basically frank, youre criticizing the band for being unique. i infact like their screams if you cant understand them look them up. the singing can be whiny at times but honestly i dont really care and judge them based soley on one aspect of music. you also have no apparent view to the fact that people like dramatic music. Do you watch movies?.. because im pretty sure if i saw a movie with no drama/tradgedy id leave. people like heartbroken tales because maybe they can relate and not feel so alone. deatha and mutilation is apparently interesting if you have ever watched the news or primetime/dateline. with your article im questioning if you listen to music at all and if you do it must really suck.

Uhm, yeah alesana is amazing.

Judgmental people shouldn't even be reviewing. Grow a sense of tolerance and then come back. I don't poke fun on your polka.

um i def agree with evryone here.frank wat tha hell do u listn to? alesana speaks of emotion and tragic tales...point being,they r amazing! they are not mainstream like tha rest of tha crap u call musik.2 me,u r worthless and need to open up to their type of musik cuz u obviously dont know wat they scream or tlk about.

i agree with everyone, the matter o' fact version of your argument has no evidencial basis; all you are doing is givinG a biased verdicat based on your ear tolerance, which infact is nothing if you cant handle ALESANA. they are'nt screeching to the heavens, they have a distinct style that rivals any band out there. you want me to prove it, listen to all alesana songs till this date and try and put them under one genre, i did, its called ALESANA.
SO TAKE UR OPINION, ND SHOVE IT UP UR MAINSTREEM HOLE!

Wel first of all Ive never heard of Frank miller but ive DEFINENTLY heard of ALESANA. You have no right to critisize the unique styles of this band. Thier music is revoultionary. But some one who know nothing about true hardcore music would understand that(i.e.you). People who enjoy listening to alesana are listening to the album for the music not because they are going to write a review about it. I think your better off writing reviews on britney spears because you definently know nothing about Alesana.

Umm lets see, someones full of bull crap! their sound is amazing. alesana's amazing the end.

Angel claims Frank Miller has no right to "critisize" this band...and yet...he does. In fact, we all do. And I have the right to criticize you, Angel. I think you sound like a defensive teeny-bopper who needs a spell-check.
P.S. Hey Frank- how'd you get sucked back in?

Alesana is awesome! I don't know why you were the one to review them, but next time let's have someone with good taste in music review them.

If you have never heard of Alesana, and you are just relying on this pathetic excuse for a man's review of the band... go screw yourself. Because you obviously haven't lived until you have listened to Alesana. Their music is breathtakingly beautiful, moving, and deep. Not all of their songs are scremo either. "Early Mourning" and "The Third Temptation of Paris" consist of lovely ballats and harmonies. This band's songs help express every mood you could possibly be feeling. I promise you will not be disappointed.

There's no point in even really taking anything this guy says seriously. Frank Miller obviously just wants to criticize them in any way because he doesn't have the intelligence to understand that Alesana's albums have THEMES (In this case, Greek mythology), which is why they are tragic. Alesana is a great band, with great members, and great music. He obviously has no taste in music and can't understand the music of Alesana and their powerful lyrics. FYI, the lyrics are meant to be slightly depressing. It's part of what Alesana is, even though the members are the exact opposite. And listing what the band looks like doesn't even have anything to do with their music. Piece of advice for Frank Miller, get a life instead of criticizing people who actually have talent. VIVA LA ALESANA!!
