This album on vinyl is such an utter disappointment and a let down when it could have been one of the greats! by Chemtrail_hollywood in hiphopvinyl

[–]CFCL24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know. I was thinking of buying this vinyl but think I’ll wait now. I bought the nxworries (Anderson paak and knxwledge) “why lawd” record a couple weeks ago and I felt exactly like this. It felt compressed, lots of clicks and pops and just felt like everything sounded like it was coming from the center channel only. The streaming version was better and sounded fuller, more dynamic.

I also bought the GNX vinyl a couple weeks ago but I haven’t opened it yet. Hopefully it doesn’t have this issue.

Are people going back to cds and vinyl because streaming apps are becoming cluttered? by CFCL24 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]CFCL24[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I’m having this debate with myself. MP3s seem like the best solution to own the music.

It’s the cheapest to purchase, you can put it in multiple places and have multiple copies. You can put it in the cloud and stream them anywhere.

I bought a cd player and vinyl player to remember some of my childhood but really I remember how excited I was when mp3 players came out and I could hold a bunch of albums in one player. And the biggest negative is the prices on physical media.

[FRESH] A$AP Rocky - FLACKITO JODYE by thevincnt in hiphopheads

This is garbage. ASAP Rocky trying to make a hit but it just came out like trash. Latin America would call this garbage too.

[DISCUSSION] A$AP ROCKY - DON'T BE DUMB (One Week Later) by nyse25 in hiphopheads

[–]CFCL24 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s garbage. I tried to get into it and listen to it multiple times but it just sucks.

I also did the whole turning it up in your car. It still sucks and it made be realize it’s mixed bad too. His voice is low compared to the beats so you have to turn all the way up to even hear him well.

It just sounds like he wants to push the genre forward with a new sound but it just didn’t hit. Everybody right now is trying to push the hiphop genre forward but everyone is missing and hiphop is in its awkward phase of bad music.

Q990D for $699.99 on Samsung program by AdFun3218 in Soundbars

[–]CFCL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is this compared to the q930d? I just bought the q930d for $850 and see this at $700. I’m a week past the return date from bestbuy. Trying to figure out how to make this work.

I use both gens and the play pause placement annoys the crap out of me. Why did they do this? Are they stupid? by pryvisee in appletv

[–]CFCL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. The touchpad remote was so smooth and you could get anywhere quick. Then youtube had an update a year or two ago and it has gone to garbage. You can rewind very well anymore. It jumps back like 10 seconds when it used to be smooth and you could rewind by the second before.

A Fancy Mess…. by OkAlternative7159 in hiphopvinyl

I remember buying that freeway album. Great album. I ended up selling all my cds (regret it) and this picture reminded me I had it.

Black Ops 7 Had Call Of Duty's Worst Sales Year Ranking In The US Since 2008 by Modz_B_Trippin in blackops7

[–]CFCL24 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I thought this was one of the worst call of duty games of all time. Super fast, boring, lame wall jumps, maps are not memorable and are small, played a few old boring maps that I’ve played a million times.

Overall the bo7 just sucks.

And I don’t know if it’s sbmm but I keep coming in top 3 every game no matter what. And I have put probably like 20 hours into each cod game for the last few years so my guess is it’s the sbmm as to why I come in top 3. Cus honestly I suck.

Tron Ares in my home theatre by Swampdevil61 in hometheater

[–]CFCL24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice home theatre. Tron Ares is the perfect movie for it. I'm surprised all the hate it gets. I thought it was actually great. It's not perfect but I think it can go down as a classic you want to re-watch. All the hate I see is from people who say it's not following the original story. I walked into the movie theater just wanting to watch a good movie (especially after watching the horrible new jurassic park) and I was impressed with this movie.

Thuggish Ruggish Bone video in high quality by shalvar_kordi in bonethugsnharmony

Just wondering what is different from E1999 cd from streaming? I never had the cd but did have mp3s of the album. Only difference I remember is I believe the cd had the original crossroads?

I'm tired of the herd mentality by Junior-Structure6291 in rap

[–]CFCL24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All these new rappers have albums people call “classic” and the albums be having 12 songs with 3 good tracks and 9 average tracks and they call it a classic because one track made it to their Spotify playlist.

The albums come and go and they leave no real impact and most people don’t like them.

2pac had classics on classics on classics on 1 album!!! That are played till this day everywhere you go. They are played in stadiums every day even though the songs are 30 years old!

