      I love how bands like these take themselves so seriously, they’re not fooling anyone.

      There’s no mystique dark enough to cover up the fact that these guys straight up suck.

    • I vowed to take one for the team and listen to this thing to let everyone know how it is.

      Then I heard the timing in the first song. For as good as the production sounds (pretty damn good) this band can’t even seem to get nu-metal down. It really sounds like this was a bad take, there’s two spots that seem like “fuck ups” if my ears are right.

      Oh well. I give up. Sorry guys.

        I saw those dudes play a Bar Mitzvah in Poughkeepsie last May. Even though their set was ended prematurely by the Rabbi for sucking, they did a mean cover of ‘Sk8er Boi’ by Avril Lavigne.

      I’d say something uplifting like, “come on guys; they’re trying!” But i don’t think they are really even trying. I would be interested to see, however, audition footage of all the lead singers who didn’t make the cut. To be honest, I wasn’t really taking these guys seriously until I saw their jet black contact lenses. Now I know they’re the real deal.

    • OMFG Xmas came early this year!!! Thanks Wook!! I’m streaming it right now and I’m blown away at how much this sucks lol. This is 12yrs too late. They could have had something going when Disturbed was supporting their 1st record but this sounds like something that came out of a time capsule. This totally belongs at Gathering of the Juggalos. Can’t wait to see if they’re on the 2013 line-up.

      Wook PLEASE break it down for us in a review!!!! Right now I’m on The Police cover (track 4) and I can’t go much longer. The solos are just mindless, somewhat shredding with no real thought put into it…..OMG I think I’m gonna die. This is sooooooo generic.

      The funny thing is that this band struck a nerve to all these posters enough that they had to leave a comment. When a band is bad, you just move on & don’t give them the time of day to even comment. This tells me only one thing. Sunflower Dead is gonna be huge! Bands that have this many haters & lovers get noticed. example: Slipknot, Nickelback etc etc….. Congrats guys on your soon to be big success! :)

        Actually, if I didn’t have to look at their ugly mugs everytime I logged onto ThePRP this week, I would have never given them a second thought. And neither would anyone else.

        I still haven’t heard a single note of their music and I already know they suck.

Pretty much every band has haters. Pick your favorite band for instance & go on youtube & I’ll bet you see all kinds of hate going on. Bands can’t please everyone. Like what you like & move on…

      Only review from Amazon -

      I absolutely recommend this to others into metal, rock, and heavy music.

      It’s been a long time since I’ve heard what I consider “good music”. From all the cookie cutter pop, weak rock/metal you hear today, I found myself listening to older metal and rock. This album changes that. It breathes new life into my play list and hope for the rock/metal scene. Sunflower Dead is full of hooks and is in your face.
      It drives right at you from the first note of “Make Me Drown”.
      “Wasted” bekons to driving old school metal with a groove that gets your body going that you can feel the pit around you.
      “Ghosts” takes you on a dark powerful journey with it’s low end crunch and emotion filled vocals.
      What can be said about “Every Breath You Take”? Finally, the way it should be delivered. You feel like you are being stalked and watched. The creep factor intensifies at the 2:30 mark.
      The bass effects and vocals pull you in on “Hand That Beats You” setting you up for the punch in the face (and gut) scream. Heavy, just heavy.
      Sunflower Dead keeps you grooving with “Echoes”
      They change the pace and slow it down for “Starting Over Again”. Filled with emotion, and chilling piano… culminating to an intense end.
      You get picked right back up and beat down with “More Than A Habit”. The accordion fills the background with an eeriness that sends chills combined with the intense vocals.
      “Halo” and “Denial” begin to round out a well put together album bringing you to the closer (and my favorite) “Point Of Decision”. I cannot put “Point Of Decision” into words. You have to listen to it for yourself. For me, it was an emotional roller coaster ride that left me feeling numb at the end and wanting more, not wanting it to be over. Repeat, yes.

      Michael, Jaboo, Jamie, Luis, and Jimmy bring it. Five excellent musicians putting it all together.

    • Guys, guys, guys.. I feel like you’re not factoring in all aspects of the band. Their homosexual zombie outfits should really give their terrible, borderline “This has to be a joke” music a pass. So pay no attention to their music and revel in the fact that they might put their weiners in your butt and eat your flesh at the same time.

          I called it by saying, “bad publicity is better than no publicity at all.” All of your “I’m important so my opinion really matters” comments have kept Sunflower Dead on The PRP’s Top Headlines List. What are you guys, 12yrs old? Cryin’ like a bunch of little bitches because a band got a little shout out on a web site? not everyone likes the same style/type of music. Get over it & go back to your one track minds of the same ol’ same ol’ music you listen to that has no variety. I’m sure these guys really don’t care what you think of them. I don’t think they’re bad & they already have a good sized fan base for a band that’s only been around for 1 year. :)

          As someone in advertising, I can say no, bad publicity is not better than no publicity. You see, your name (band/label/etc.) has equity to it – the more the equity drops, the less value there is in it. For example, look at the dude from Trustkill who fucked everyone over that tried to restart as Bullet Tooth – that went absolutely nowhere because sites such as ThePRP put his bullshit antics on blast. BP seriously considered changing their name and spinning off their gas business due to all of the negative equity after the oil rig explosion, but they threw enough money at the clean-up and a PR campaign that people don’t even think twice about it today. Very few companies have that kind of money.

