Die Romantic- A Look At Aiden
by Dave

One Love (2007)

........wow.

Not only have Aiden decided to completely change their image with a much bigger dose of gay (its like they made a point to prove that they could be even gayer), but they've also decided to throw child abduction into the scheme of things. I didn't know grown men leading small children astray was considered hip. See! My initial hunch about keeping eight year old kids in their basement was correct! But wait, the video gets inexplicably even gayer as it progresses;

Arrrrgghh!?!?

What!? Where did that muscley oiled black dude come from!? Victory Records sure know how to market Aiden to me. Wow, how appealling, a big bald naked dude flexing at me. I can't wait to buy their album now. Meanwhile Wil pouts like a fish sucking mildew off the side of an aquarium. This isn't attractive you jackasses.

It should also be noted that the music's taken a completely different turn from their older stuff once again- this time Aiden seem intent to be writing mediocre Killers-esque disco bullshit to goad more money out of their unwitting demographic. How do they get away with this without the critical crucifying they so rightfully deserve? Oh well, lets see if the lyrics are half decent this time;

Quote:

A Demon, Your Ghost Eyes
Watching Me Run Through Our Lives
A Soft Look, In Silence
Misery Come And Find Out
Well Don't Try TO Stop Me
I'm Headed Straight To Hell Down
I Want You, I Need You Now

One Love, In Your Eyes Now, Look Afraid
Beyond human aid

Urrgh. What does this stuff MEAN!?! Tell me William. Please. Its killing me right now. I just can't penetrate your seemingly puerile lyrics! Where is Hell Down exactly? What does "Misery Come And Find Out" really mean? I need to know, seriously. That way maybe I'll find some relief in the notion that Aiden aren't making money out of this contemptable silage. And what is "Human Aid" exactly? Maybe Wil means "Humanade"?

Wil Francis from Aiden drinks HUMANADE!

Throw in a guest appearance by Myspace celebrity fruitcake Jeffree Star and you've got a gayer cocktail than a cocktail made of actual cocks. Arrrgh. I can't believe that this abomination actually saw the light of day without at least one person in Aiden HQ saying "wait a minute, this isn't cool, this is just fruity as hell." Human idiocy will never cease to amaze me.

Want a summation? Aiden are possibly the worst band I have ever heard, definetely the worst band I have ever looked at and probably the worst band I'll ever smell. Thats three senses offended by this band already. Stop encouraging this inept shit by buying into it, people. Please. You're ruining the music industry. If you see or hear anyone endorsing this kind of crap then do them a favour- slice off their ears with a broken Slayer CD and set them on fire. These kids need to stop being exposed to this kind of inane vomit before their brains turn into sawdust.

Boycott bullshit record companies like Victory Records and Fuelled By Ramen (a once respectable outfit) who are spoonfeeding you this snivelling crap. It should also be noted that whilst I mentioned buying CDs on a whim at the start of this article, I have never, ever, ever given a single penny to Aiden for their music. Some lines are there to be crossed, and some lines are there for a very good reason. Just remember that every time you give Aiden money, God sets another baby on fire. Until next time...
