 | Butkuiss First act was great and conclusion was better than can be rightfully expected from RTD these days tbh. I sort of don?t get why the story needed to be a chronological sequel as well as a spiritual one (was it really just so they could include a flashback clip and make a pun?), and the motw politely yeeting people to kill them felt a bit low-stakes, but those are my only niggles. Is it just me, or is the tacked on arc stuff at the end of each episode starting to get REALLY tired?
|
| Butkuiss Alright yeah that was better than RR. I like that Belinda has a bit of actual characterisation beyond mystery box, and the villain was terrifyingly whimsical. Also quite liked THAT scene and felt like it was heartwarmingly done, but felt like the second act was there to pad the runtime because the plot required the villain be vaguely threatening without DOING anything until the final act. This era seems to have a real issue with plot happening to characters instead of being driven by them
|
| Butkuiss Skeptical of these eldritch abomination villains after the missed opportunities last season but I?ll let you know how I go. I caved and watched Robot Revolution and was conflicted ? some great character vignettes but the lack of internal logic to the episodes is really grating on me lately. There are ways to use a bootstrap as an effective plotting/engagement tool but it really felt like an excuse to handwave any explanation for the premise this time around.
|
| Butkuiss I?m the opposite lmao, don?t really care about leaks because my investment is at an all time low now and this is the first season since the revival I?m not bothering to watch in real time. Rumour mill is that McTighe is being groomed for the role ? which I?m ambivalent about ?, but I don?t think it being renewed is a presumption that can be made any more. Shame it?s come to this!
|
| Butkuiss Odds on the Gatwa walked / Wilderness 2.0 rumours being true?
|
 | onionbubs damn fantastic pick, yeah kinda agreed on few good things banging but losing some of the punch in stretching its themes across so many different subjects, which i def still fw but it ended up making it beneficial that i worked backwards
|
| onionbubs yea no rush at all brother ik how it is, hope whenever you circle around to em theyre what the doctor ordered in the moment lol. and hell yes dude clipping is my aoty so far prob, absolutely killer stuff. jammed the horror albums when they came out but i gotta circle around to the old old material. sabas amazing too, he truly was a first jam this morning ha. in the middle of care for me rn and its even better. stoked to hit the new one
|
| onionbubs lol theyre amazing dude. give misery index a shot next time youre feelin that kinda stuff, crazy ambitious record that pulls off the majority of what it sets its sights on hooks galore. re: from autumn, id hit holding a wolf by the ears. on that one their drummer took over all their vocal duties and his scream is absolutely maniacal its a beautiful pivot
|
| onionbubs been hella in my phxc bag and wanted to ask out of academic curiosity, you ever jam boysetsfire and /or from autumn to ashes?
|
| Butkuiss I love the way Shearman managed to take full advantage of the audio format but unfortunately it seems like he?s left the franchise behind completely these days. Such a shame!
|
| Butkuiss Honestly at this point the franchise needs new blood but would still love if RTD brought writers like Platt or Cornell back. At this point I doubt we?re getting either, but I miss the sense of ambition and scope the Wilderness Years had.
|
| onionbubs rad thanks for the rec brother ill look into that for sure
|
| onionbubs of course man, you're a goddamn insane writer dude, youd be my favorite writer here even if we werent buds so that only makes it cooler. i get you though ive had a pretty tumultuous run of months recently so this random bout of positivity from here of all places has uh happened at a welcome time lol
|
| onionbubs you too big dawg. if it makes you feel any better ive gotten a few of my friends into records by sending them your reviews lol. like i have a buddy whose favorite band is foxing who was sold on them by your nmg review. youre at the very least are not alone in your craziness lol
|
| onionbubs fr its crazy dude. was wild too when i was getting into tv too and i realized "oh sweet we like all the same shows as well damn what a king". makes me feel less alone when i go against the grain since youre usually with me lmao
|
| onionbubs thanks for the kind words fr rowbro it warmed my heart, youre a real one. always loved the insanely eerie degree we overlap with most things, your killer knack for playlisting as one of the only other people i know who are willing to treat albums like theyre made of clay (so many albums i just use your versions youve posted here lol i havent jammed the og sgt pepper in like 5 years), and you j being an all around great dude. cheers brother
|
 | neekafat highly reccomend giving it another whirl, it's really aged well against current alt rock lmao
|
| neekafat Nice Meg Myers rating, knew i would find solidarity among the staff somewhere
|
 | Gameofmetal Bando Stone took a couple of listens to parse but yeah I really dig it. Lithonia turned out to be one of the best tracks. Also like the closer a lot.
