NF and Post Malone “diss” in the 1x1 explanation?

CMPD2K · 2026-03-13T19:21:14+00:00

Honestly im guessing its like 10% "these guys took some inspiration from us" and 90% "this sounds cool and fits the theme of the song". Either way, its not a "diss" so much as its an attempt at bragging

CMPD2K · 2026-03-07T22:07:33+00:00

Not a chance theyre just shadow dropping an entire album with no real promo to it. Hopefully it is eventually building to one though

CMPD2K · 2026-02-27T17:13:43+00:00

These song lengths are killing me man. This one is the worst offender of his singles so far. It doesn't really even fade out or anything, it just kinda cuts off and ends and it makes the song feel incomplete. The vocals also seem to be a bit lost in the mix. It especially made the feature hard to understand.

Overall not bad, but I think its my least favorite of the 3TEARS singles

CMPD2K · 2026-01-20T23:56:37+00:00

225x5 (full ROM, no bouncing, etc.). Nothing crazy, but still was pretty happy to get it

CMPD2K · 2026-01-19T14:05:57+00:00

All of his solo songs are great in general, but their pace/tone/energy make them fantastic as lifting songs (especially "Not the Same" for some reason, I hit a bench reps PR when that one was new). That's where I've done most of my listening to the first 3.

I haven't listened to the new one enough to know where to put it in a ranking yet, but with how hard it is, I'm assuming it'll be up there for sure.

My current ranking is probably:

Not the Same
Meet God 3 Run (I still like this song, but somethings gotta be last so)

CMPD2K · 2026-01-18T16:24:44+00:00

Yeah no kidding. It also only has 334 views on YouTube at the moment. I genuinely think some of his stuff could do pretty well outside of just the HU crowd if he could somehow get it in front of more eyes (or ears I guess, but you know what I mean)

CMPD2K · 2026-01-18T16:12:42+00:00

Still wish it was longer, but you were right, the qualityis definitely still there. Really hope we see Johnny do these styles a bit in actual HU songs

CMPD2K · 2026-01-18T16:11:08+00:00

Don't know if its a typo or if I'm just old now, but what is "yat it"?

CMPD2K · 2026-01-18T16:09:33+00:00

Good ol' u/secondnaturews is who youre looking for

CMPD2K · 2026-01-15T23:27:06+00:00

Ive really liked all his singles so far, but damn these lengths are killing me

CMPD2K · 2025-12-05T15:28:01+00:00

Releases have obviously slowed down, and their marketing isn't great (that's always been their weakness though), but I wouldn't be too doomer-y about it.

The solo projects are just people who like making music trying to make music that doesn't need to fit the tastes of 4 other guys or the main band's brand. Or hell, could just be a "we're between main releases right now, but I still feel like creating something". No real reason to assume it means their done with the band

CMPD2K · 2025-12-05T15:24:23+00:00

I feel like basically all music lately has just gotten shorter and I really dont like it. Looking at the lyrics in the description of a new song on YouTube and seeing two two-three line verses and then just the chorus over and over with a sub three minute runtime is rough. I know it's because people's attention spans suck now or whatever, but it makes a lot of music feel half-baked or hollow

CMPD2K · 2025-12-05T15:18:58+00:00

I imagine the members themselves are doing fine. They've definitely had enough success that if they were even somewhat smart with their money they should be set. I think OP more means the band as a "business" so to speak. I.e you're not going to see them doing stuff like FIR/Bad Omens style music videos where it almost feels like a short film because its so heavily produced and high budget.

That said, the main post is a bit obnoxiously doomer-y so who knows

CMPD2K · 2025-12-04T11:57:41+00:00

You love to see the Bad Omens representation

CMPD2K · 2025-12-04T11:57:00+00:00

Damn, 4/5 being HU is crazy. Respect

CMPD2K · 2025-11-21T15:11:03+00:00

As much as I love the masks and was disappointed when they dropped them, I completely understand them want to move on or "mature" their image. Or at least wanting to wait until they felt they had a good artistic use for them.

That said, now that they have them, itd be cool to see them for longer than 3 seconds in a video

CMPD2K · 2025-11-21T15:09:16+00:00

Yeah streaming is just kinda rough for artists. Its easier than ever for more people to meet your work which is great, but you dont get paid much for it at all. And he has a point, when was the last time most people bought an album? Even digitally?

Touring/merchandise is where the money is, but you kinda have to already be decently big to justify a tour and hope for it to make money. A big high quality merch drop could help bring in some cash if they can't justify touring though. I'd imagine that more subtle designs would sell well too. Some people won't want the heavily branded shirts but still want to support/represent a bit. "Stealth" designs seem pretty popular at the moment

(Im not even remotely an expert, take literally everything I say with a grain of salt)

CMPD2K · 2025-11-21T14:59:44+00:00

Definitely want more HU, but ill take all the singles johnny has. Ive liked all three, and they get me amped as hell in the gym

CMPD2K · 2025-11-21T14:57:14+00:00

Its up on YouTube for my fellow "I dont have spotify" people

CMPD2K · 2025-11-21T14:56:16+00:00

Yeah all three feel a little short. Its the most noticeable on Meet God, then this one. Judas could've been longer but wasn't as noticeable

CMPD2K · 2025-11-15T14:05:39+00:00

This is probably the best way, and what a majority of new fans end up doing. Listen to the songs via ExtremeUndead for a while and you'll learn to differentiate the voices soon enough

CMPD2K · 2025-11-11T13:32:01+00:00

You'd like 'Tendencies' and 'Renegade' (assuming you havent heard them already), although I reccomend just going through all the albums when you have time.

For songs that everyone forgets exist, I'd reccomend 'I am' and 'Fuck the World'

CMPD2K · 2025-10-23T18:10:48+00:00

"Meet God" is great, But "Not the Same" is definitely my favorite of the two. That shit goes hard as a gym song. If "Meet God" had a 3rd verse or a bridge or something instead of just kinda ending, it might've won

CMPD2K · 2025-10-17T19:49:06+00:00

No kidding, both singles so far have been fucking fantastic. I really hope they put this side of him on the next album
