"Seriously? These guys have a record deal? Thats criminal. These guys make the Insane Clown Posse look like lyrical geniuses. All of their songs are about getting drunk or having sex. There is no substance to their "music" whatsoever. The first time I ever heard of these guys wasn't in a review or an ad, but from Kieth Buckley of Everytime I Die and he was bashing them. Then I heard about Buddy Nielsen from Senses Fail talking smack about them. After that I overheard some dude talking about how bad they are and that it was the worst music he had ever heard. Now its pretty sad if th only publicity a band gets is negative. I really can't understand how anyone could like this "band." The lyrics are terrible, the beats are just recycled Lil Jon and the screaming is more of an annoyance than an addition. Just looking at a picture of these guys makes me want to punch them in the face. Listeing to their music makes me want to go on an all out homicidal rage. The world would be a better place without this band."
If i could rate this 0 stars....

""******* horrendous" - Metal Edge
"A mockery to the world of music" - Trash Magazine
"A near-perfect snapshot of everything that's **** about this point in the culture" - British Commentator Warren Ellis
Nevermind what the critics say? It doesn't mater anyway scene kids, because anybody with two workable ears and taste can detect this music is vile ****. Brokencyde is the absolute nadir of music. There is not a shred of any musical worth in this terrible piece of garbage. The beats are hollow, lifeless, and dull, and the synths are 3rd rate knockoffs of 3rd rate disposable 80's synthpop band. The lyrics come from the mind of a thickheaded meathead. Even the title of the album isn't clever, as it is supposed to be a response to the negative critics. Can somebody even answer why this is supposed to even be a comeback? I don't think anybody with a brain can spot the logic (because there is none), but the "hip, ironic" (read: pretentious) scene kids probably think it's a profound statement. Yeah right.
As a matter of fact, why does this band even have four people? I laugh at the fact these guys need FOUR band members, especially considering how bad they are (some people call them the worst band ever recorded, and that's a fact). Seriously, what band gives credit for lights and fog machine? I also like the fact they have TWO vocalists, who do nothing else like it's a challenge to juggle the brainless lyrics and vocals while managing the simple, terrible music. Even if the two vocalists couldn't use either instruments beforehand, how hard is it to learn how to use synths and drum machines, especially when making music this bad? I could program the two instruments in my sleep and come up with something better.
Is Brokencyde the worst band I have ever heard? I'm going to say yes, because Soulja Boy sounds better, and I used to think Soulja Boy made the worst music of all time. The fact that they don't even deliver as mindless club music says quite a bit. I hate club music, for it's devoid of intellectual content and it's boring as watching paint dry, but even I can see why some people would turn off their brain and get some mild pleasure dancing to techno and the new (crappy) Black Eyed Peas single. Brokencyde doesn't even do a mediocre job of providing mild pleasure for the Id. That's pathetic. Terrible trash. The fine state of New Mexico should be shamed."
UUUUGGGHHH!!! This is proof that the apocalypse is starting

"Can someone please provide me with some golf pencils that I can stab my eardrums with? This makes "Crazy Town" look like The Beatles. IT'S THAT BAD!"
Crunkcore?

"What happens when you combine mind numbing crunk music that makes Lil jon look like genius, and cookie cutter screamo that's as weak as Hawthorne Height's screaming. You get BrokenCyde, quite possibly the worst band I have ever heard. Next to this, some of Soulja Boy's material doesn't sound so bad, . Really, crunkcore? I thought country rap was bad, but country rap doesn't sound so much like a bad idea compared to crunkcore. Pure agony to know somebody even greenlit something this wretched. _____ the music industry. May Brokencide burn in hell.