|
| Gameofmetal Oh damn didn't know it was dropping so soon. Second single was also good, gonna queue it up now.
|
| Butkuiss If they give 13 a Dark Eyes moment I?m gonna scream
|
| Butkuiss Absolutely wild that BF have managed to draft Whittaker this quickly; don?t know how optimistic I am given the increasing pivot to paint by numbers ?X meets Y and then has their mind wiped to preserve the timeline? stories, but morbidly curious as to how this?ll go!
|
| Gameofmetal What the hell?! This man is crazy, I love it.
|
 | Pon I'd sooner write plebxgrimes fanfiction
|
| Gameofmetal Yeah love a multitalented king. Even the trailer pre-song release was interesting, thought he was making a damn movie for a minute.
|
| Gameofmetal I kinda frowned for a minute but I think I'm into it too.
|
 | Slex Also wya I need you to back me up that Drogas Wave is better than new Lupe that just dropped
|
| Slex Are you tuned into The Bear at all? Absolutely love that show but newest season is the most uneventful s*** I've seen in my life lol
|
| Butkuiss God of death defeated by lust for gossip! Very cute. Also, why the hell did it keep snowing if Ruby?s mum was just a generic Lucie Miller clone? Why did they need to search for the DNA results again at UNIT HQ if they already got them in the future? Is a duplicate Sutekh still clinging to 14?s dupe TARDIS? Incredibly concerning questions.
|
| Butkuiss Tbf ?god of games literally drops the ball? was probably more egregious in my book ? at least Sutekh had the camp factor of a CGI gimp costume being dragged about on a leash, but yeah. Very classic RTD construct an emotionally resonant plot with absolute fever dream logic then wind time backwards for the denouement type beat.
|
| Butkuiss I am crestfallen beyond belief that not once throughout that entire episode was the phrase ?It?s time to take this puppy for a walk!? uttered.
|
| Butkuiss Say that again and you?ll get the back of my Kandy Hand
|
| Butkuiss Also, did we just get references to Lungbarrow AND the Unit Dating Controversy in the same episode? I love how this ?reboot? has turned into old head continuity hour lol.
|
| Butkuiss Alright aside from the pacing feeling a bit stretched at times (how many times do they need to ask the guy where he is before they realise he?s probably dead???) that was a pretty decent setup episode. Nice and doomy, the villain reveal satisfying. Wonder how satisfying the wrap up next week will be!
|
| Butkuiss Actually I?ve rethought it and I think RTD already has it planned that REG will be the next actor cast for the role. Cheers
|
| Butkuiss Withnail and I is now a multi doctor special
|
| Butkuiss Yeah the crew dynamics seem really underwritten this season ? what the hell was with that flashback being a flashback instead of like, shown five episodes ago??? I will say, REG in the hologram basically canonising Shalka made me giggle; wasn?t expecting that one ever.
|
| Butkuiss Decent episode. Ncuti good, but man, has he cried in every episode to date? Honestly though the whole cosplay plot seemed very Slitheen ? surprised they weren?t a returning villain here, as I thought it would?ve been a perfect story for them.
|
| onionbubs will do brother will likely hit them tonight
|
| onionbubs was actually thinking of doing that dive soon so thanks for the push over the edge. u2 in the suggested bands has my ears perked. debut an ok place to start?
|
| Butkuiss Also just went for a lurk on /gallifrey and can?t believe how much that place has changed since 2014 ? the amount of positive reception this episode has gotten is absolutely mad.
|
| Butkuiss OOPS SORRY I CANT WALK STRAIGHT WITHOUT LOOK AT PHONE
|
 | Mort. they only have one good album (debut) anyways
|
| Mort. i like how much u changed your mind on arctic monkeys AM, nice rating review discrepancy, smart lad xxx
|
| Gameofmetal Tragically haven't read much King despite being a horror writer, just The Shining so far. He definitely has that reputation.
