Okay, ordinarily I would see no point in posting a review as poor as this--if it were well-crafted and made a good argument, I'd have no issues with it...but this one is pretty crappy on many levels. Basically, it's here so that you can follow the link and give a low rating to the article.

Ima Robot Sucks
Posted on Monday, March 29 @ 09:16:22 CST by craig

(Deezo Feezo wrote this commentary. Normally, I am going to be standing behind the writers at this site, but with Deezo, it is just too much liability.)
So is this where "rock" music has evolved? Ima Robot sounds like they were probably named by a 9 year old kid with A.D.D., rocking out to poptronic grooves reminiscent of the late 70's to early 80's. Didn't Abba already happen? What is with the name, "Ima Robot?" If naming your band took less than 2 minutes, chances are you suck.

I have a few ideas here for new band names. Keep in mind that they are all names I gave to Marine recruiters when I was in high school, because back then I thought funny names were "bitchin"! I think we need a hip hop group named "Howie Feldersnatch". They should do some kind of rap fusion with a heavy metal group called "Jack Mehoff". They could even do a joint album together called "Jackin' the Snatch" I'll volunteer to do the cover art with my Etch a Sketch.

In all seriousness though, what does it take to get signed these days? These robot guys have a stupid gimmick and they don't play real instruments. Synthesisers haven't been cool since the Billy Joel's "Storm Front" album. I am all for giving props to your roots, but not if your roots suck! Kid Rock worshipping Bob Seger & The Rolling Stones is a bit predictable, because every musician seems to be contractually obligated to like at least one song from both of those artists, but please help me understand paying tribute to the late 70's.

With this same rationale, it is only going to be a matter of time until we have somebody paying homage to Vanilla Ice, who was actually paying homage to "Donovan," now that I think about it. Maybe everyone should stop worrying about making music that is reminiscent of some time period, and just work on being creative and innovative. Don't get me wrong, I am not talking about coming out with an album that incorporates Stomp with Yodeling or anything, but at least try to be a bit edgy. If you always live in the middle of the envelope, you only have so long until you're sealed up and mailed away!

It's a bummer we couldn't rate it a 0..

That’s ok He has no idea what he's talking about.
man Ima Robot is one of the best band names I have ever heard.
He’s just jealous, really

And Ima gets all these references to 70's and 80's? no. All bands are influenced by the past music. I dear him to name a band that wasn't influenced by a band from the 70's or 80's.
Plus I don't even see how you can't see the originality of the band.
every good band gets bashed a lot, that’s the writers jobs.
He has no idea what he's talking about so I don't really care.

ANYWAY
I agree with you Drac on all points
Man this is a very lame one isn’t it

time to go vote
on 0, what the ? oh well, 1 it is then
