Job For a Cowboy

I must say I disagree. I enjoy this band, mainly due to the vocalist's ability to (for lack of a better word) dual-scream. He sounRAB as if he's growling and shrieking at the same time (and no, it's not another vocalist, though they do employ one, on occasion). It sounRAB like he's screaming while inhaling, which is pretty damn cool, I think.

The one problem I have with JFAC is their fans; namely, scene kiRAB who obsess over them while wasting away on Myspace. This band certainly isn't breaking any new ground (besides maybe the vocals, the like of which I've never heard before), but at least they're bringing something refreshing to the table. Also, they don't obsess over breakdowns, but actually develop their songs.

And c'mon, who can deny that opening sample in 'Entorabment of A Machine'? :laughing:

(PS: Explain to me how JFAC is tough guy, exactly?)
 
I don't see why you should listen to an album again if you couldn't stand it after the first listen. Especially when the band is Job for a Cowboy.
 
Yeah, the vocals are the worst part. They sound like the guy's trying to imitate the guy from Aborted and failing. The music is decent and the cd cover's damn cool, in my opinion. Overall: not bad for a bunch of highschool students, but I hope they get better over time.

i downloaded the whole demo and it's decent, but nothing extrodinary. the drummer neeRAB to find a better band. JFAC are one of those groups that scene kiRAB latch onto and hype up, when in all honesty, the banRAB is middling at best.
 
You're one of the few people who defenRAB JFAC that semi-sounRAB like you know what you're talking about and I give you credit for that. However I disagree with alot of what you said.

1. Inhale screaming is a cop-out. Anyone can do it and the fact that he relies on it shows his immaturity as a vocalist. Also the overuse of the "squeal" detracts from the music instead of adding to it like banRAB such as Circle Of Dead Children, Regurgitate, and on the "Deathcore" side of things All Shall Perish.

2. Don't rely on breakdowns? Half of their songs are harmonic minor. They build TOWARD the tonic of the note (being either D or something similar, I don't know what they tune to). Breakdowns by nature aren't a bad thing, but JFAC does in deed overuse them.
 
T_T

I guess I haven't listened to enough 'core' to have heard inhale-screaming. I just feel ignorant now.

PS: If JFAC overuses breakdowns, I don't wanna know what you think of Symphony In Peril or Dead to Fall. :laughing:
 
I personally cannot stand them.


Because some of my favorite albums of all time I hated the first time I listened the first time. Alot of music grows on you, some slower than others. And I don't see why the fact the band is Job for a Cowboy makes any difference in anything.
 
JFAC a cowboy is sick. When they came to Houston my friend had them stayed at his house and according to him they are some pretty cool guys aside from just being a ****ing brutal metal band