|
| Gameofmetal Well maybe I shouldn't have said it like that, kinda condescending. The hardest parts are the end I should say.
|
| Gameofmetal It's easy until you get to the part where you have to actually wrap up the thing in a bow and get people to read it lmao
|
| Gameofmetal Sucks to hear, my listening hasn't slowed down or anything but I'm totally out of motivation on that front too, still write but just fiction now.
|
| Gameofmetal Been reading a few of your reviews since I got on this hiphop kick, you?re pretty good at this writing stuff I must say.
|
| Gameofmetal I only listened to the 3.15.20 version once atavista dropped, guess I didn't really take in those details regarding transitions and such. Didn't think the 2020 mix was bad tbh but I like the new mix better overall.
|
| Butkuiss Great setup, typical RTD payoff. Loved the callback to The Watcher. Was a bit confused about the ?make the PM resign with your future-ghost? subplot. Cackled at the idea glasses and extensions made Gibson look anywhere close to 40. I?d like if a few of the loose threads here got tied up in the season finale, but ultimately think they?ll go unanswered. Very engaging watching experience, at least until the fridge logic kicks in.
|
| Gameofmetal How you feeling about Atavista? I see you were a big fan of 3.15.20
|
| Butkuiss Yeah, it was a bit janky in parts but it still might be the episode I?ve enjoyed most since World Enough and Time. Why do I get the feeling the next month will just be us going ?that was good but not great, next week looks like it might be cool though!? over and over
|
| Butkuiss I have hope, but also dreading that it?s going to turn out to be another trite The Meaning of Christmas episode where Santa shows up to change the ending. I am not huge on the Christmas specials in general, unfortunately.
|
| Butkuiss Oh, there were gorgeous sequences (silence field, the Pyramids ref, the cold open), I guess that?s why I found it so frustrating in the end, because the rest of the writing just seemed like a way to get from Cool Scene to Cool Scene. Hoping the Grand Moff?s episode next week scratches my itch (and I wonder how much of a re-hash it?ll be of that one scene in The Magician?s Apprentice)
|
| Butkuiss It just felt like things kept happening because Muscle Tee Davies needed them to, not because there was any actual impetus for them to. Even some technobabble around just intonation or A=432 being banned because of their relationship to the Maestro in the episode leading to them finding the ?lost? chord would have made more sense ? but instead there was just nothing. I?m obviously not the target audience any more, but no clue how these scripts got past proofreading.
|
| Butkuiss Yeah Gatwa is great but both of these scripts felt like ?just get something down? first drafts that never got another pass. I actually think I preferred Space Babies in that it at least had a semblance of internal logic to the plot ? I?m still trying to figure out The Devil?s Chord. Why did the puddle nullify the silence field? Why did the Maestro?s violin break? Why could John and Paul figure out the final note of the bog standard major chord that banished Jinx when the Doctor couldn?t?
|
| onionbubs definitely up there for me too that's an all timer run. that moment in tree where jardine comes in is otherworldly and never fails to send chills throughout my body every time, ditto the breathtaking codas of til i die and surf's up. also really adore the last 5 on sunflower i probably jam all i wanna do like 5 times in a row before i have to move on lol. ****in unbelievable how ahead of its time that song is
|
| onionbubs yeah its such a shame his songs are so good! live again is so good too i gonna try spinning the album that way. i kinda like take a load off but its def nothing amazing lol. i read that a big reason dennis's songs were cut was his insistence on wanting live again as the closer which is unfortunate bc much as i love the man, til i die into surf's up is j too perfect
|
| onionbubs dude yeah instant all timer song for me. had my first jam walking around a giant lake and that bridge had me levitating. such a phenomenal album in general. sits just outside my top 3 bb (with the asterisk that i refuse to jam the wack ass mike love song on surf's up and swap it with 4th of july lol)
|
| onionbubs lets ****ing go dude that is fantastic news. derek's singing is incredible always thought it was criminal how little he sang in trio. his bridge on don't say you won't is one of my favorite moments in their whole discog. i gotta hit breakdown again when i'm not freshly trapped in only wanting to listen to the beach boys lol
|
| onionbubs god ****ing damn that is nuts lol. all these years ive been giving matt false props for how perfect those melodies are. would kill to hear like a rough demo of derek singing it one day
|
| Slex Finally watching the last 2 episodes of Shogun let's ****ing go!!!
