    Good 'ol Emo, especially Hardcore Emo:

    -Similar to punk vs. hardcore punk - faster, louder, harder, much more intense and single-minded. Most of these bands play extremely fast, and introduce the "chaos" concept to hardcore. This is extremely abrasive music, with vocals screamed at the physical limit of the vocal chords. The guitars are distorted to the point that notes and chords are hard to recognize - although often the guitarists don't even play notes, instead making piercing, staccato bursts of noise, squeals of deafening feedback, or a wash of strummed dissonance. The bass often has quite a bit of distortion as well, unlike straight emo. This is everything emo done more so - sometimes so totally over the top that the band 's songs are not even recognizable when performing live. Antioch Arrow, for instance, thrashed about so much on stage that they sounded less like a band than a giant amplified blender. After each song, they had to retune every string, and usually had knocked over a good fraction of their equipment. These shows tended also to be quite short for reasons of the band's physical endurance.

    You got hosed.

    Probably won't get anything back, either. Next time get the insurance and maybe tracking/confirmation.

    The BBB can't do much if companies lie to them.

    After 30 days, my NCAA 2003 stopped working so I sent it in to EA Sports for a replacement copy. It was before 90 days so I assumed I was going to get a free copy. I get a letter from EA stating that I owe them $15.

    So I contacted the BBB. Yesterday I got a letter from the BBB saying that EA Sports said there was a huge scratch on the disc.

    There is no way in HELL there was a scratch on the disc. I take care of my games. I should have taken a pic of the disc before I sent it in. Safe to say I'll never buy another game from EA.