          This would also be akin to the mentality that a political attack ad is good for the opponent because it gets their name out there and gives them face time. It doesn’t work like that.

          PS, I’m only giving wook pageviews and refuse to even click on that link, so I got two words for ya!

          @Adamonfire: So then tell when the last time Axl Rose bad press hurt him? I’m sure everyone on this site including myself has bashed Justin Bieber, but I don’t see it hurting his bank account. The truth behind “Bad publicity is better than no publicity” means people are talking about you. If nobody talks about you at all then you’re a nobody anyways & you’re not going to do shit. When people hear anything good or bad about a band, it sparks interest & people go see what all the noise is all about. Some people still won’t like it, but some people will, hence, the bad publicity got a band new fans. The only time someone worries about their equity is when their band is acting up & doing stupid things in the media that gives them a bad name. So far, Sunflower Dead haven’t done anything to jeopardise any equity. This bad publicity is just a bunch of knuckleheads saying “This band sucks”

          @Sexual Chocolate – yeah, because GnR tickets are selling like gangbusters, huh? If you were to search out your local classic rock station and see what commentators say every time they mention GnR you’ll see a ton of people saying that they will never see him live again due to his rockstar antics. Justin Beiber doesn’t get bad press – he gets press. Learn the difference.

    • LOOOOOVVVEEEE YOU ALLL!!! Let me explain the law of averages to a few of you. More comments equal more views of this story, equal more people paying attention and checking out for themselves. So if there’s 15 to 20 of you out there slagging on the band or me, we really don’t take it personally. We have a good laugh and continue about our day, knowing not everyone shares your viewpoint and that we actually have generated sales – and not just by the guitarists Mom or brother or whatever.

      When our first story got posted, along with the EPK – it generated about 434 views and 11 comments. This story has generated, currently 934 views and 106 comments…and it’s certainly no longer on the front page of the site. I can assure you it won’t be just 15 minutes…

      • Notice the low amount of views and high amount of comments. Most of these comments are very negative. That means the majority of these people that have looked at this article reacted negatively.

        But no, if you want me to talk shit so you can get famous Brokencyde-style, I will. High fives all around.

        If you really want to do this, you have to appeal to a younger fanbase. Younger people are stupid and will listen to anything a good friend will tell them to listen to. What does Brokencyde’s fanbase consist of? No one over 16. Kids want to hear about drinking and fucking bitches. You’re doing it all wrong!

          ethos must not know how to read. The views are high @ 940 & comments are low @ 109. Since all the hate is coming from the same 20 of you love birds, that’s technically only 20 haters out of 940 which means at least a good 850 viewers either liked the band or didn’t care enough to post anything, so you my friend are in the minority. :)

          @Ethos. How would I know what type of sales this ad generated for them? If you know anything about the business, you’d know that a bands management & publicist set up all types of stuff to advertise their bands on. Sometimes it doesn’t always necessarily go to the right places that fit the genre of the band to a tee. In the end I’m sure the band has got a little publicity off this site even if only 5 people liked the band out of everyone who has come to the site. Shit happens man. It’s part of the business. I just don’t get how you let it get under your skin so badly. It’s just a band trying to get out there and do something man. Just chill out. The world would be boring if we all like the same stuff.

          Why not? If you want to call it Nu-Metal, that means they are doing something that nobody is doing since Nu-Metal isn’t really around any more. Think of all the cookie monster bands out today that sound all the same. Why get thrown into that clusterfuck? Besides, I don’t even think Sunflower Dead sounds all that Nu-Metal. I hear some influences, but there were barely any melodic clean vocalists in Nu-Metal & there definitely wasn’t much double bass drumming in Nu-Metal or guitar solos so…….

      WOW!!! I haven’t seen anything like this since slipknot first came out! I can’t believe how much anger and hate this band has attracted, fucking crazy! I hate to say this and I’m sure you guys won’t like it but I bet my life that this band us going to blow up! I can’t say that I love this band either but I think there going to be a success and I’m saying this cause I’ve seen a couple bands get this reaction in the past and they ended up platnum on there first albums. Most of the people that go to this site would like bands like job for a cowboy or mastodon. This isn’t the best place for this band to advertise but they sure are pissing you all off by being here and that’s just straight up funny! If they just sucked, you guys would just pass them up and go to the next post but I think you guys are threatend by them cause you know there going to be huge. Lol, you guys are just fueling a bomb fire!!!

        But heres the thing: Slipknot was sold as a new generation of anger, and had a unique sound and appearance, love it or hate it. This band is in no way revolutionary. If it was, the people here would at least give them props for trying.

          My main point is that there’s a big difference when a band really sucks at music and when a bunch of haters spend a bunch of time hating on a band cause they don’t like them. If this new band sucked you wouldn’t waist your time leaving comments! You guys are just mad that they have arrived and there’s nothing you can do about it but spend your time in front of your computers and hate! You guys should all go outside and go for a bike ride or something, lol… your computer is clogging your brain! Between all the time you guys spend reading this site and watching Internet porn I can tell you have sad and lonely lives. Wipe the semen of your keyboards and go do something with your lives worth wild!

        Nice try, but if you were an actual member of the site and not a member of the band / label (and thus have been around for more than a week) you’d see the amount of attention posts about Crazy Town and Limp Bizkit get – and you’re right, all of their latest material is selling like hotcakes. This band will be absurdly lucky to get to 10k.