|
| onionbubs lol i think your message got cut off a bit there, but yeah ridiculous late career run. even though this album has made some of cursed's holes more obvious to me i love how they kinda compliment each other as like a late career sum up of everything theyd done since good mourning followed up by a fundamental change in how trio songs are written. no derek going forward doesnt have me worried per say but the new stuff will feel different for sure and ill miss him, but atom rules and i trust them
|
| onionbubs absolutely dude. everything in the right place on that. i really gotta see how im feelin in a few years bc if theres one thing i know how to do its overinflate my love for alkaline trio lmao but smth in my bones really makes me feel like it could go down as my favorite, at least compositionally. j something about them breaking down some of the prior walls regarding the rules of alk3 is really inspiring to me it means a lot with how entrenched in my dna they are lol
|
| onionbubs yeah theyre awful lol. havent really found a good home for at sickness yet but i think im just too used to the flow of the album as is, but it is nice feeling like they generally picked the right material for the album after so many lps where they ****ed the tracklist up
|
| onionbubs these are cool. i really like at sickness. other two feel like theyre a draft away from being something special but have their moments. sacrifice's riff is really dope even if it doesn't really live up otherwise
|
| onionbubs sick dl'd. appreciate it lots. funny that they sequenced one of them in but not the other two lol
|
 | AsleepInTheBack Do it. Define the narrative. Revoke our metacritic recognition. Anything is possible.
|
| onionbubs lol uh where would i go about finding these?
|
| onionbubs i cant believe my eye-eye-eyes. gonna have to dig up the new jams good lookin out brother
|
| Slex I got up early to watch only to find my Hulu/D sub lapsed so I have to wait to watch ughhhgfgghvjj
|
| Slex Second album is a big grower but it's definitely the weakest in the trilogy, Whiplash and T/T on new album are huge career highlights for Soupy
|
| Slex Also, title track on new Aaron West is the best song Soupy has ever made
|
| Slex Just caught up on 7-8 and watching those back to back was exquisite and shattering. I'ma just say it idgaf, those 2 episodes were peak GOT- tier, the last scene between Toranaga and Mariko???? Bruh.
|
| Slex Also YES Yubishige, what I really love about that is that the show does not in the slightest beat around the bush with some mystery about whether he is or isn't betraying Toranaga and instead uses that energy to focus on him as a character, god he's good
|
| Slex I think the white dude is supposed to feel super out of place lol, and I personally think his performance and character have gotten a lot more interesting than when started
|
| Slex Please tell me you've found a way to watch Shogun episode 4 was spectacular
|
| Slex Totally forgot Atlanta was FX, fair point lol
|
| Slex It's an FX show streaming on Hulu, it's so ****ing good, easily the best FX show since The Americans
|
| Slex Have you watched Sh?gun? I wasn't expecting much from the previews but it's actually incredible
|
| Butkuiss I can?t believe you got a new song tonight. Pissing and s***ting.
|
| Slex I liked some things but yeah it wasn't great, didn't know another season was ordered
|
| Slex Welp goddammit those 2 episodes were an absolute mess lol
|
| Slex I have been indisposed so I'm behind a couple episodes, I'll probably disagree with u tho
|
| Butkuiss I?ve never read the VNAs or anything ? I just want to see the s***storm if Lungbarrow ever got adapted, especially after Chibnall?s Timeless Child. Axiomatic is a good starting point for Egan?s short stories (the format he excels at imo). Into Darkness from that book shares a lot of tonal and thematic commonalities with stories like Scherzo. I wouldn?t be surprised if Egan?s work in some way influenced some of the BF writers. Also, it?s nice to read hard sci fi/cyberpunk set in Sydney!
|
 | mandan Damn, a late congrats on making Staff. Not for everyone, to commit to the whole reviewing thing. Hope you're well.
|
| Butkuiss If Chimes or Storm Warning could be done, I reckon they?d be stellar ? Storm Warning might even be a good opportunity to bring back the Reapers in place of the Vortisaurs (especially considering the eventual conclusion of the Charley arc). I?m just skeptical of the ability to pull it off, especially with Disney involved now. Wish they?d adapt Lungbarrow! Do you read much Greg Egan, btw? Some of his short stories really give me an early Big Finish, psychedelic high concept sci fi feel
|
| Butkuiss Honestly, I would prefer they didn?t adapt pre-existing stories ? Dalek and Family of Blood were great, but Star Beast has put me off adaptations in the current iteration. Give me more original Leather Jacker era McGann material!
