You can't really compare DBS and FM because of their differences but...

[Anality]

Does DBS do a better job of being a rock artist or

Does FM do a better job of being a rap artist?

dead by sunrise is nothing special

wrong dead by sunrise is pretty special, but yeah fort minor is definitely better

[LPPRJKT4]

Fort Minor, no questions asked.

 

Dead By Sunrise is great don't get me wrong, but they kinda sold out to Warner whereas Mike made the entire album himself and had a REAL artist produce it. Nothing against Howard Benson personally, I love his work with MCR but he just didn't do DBS the justice I had expected.

exactly!

FM hands down.

 

Because of the amount of stuff Mike did for FM eg the mixtape then he had the website all the promotion which is all something that DBS doesnt have it stands tall. If DBS did have all that then I still think FM would come out ontop because it seemed to get a better reaction.

i like DBS most. its just an awesome band with a (of course) badass lead singer. FM is great too, but the hype wasnt that big and...maybe its just because i dont like "pure" rap.

Hype for Fm was significantly larger than DBS.

[tschenneck]

yeah? oh sry, thought wrong

[ChuckCheese]

FM have definitely done a better job overall.....but I mean, it's really just all opinion, and your taste.

Fort Minor all the way.

[LPPhan2005]

Thoughts on both.

 

 

FM: On the two LP albums leading up to TRT, there was one song per album that was mostly rap (HV remix and Nobody's Listening). People wanted to see what hip-hop talents Mike could bring to the table and Mike was anxious to do so. So he put out TRT and the singles that followed got a lot of play and appreciation.

 

DBS: Everyone knows Chester and his vocal talents. The hype and demand came from Chester talking about all these songs he wrote in 2005. Once JK hit the scene and it was revealed that Chester's project isn't a solo act but a band collaboration, that built the hype up more. After the various Club Tattoo gigs that followed, the hype grew more and more. After everything that led up to the release of OOA and OOA finally dropped, it was met with a mixed reception and a job poorly done by the label and management. Because of all this, fans wrote off DBS and have now fixed their attention to LP #4.

 

Verdict: Both are great in their own ways, despite how OOA was putting Talinda on a pedestal.

I can see the reative side to Dead By Sunrise however to me it sounds overall very boring. I think the reason I like Fort Minor a lot more is because it manages to hold my interest a lot more then Dead By Sunrise.

The thing is, it's that same thing that makes me look at Hybrid Theory and Meteora as good efforts and Minutes to Midnight as a work of art.