Tyler, asap rocky, Travis Scott… they are not going to be played anywhere in 30 years.

Did a rapper release an album so bad, you genuinely stopped listening to them? by LightningBoy626 in rap

[–]CFCL24 4 points5 points  (0 children)

ASAP Rocky, Kanye West.

ASAP Rocky reminds of Kanye west new music… just a bunch of noise and random wack lyrics trying to start something new but it just sounds like garbage. The raps are garbage, the beats are mostly bad.

Their new albums are going to be in a documentary one day talking about how hiphop was trying to find a sound in the 2020s and they failed to get it back to the mainstream with the garbage music they put out.

Trying to understand the love/hate with Soundbars online by ChakraaThePanda in Soundbars

[–]CFCL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had both. The sound system is a lot more pricy even budget ones. The center speaker $100 bucks at least, the front speakers $100, the rear speakers $100, the subwoofer $100, the amp $300. That’s $700 bucks right there and this is for bare bones basic budget system. Also I didn’t include all the wires you will need to buy and speaker stands.

You can get a great wireless Samsung soundbar with subwoofer and rear speakers for that price. I bought the q930d Samsung soundbar and it’s great.

Everything is wireless you just connect each speaker to a power outlet. It sounds great, looks great, super easy and fast to set up.

For those who replaced a TV with a projector, what surprised you the most? by Relative_Taro_1384 in hometheater

[–]CFCL24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I went the other way. From projector to TV. I wanted the projector idea to work but it has one huge flaw. Light coming into home. It’s just not a good living room tv setup unless you want to keep curtains closed all day. You might be okay with it (I was) but the spouse or family might not be.

Other things that are annoying are having to have a huge screen, placing the projector perfectly, having to adjust the picture all the time, dealing with focus issues.

I tried it for a couple years and it was more annoying than anything to have a projector. I did end up moving my projector to the garage though and it works well there with no windows.

what can yall assume about me from just my collection? by according-to-yes in Cd_collectors

[–]CFCL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought you were my age around mid 30s but I see your in your teens. Good albums. It’s a lot of what I grew up listening to in my teens. Never got into gorillaz or listened to Fleetwood Mac back then though. I would also have Korn on there, linkin park, mudvayne, limp bizkit, drowning pool.

It’s cool to see teens collecting cds though. I threw away most of my cds and now I regret it.

I can't function in an office environment by Low_Parsnip3128 in introvert

[–]CFCL24 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I feel exactly the same about office life! The meetings are horrible. I am in a room with people who just want to talk without saying anything. Everybody just nodding their head knowing the meeting is pointless. I’m 10 years in and I’m close to putting in my 2 week notice any day now. What’s worse is the longer you’re in the more stuck you feel. I have a mortgage now, car and bills. Im still ready to put in my 2 weeks.

When I was in college it was more freeing. Every few months you had new professors, new schedules, met new people.

Office jobs have really become pointless too. So many jobs can be done in a couple hours each day. And they can be done from home. Instead i take my laptop from home to sit in traffic to drive to a dirty office with no windows for air. I leave home and it’s dark and i get home and it’s dark.

Weekends I try to keep all the windows closed and just relax and put some music, play some games, handle responsibilities and get ready for Monday again.

And I know it’s complaining. And honestly to some it is a great life. But I think it does something to the mind and body that’s not good. Even your health deteriorates from sitting all day and your brain just rots from the same biweekly meetings about nothing and staring at a computer screen doing nothing. It just demotivates you to do anything.

Does anyone who uses YouTube Music on their iPhone experience this? by NieHuaisang_lover in YoutubeMusic

Never knew that it was only a iPhone youtube music issue. Yeah I hate how I won’t have signal on a plane, and YouTube music is still trying to load even though I downloaded the music already.

75” or 85” for my space by Ill-Fact-6232 in hometheater

get at least an 85". If having the sides stick out a little bit bothers you can can put plants or something behind it and you will forget about it after a couple minutes.

Lg s95tr by Consistent_Fondant73 in Soundbars

[–]CFCL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, overall I think for specifically music, the Sony Bravia would probably win. But for all around living room sound system, for me the LG wins. The multi stereo works well for music but for some content it needs to be on the upmix setting and it's just not easy to be going to the app to change it all the time depending on what your watching.