|
| Butkuiss I still have mixed feelings about BF recasting 1-3 ? I?ve mostly avoided those releases. I?m also incensed they?ve done so many minor character spinoffs (including Cass, which imho kinda ruins the impact of NOTD) but have conspicuously left Jeff from The 11th Hour out? ?
|
| Butkuiss Yeah, Creed of the Kromon was downright uncomfortable and C?rizz was an extremely annoying companion; but I really enjoyed the EDAs with Lucie (and Dark Eyes, after which I fell off). Chimes of Midnight and Seasons of Fear are the best of the early Charley/8 stuff imho. Absolutely not placing any hope in it, but did you see the rumour of a televised McGann spinoff being cooked up by RTD ?ostensibly to keep classic fans happy while the franchise careens off in another direction under Disney?
|
| Butkuiss Oh 100% ? I think the audio format in a lot of ways suits the premise and universe of Dr Who more than the show (in its current form) does. Audios are liberated from the budgeting and VFX limitations that mean every second episode is set in London. At its best (Big Finish up til 2012ish) is equal to the stories from any other medium ? Scherzo and Neverland for example just blow most of the tv show out of the water.
|
| Slex It's funny you say that because this season was originally pitched as its own show and HBO forced the writer to make it a TD thing lol. Also I can understand about the two leads but I disagree, Navarro especially is really interesting imo
|
| Slex Episode 2 is so much better, especially the 2nd half. Some absolute bombshell connections to S1
|
| Slex Are you watching the new True Detective???
|
 | xxm Great Green Day review.
|
| Mort. youre one of the few users who know the old username and still bring it up pls spare me the emberassment i will slink away now

|
| Pon Hi just letting you know I'm getting more bean liquid okay bye
|
| Slex Artsy dreamy n very catchy emo/phxc/indie. TWIABP, Dismemberment Plan, early Cursive. For a lil look check Class of Violence, SOTY
|
| Slex Listen to Fear Not Ourselves Alone asap
|
| Slex These Wrens demos are mother****ing spectacular lol
|
 | Pheromone Haha I asked him a while back if three types was on the album - he said yes but with a new middle so sorry baby
|
| onionbubs oh word lol thank you brother will dig it up
|
| Pheromone i prefer the current old death honestly - that leak, from what i've heard though, is gutting
|
| Pheromone if you're that way inclined there is a wrens lost album demo leak that has come out recently on slsk
|
| Slex I know yr "retired" but there's no way yr not reviewing Empty Country II right??
|
 | IsildursBane44 Hey Rowan! Just dropped a new album a few weeks ago and was wondering if you'd give it a spin! Every track has a different sound it goes for so keep that in mind if you listen through it. https://open.spotify.com/album/4xIsjgpiQvPWrpxWeXi3uI?si=QK3w2VgXRB6xA0KjFxZdTA
|
| Pon I've acquired bean liquid

|
 | DadKungFu https://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?listid=204015Hey Rowan, sona's got a good thing going for a good cause and I'm trying to plug it to various people who might be interested
|
 | nash1311 Ok fair I?ll allow it. Just keep your good music taste plz
|
| nash1311 Lolol. I just noticed you?re emeritus and I was like damn I feel like he wasn?t staff long enough to be retired
|
| nash1311 You?re too young to be Emeritus
|
| onionbubs in all fairness BLUREMI was not an instant hit for me either haha glad i fw it now tho bc that song whips a colossal amount of ass. blur are not a band where i'll let a less than stellar first impression dissuade me lol most of their stuff has had to grow on me to some degree
|
| onionbubs lol yea its soo comically slow it rocks. really dig what you dig w the sequencing in general flows a lot better than how they put it together. not super sold on get out of cities yet but it fits v nicely and propels the momentum forward quite well
|
| onionbubs yea i saw it on one of their sets where they played the whole new album as the main set and i am so unbelievably jealous of everyone who went to that. really digging dancehall too def glad to have that on the tracklist. really helps beef up the back end had no idea they had a song that heavy in them lol
|
| onionbubs damn yea all your life is easily one of their best how tf did they cut that
|
| onionbubs yeah absolutely makes the switch up between the two albums less jarring as it is an insane leap otherwise (still kind of is lol). v stoked to jam that s/t tracklist later never heard all your life before so i am especially very hyped for that
|
| onionbubs dig your great escape tracklist a fair bit. good job turning it into a good album lol some dope b sides. curious as to how your self titled looks (ie: what specific cuts in the back half you drop/where you sequence all your life in). sounds like an absolutely banger playlist
|
 | Ecnalzen Heh, yea, sometimes it do be like that
|
| Ecnalzen Dang, haven't shared a thread with you in a bit, I guess. When did you get the Emeritus tag?
