As I've mentioned before I'm pretty sure Do You Wish That You Loved Me is the dude singing to himself about how he can't love himself

Tbh kinda waiting for new TesseracT to blow this out of the water. "Natural Disaster" from the live videos sounds so good.

A man has to be what he is, Potsy. Can't break the mold. I tried it and it didn't work for me.

Another 2000 comment Sputnik thread where the overall theme is "You're allowed to like things and dislike things, and you should also allow others to like things and dislike things without assuming it has some sort of agenda."



100+ page Sput threads never disappoint.

Extrapolating on liking and disliking things. It's good to know what you like and dislike so you don't end up "wasting time" or money on something when people who do like it tell you it's a masterpiece must listen or whatever.



I have a bunch of friends who love Grand Strategy games and are always telling me how the new Crusader Kings or Big Boy Solar System 4X Trading game is the greatest game ever, and I have to play it and how could I not like it. I could give in and spend money and time forcing myself to play another GS game I won't like, or I can tap into my 30 years of experience on this earth knowing full well that I don't like GS games, and not waste my time or money. It's really that easy.

yeah i am very glad to have gotten to the point where i know where to find the music i like, and i know that before i listen to an album, there's quite a good chance that it'll be at least 3.0+, most likely 3.5+. maybe im just easy to please but hey more enjoyment for me

Album Rating: 1.5

The fun thing about music is I don't have to spend money on it anymore, and I find it equally as interesting to figure out why I don't like an album as figuring out why I do like it. Spinning an album that I ultimately don't enjoy doesn't really feel like wasted time because it's still an interesting process most of the time.



I assume Johnny enjoys this process as well which is why you see these types of negative reviews from him often enough. I thoroughly enjoy reading 2-5 paragraphs of Johnny figuring out exactly why an album doesn't jibe with him specifically. It's good, relatable content for me.

Yeah I feel the same way, it’s all about giving stuff a chance and ultimately being surprised, I’ve found some of my favorite albums that way…











This was not one of those times tho

I have to be that guy but it's jibe, not jive.

“yeah i am very glad to have gotten to the point where i know where to find the music i like, and i know that before i listen to an album, there's quite a good chance that it'll be at least 3.0+, most likely 3.5+”

This. The downside is that this made me even more disconnected from engagement with the site because I know I won’t like most anything that gets traction here and don’t bother and I don’t take many recs. But I’ve circled back to enjoying taking recs from the site jus for the engagement, interrupting my usual stream of self curated music intake that I know I’m going to like, and for the occasional gem that arises

“find it equally as interesting to figure out why I don't like an album as figuring out why I do like it. Spinning an album that I ultimately don't enjoy doesn't really feel like wasted time because it's still an interesting process most of the time.”

I used to feel this way but I don’t anymore because I know exactly why I don’t like it too quickly. Now the only fun in listening to music I don’t like is if it’s so bad that it’s like spider-man 3 and it circles back to being entertaining, or if it gives me something to talk about with users I like on sput because I have very little overlap with the general community anymore.

I guess the take away from all of this is that I used to listen to stuff outside of my normal purview as a learning experience but now I do it for a social experience

Yeah, I have to admit to being in this weird perpetual cycle where I have to keep checking shit the blows up on Sput because I like chatting / don’t want to feel left out. Like even if it’s something I probably won’t enjoy, it feels like I’m missing out for some reason. I’ve been dialling it back of late though, for sure. Loads of important stuff from the past I haven’t even touched and bumping old threads isn’t at quite the same as ‘new release hype’ but it’s still nice to engage (assuming there is actually a thread of course - there often isn’t).

It’s a tough balance cuz if I listen to a bunch of shit on here I know I’m gonna hate just for the sake of conversation with the community people are gonna get mad cuz it’s everyone being like “omg Jerome’s preemie wet dream” and me being like “album is butts lol”

its ok to be wrong sometimes
