song. Im sure the “Clumitee” would have been happy and it would of just been a funny laugh for those in the know. Instead he jumped into the crowd for a fight. Then all night he kept bitching about it. The set was still good though but he let them get the best of him. Besides, he has played the gathering before. He knows the crowd. Why let it get the best of you. It they aren’t on another tour in July and don’t get booked for the gathering then I guess we know why. 

I think they keep the hed name because it still is a name people remember. It like a brand name of a product that has been bought by an overseas company, made elsewhere, but still has the same label people know. I like what they were trying to do with the last album but it didn’t really have any of the hed roots. Say what you want about their recent albums, they still had SOME ties to the old stuff. Evolution is good to listen to but it doesn’t feel like its a hed album. It would make sense if it was like jared in another group. Kinda like slipknot/stone sour tool/apc or mudvayne/hellyeah. I’m hoping that this style isn’t their new direction. I miss the lyrics of “vagaside” and “whos fuckin you”. Plus I like their little punk rock twist on songs. The last album didn’t have any of that.