|
 | botb If you?re still on your hip hop review kick give that ICECOLDBISHOP LP a listen. Only thing I had heard him on prior was a song with Boldy but this blew me away
|
 | Colton how chill is australia i'm thinking about going there
|
| onionbubs damn thats a great idea i should try and throw one of those together to cater to my deep love of playlisting lol. with document i mostly just dig the first 4 and last 2 songs (miss me w the big singles and lightnin hopkins forever) and i have enough jams on green to pad the rest out i think but yeah its a mess as is. i usually love me a diverse r.e.m. album given i adore (most of) out of time but the poppy songs all feel pretty forced to me and the mandolin jams just meander and meander
|
| onionbubs yeah around the sun straight up sucks lmao big kudos to them for rebounding so hard with accelerate. i think green is alright but it is reeeeally not what i want out of r.e.m. some highs tho at least untitled esp is spectacular i love that song. i give pageant the slight edge over fables bc auctioneer is skip for me but otherwise theyre super close yea, and i greatly appreciate the way they check off such different boxes despite being only a year apart. their prolificness early on was crazy lol
|
| onionbubs i do feel ya i may love it now but it took a while to grow on me. the tonal whiplash was simply too much when i first jammed it after freshly deciding automatic for the people is my favorite album ever made lol. glad i appreciate it now tho. and yea fables is absolutely gorgeous and im glad you champion it as hard as you do bc somehow its the consensus worst irs album (something i cannot even remotely comprehend in a world where document exists lol)
|
| onionbubs goddamn dude yea that doenst ideal at all i hope that wasnt too rough on ya. i actually did jam monster and loved it lmao. granted i can kinda embrace distortion on it, as i elected the day otherness dropped to trip lmao (one of the most musically rewarding days of my life tbh god i love aof) but i do j really dig monster in general lol. i spend the most time with out of time/automatic/fables in that state usually (radio song doesnt exist to me lmao) but up is a really stunning jam on it too
|
| onionbubs ngl thats kinda motivated me to start checking out more movies thats a rad approach. and lmao nah great as they are i knew better than to brave those waters, plus typically in that state its hard not to throw on the tried and true warm fuzzy blankets bc it comes around so infrequently (as it should i am not trying to throw my brain into a frying pan lol) only really jammed erra and r.e.m. lol but it was a good time was wandering through this beautiful reservation throughout which was lovely
|
| onionbubs that movie looks rad ill have to give it a shot! ngl im still yet to fully dip my feet into the waters of film, but i have been meaning to start exploring and i allways trust your recs brother. soon comes soon is fantastic btw i may have to try and find a home for that one (also sorry i saw this SO late i tripped acid yesterday and there are very few things more visually unappealing on that substance than ****in sputnikmusic lmao)
|
| onionbubs fantastic picks that 3 song run is my favorite stretch too. all fantastic songs that flow tremendously into one another in the sequencing. i havent gone deep enough into reading about the band to know their consensus favs lol but dare me is amazing and very worthy of being a "basic" pick. and ill absolutely dig up that bonus as soon as i can
|
| onionbubs forgive me for reaching out so late re: young fathers lifes come at me fast lately but goddamn dude what a stellar stellar band. been rinsing wmrbm2 all week especially and its sunk itself pretty deep into me i miiiight even be starting to dig it more than heavy heavy lol. very grateful youve been repping them so hard and that ya pointed me in the direction of such a rewarding discog! what are your top jams off that album?
