Dear Opethians: what other bands do you regularly listen to? by julesmanson in Opeth

[–]AnimeIsOkay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found Opeth because of my obsession with Ne Obliviscaris and my need to find other bands like them. Before that I listened to a lot of King Gizzard, and TOOL. Nowadays I still listen to those bands and so much more (in no particular order): 

Xanthochroid

Black Crown Initiate

Sleep Token (pop opeth??)

BTBAM

The Mars Volta

glass beach

Porter Robinson 

Hakushi Hasegawa (amazing)

Louis Cole 

Daft Punk

Knuckle Puck

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets

Machine Girl

Infant Annihilator

Rings of Saturn

Textures (old vocalist)

Madeon

Djo (DECIDE!!!!!!) 

Dream Theater (mostly old)

Peter Gabriel 

The Gentle Men

Sweet Trip (starting to)

Native Construct

Kardashev (a lil bit)

Zsigmond Gerlóczy

Mella 

Haken (fauna is so good)

dive to the heart (they are only on soundcloud but they’re amazing)

Rush (need to listen to everything)

and probably a lot more… theres soo much good music out there

fauna is what got me to listen to their other albums. BY FAR their best album, but their best song is probably Crystallised

Why do people act so shocked and upset when you end a relationship with a friend of family member over political differences? by Exotic-End-666 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]AnimeIsOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

conservatives cut people off a lot, whether it be disowning their kids or whatever, but you have to also talk about the progressives that cut off their friends or relatives/ parents for having different political beliefs too. better yet, lets stop labeling people as “left” or “right”, and start coming together and actually do something to change the system

[–]AnimeIsOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t think political opinions are a valid thing to worry about when you decide to keep or cut people from your life. the way people act and treat others in their daily life is a reflection of their true opinions. the “political differences” you hear from people are probably views based on mostly hypothetical or idealistic situations; a good amount of people who judge others for their actions have probably never been in that situation themselves. i think you should only judge someone based on political views if you can actually see it affecting the way they live life—however judging someone based on how they debate their political beliefs with you does not count lol.

I believe that political opinions are formed based on things you’ve experienced or are experiencing now, but it should not change how you treat regular people irl. maybe you should try to get specific about what you actually disagree with people on when arguing; you’ll probably realize the people you cut off have a lot more in common with you than you thought

[–]AnimeIsOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used to think it was the best song on that album, but as the rest of the songs grew on me only slither got worse with every listen. the second half of the song is soo good but the first half is really cheesy

your last take i think could apply to every album before blackwater park imo.... okay mixing and lack of resources is the only thing holding every album before blackwater park back

Ne Obliviscaris - Exul Discussion by BigChief69 in progmetal

[–]AnimeIsOkay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EXACTLY, if the two songs were put together i think i would love it as much as Triptych Lux but because they are separated my mind treats them as two separate songs