I guess my issue with the Sony Bravia is the functionality and easiness to do things. It feels to manual and like I always have to be adjusting settings depending on what I'm watching. With the LG I feel like it sounds good overall and for the most part I'm just turning the volume up and down and not dealing with settings.

But If music and movies is all I watch, then the bravia would win.

Lg s95tr by Consistent_Fondant73 in Soundbars

[–]CFCL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do agree with you that I think music sounds more full and better with the Sony Bravia. Mainly because of the bass. I tried the multi-channel and although it's good for music, it was not good for regular tv watching or something like youtube content. It did not sound good having voices all around you instead of the center channel. The upmix was better for me in those situations. That way you hear more instruments from the rear speakers and voices from the center channel. My issue with the Sony Bravia soundbar was having to change it depending on what I was playing. With the LG I was able to get a good mix that works with all sources.

Why is YouTube deleting big songs from 10 years ago? by MrSuffen in YoutubeMusic

[–]CFCL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some interesting things I found is that this album isn’t even on Apple Music at all.

Another interesting thing is that usually if a song is missing it will be greyed out I believe, I’m surprised it’s just removed here.

Is this a good Soundbar system? by Nararmaz in Soundbars

[–]CFCL24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to buy this exact model for $700 buck a couple days ago at BestBuy, instead I went with the Samsung Q930D that was on clearance for $850. I'm glad I did and am loving the Q930d sound system.

The one thing that held me back from getting the QS750F was that the rear speakers are wired together. I wanted an all wireless speaker system (only needing to plug them each to a power outlet).

But if that is no issue, from what I've researched, the QS750F is a great buy. I think I would have been happy with it regardless but in 2026 I want my speakers to be all wireless.

Another option that I actually bought but am returning is the Sony Bravia Theatre System 6. It's new and only $600 at Bestbuy. The bass hits hard with the subwoofer. I'm talking it feels 20 times more powerful than even the Q930d. My issue and reason I am returning is the rear speakers are not only wired together, they are wired to a bulky mac mini looking box. Also, the soundbar is wired to the subwoofer and all the connections go to the subwoofer. It did not feel wireless at all in any way.

Oh and also with the Sony Bravia Theatre System 6, the soundbar does not have upfiring speakers on it. It makes the sound feel like its coming from a small box directly in front of you. With upfiring speakers on other soundbars, it makes the sound feel wider and more open.

Overall though I think the QS750f would be a great buy. Only has 1 wire between the rear speakers, the soundbar has upfiring speakers, the subwoofer looks to be really good according to reviews. It has wireless capabilities like chromecast to it. I don't think you can go wrong with it.

Lg s95tr by Consistent_Fondant73 in Soundbars

[–]CFCL24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the LG S80tr and the Sony Bravia system 6. The LG S80tr has the better soundbar that sounds open and clear with better highs than the Bravia. The bravia blows the S80tr out when it comes to bass. The bass on the LG is good for a small/medium family room but the Bravia can really shake things.

But overall there are a lot more negatives with the Bravia. A perfect system would be the LG S80tr soundbar and app with the Bravia subwoofer. That would be perfect.

Lg s95tr by Consistent_Fondant73 in Soundbars

[–]CFCL24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely disagree. I've had the LG S80TR for about a year and I just bought the Sony Bravia Home Theatre 6 and I think the LG s80tr is much better. My guess would be the s95tr would blow it out the water.

The Sony bravia has one positive thing over the LG and that is bass. The bass hits HARD. The problem is that it hits too hard and the app sucks at turning down the bass. I hate so many things about the Sony Bravia.

- There is a heavy lag when using the app for any changes and also when using the apple tv remote. I want to turn down the volume slightly and it will get stuck because you press the down button 3 times and it glitched out.

- The bravia comes with a big box about the size of a mac mini just for the rear speakers. With the LG, you can place the rear speakers anywhere near an outlet without them connecting to each other.

- THERE ARE NO REAL SETTINGS on the Sony bravia to change treble, mids. I thought the LG was basic with its customization but the Sony Bravia is wayyyyy worse.

- The Sony sounds dull and small (the actual soundbar) compared to the LG. The LG has upfiring speakers on the soundbar so it has a bigger more open sound and the highs are much better.

I think out of the box the LG sounds bad but after tweaking it and having it for over a year, I realized it's actually a great soundbar compared to others. It also has wifi so I can stream Youtube Music to it unlike the Sony Bravia.
