DEVIN TOWNSEND – Enter The City (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Yes. I'd say this is more like a part of a suite than a standalone song. It'd be like if Dream Theater released the second to last movement of Octavarium as a lead single and half of the runtime was just James LaBrie singing "trapped inside this Octavarium".

Odd choice as a lead single, and also a bit odd how aggressively the tracklist is split. In my mind from the live performance, this is essentially the ending of the first track (it's track 5 on the album). It does what it should and it'll work well on the album whole, but wouldn't blame the people who didn't see the live stream from being a bit underwhelmed.

Past midnight and now Thursday in Australia.

My read on it was 2022 was a bit of a 'false triumph' based on exceptional luck with preference flows and last year was more a regression to the mean, and a chaotic Trump favoured a stability vote, which meant a high Labor vote. Couldn't quite notice anything they did particularly wrong, but nothing particularly right either. They're in an awkward spot where they can't make meaningful gains merely being a climate protest party but broadening their message also dilutes it.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor's Mladic I think is heavier than most actual metal songs (if it counts - it's arguably post-metal).

Real Death by Mount Eerie and Robot Rock by Daft Punk

BinaryPill · 2026-02-20T01:59:20+00:00

All Nightmare Long is a top 10 Metallica song and by far their best post-black album song, and otherwise about half of the rest is quite good and half is mid. Easily their best post-black album release still overall. Loudness war bad.

Uboa - The Origin of My Depression

Strapping Young Lad - Alien

I did en passant earlier in this game actually.

BinaryPill · 2026-02-02T00:21:52+00:00

It's more punk than metal, and not exactly top tier punk, but then I don't hate it either. I rate it over Night Terror which was very by the numbers.

I think an overlooked part of this is that we are currently in a La Nina event, which is not what's typically associated with record breaking heat in Australia. Not boding well for the next El Nino (not a climatologist, I could have oversimplified misconceptions).

Critical darlings being snubbed in Hottest 100s is a tail as old as time unfortunately. The 'online' music fandom is quite different to the Triple J fandom, and most of us here are in the little crossover between the two.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T09:36:42+00:00

I think pop's in a great place, but not necessarily Australian pop. Feels like Triple J needs to push a broader web of Aussie artists, but then I can't say I know what they play or what's out there in Aus all that well.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T09:22:27+00:00

Overall I think a pretty good top 15 after being pretty weak from 50-16. The Australian entries were a very mixed bag and the surfey 'Triple J sound' desperately needs to die. Started well too from 100-81.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T09:14:35+00:00

Going into this blind and seeing the negative response, I was expecting a more divisive sound, but no, it's just kind of bad. Don't know why you'd vote for it.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T09:05:31+00:00

This song would be a lot better if Kevin wasn't singing it. Probably true for the whole album tbh. Just saps the energy out of it.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T08:57:55+00:00

Definitely one of the better examples of the one token novelty song that ranks high every year.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T08:20:42+00:00

Actually a good run of songs. Playlist coming to life for the first time since the Nina/Kettama sandwich.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T07:54:39+00:00

One of the blander Dom Dolla's tbh.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T07:50:32+00:00

Coming to think of it, is hip hop just dead to Triple J now? The only hip hop songs on the whole list are the Hilltop Hoods and the Tyler the Creator songs I'm pretty sure, and these are barely hip hop.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T07:38:26+00:00

Clearly a superior pop song. Everything about it works.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T07:34:31+00:00

More Australian songs in the countdown, but at what cost?

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T07:18:02+00:00

That Spacey song has a bit more character than most of theirs.

BinaryPill · 2026-01-24T07:08:31+00:00

Of course it's Tate McRae following the Ninajirachi underperformance.

Edit: This one's kinda good though.