|
 | Sowing They did say it was going to be a heavy rock album which is giving me not so pleasant flashbacks to Cope as well. Hoping if they go that route they inject some creativity this time.
|
| Sowing Sweet, you fell for my trap so that it'll be my turn when the LP eventually drops! Kidding of course, your MO takes are always top notch and I'm excited to read what you think about the EP.
|
| Sowing Nice! Any thoughts on the new song and if it's piqued your interest enough?
|
| Sowing Ok well I'll leave you with the first rights (unless someone nabs an official release date and dibs it before either of us), but if you decide against it then let me know and I'll be the backup!
|
| Sowing Are you going to write about The Valley of Vision? I haven't seen an official release date yet (I've come across 3/10 and 4/7, can't confirm either). I wrote about MMOG so this one is all yours if you want it and have the date (I know you're a Patreon member so I figured perhaps you have earlier access to this info!)
|
| botb Yeah man! He?s got a great back catalogue too, only been releasing stuff for a few years but it?s all really solid.
|
| botb Check out Mickey Diamond?s Oruku Saki. Just dropped in January, think you?ll really enjoy it
|
 | Jash Hey man, here?s a record you should check out, one of my all time fav hip-hop albums that is criminally underrated, let me know what you think https://notoraps.bandcamp.com/album/death-my-irony-surpasses-all-others
|
| Sowing emailed you at the only address I know for you
|
 | Atari YES. I've loved them for years but something special about this one. just dropped my review for it :)
|
| Colton actually listen to JEFFERY
|
 | TheSpaceMan cant help but noticed you gave goose a 4.1. ive seen them like 4 times and i still dont know my opinion on them lol
|
| Atari I did like the second half of Halloween Ends better than the first.. and damn I guess I need to rewatch Nightmare on Elmstreet again because I had no idea that's who that was until you mentioned that ;) I've still only seen 4 episodes my vacation ended and I got busy
|
| Atari Sad to say but Halloween Ends is pretty lame so far? but crossing my fingers the last 40-ish minutes will change my mind a bit
|
| Atari ah damn haha. I'm on about episode 4 and it's not my favorite by him so far but I also think people are exaggerating a bit about the drop in quality
|
| Slex A 5?? In this economy???
|
| Atari Is Midnight Club good? I must know
|
| Slex Begging u to drop the Wonder Years review so I can be uncontrollably hype for the next week
|
| Slex Sudan Archives is in 3022 with her new album do not sleep
|
 | YoYoMancuso Rising Down was mid but I actually really liked How I Got Over sry
|
| YoYoMancuso actually nvm it's way too short but a 3.2 is still a little too low
|
| YoYoMancuso Copy paste my Tipping Point thoughts, but this time about And Then You Shoot Your Cousin
|
| Mort. they sound like white guy guitar music post hardcore/alt rock/space rock/grunge oooh im a man with feelings core
|
| Mort. look, im just saying the guy with 27% alt rock should probs check out a little band called shiner who has an album called The Egg that i think he would enjoy
|
| YoYoMancuso How does The Tipping Point only have a 3.4 average. Way better than Phrenology so far
|
| YoYoMancuso not on Spotify! willing to listen if i can find it somewhere else
|
| Slex Please tell me you love the new 1975 single as much as I do it's pretty much perfect
|
| Slex I gotta disagree lol, tho I see where yr coming from, but he is exactly like the character in the comics
|
 | Winesburgohio on the case, ironing out the kinks, back into the inferno to plan a u - i - adeel holy trinity (sex position)
|
 | Kompys2000 Yo row have u ever checked Mark Heard? I've been really loving his album Dry Bones Dance lately, major Crowded House vibes in the melodic approach and vocal style imo
|
| Winesburgohio habbo won't log me in but i'm renewing efforts with extreme urgency to discuss new alvvays in exacting detail
|
| Slex Yr Dear Hunter rating is too high
|

|
| Slex .....Brothers is so heartwrenching, my God.
|
| Slex Spirit Boy is literally one of the best songs I have heard in my entire life
|
 | theBoneyKing Theyre certainly an outlier among my favorites, fun and catchy isnt exactly my brand but indeed thats what they are, all about the groove and swagger and coolness factor. Great tunes, plain and simple (except not really because they know how to give their songs just the right twist or turn so as to not be as simple as they seem).
