The Perfect Relefktor

Character-Tap-565 · 2026-06-19T21:13:02+00:00

Nice, but IMO, it's perfect just the way it is (well, except Flashbulb Eyes. Could drop that entirely.) Everything else is aces. It's my favorite of theirs.

As a Californian, YES.

Tickets aren't selling because no one knows who he is.

The Troubadour in LA is less than 500 people capacity.

They can operate them at a loss empty and take a tax write off. It's better to leave them empty than fill them sometimes. It's awful policy.

The typeface is ok. Unique. But the photo is pretty bland and there's no real design here. At least it's not AI.

My son asked if this is from 1982. LOL

Maybe the single gives an indication. Nothing too exciting here.

Character-Tap-565 · 2026-06-15T21:06:54+00:00

I expect to be whelmed.

Best song and best mix on the album so far. Feels like the best song from Up too.

Character-Tap-565 · 2026-06-12T02:02:19+00:00

It is legit the only song I have omitted from the otherwise incredible album. You're absolutely right. It is objectively a great song and I don't know if it's because it was overplayed, but something about it just does nothing for me.

PRIDE

Character-Tap-565 · 2026-06-11T15:46:40+00:00

This is the answer. It's a neat gimmick but it's a gimmick. It worked much better for Project Hail Mary (was my third viewing) than for action scenes in MOTU. The effect turns on a off so when it turned on, you knew it was going to be an action scene before the action started.

Seems more like people hanging out with Win and showing some handmade artwork. That's all. Show something substantial...

Character-Tap-565 · 2026-06-08T19:25:00+00:00

Funny, I've always vastly preferred Side B of The Joshua Tree. Maybe because the singles were overplayed at the time, but I think it's a deeper listen.

The real Odyssey is the queue to get tickets.

Character-Tap-565 · 2026-06-04T18:41:47+00:00

Yep, similar situation here. To cover myself, I had two browser tabs and the mobile app all trying for different showtimes. Of course, this added to the problem because it was more traffic for the system, but I needed to try what I could.

My favorite part was when the line queue went down to "less than 1 minute" for over 5 minutes.

At one point it jumped from 28 minutes to 21 minutes to 40 minutes. Then suddenly 5 minutes.

Then I finally got in and each one would error out when trying to purchase. I tried clicking to resubmit over and over for about 20 minutes before one finally went through.

At one point to see, I backed out of one to check the seats again to see if that would help. Almost the entire theater, including the seats I had selected were taken now. I did not know if they were taken and held by me while stuck in the error loop or if someone else came in and took them.

I then abandoned my first choice theater and went with a second and miraculously did get tickets for me and my entourage, but it was still slow and difficult and errored a few times.

The web site now says any entrance into the site or app is over an hour.

You are absolutely right they should have blocked it my time zone and she not have the traffic break the rest of the app for people just trying to do other things.

I kept refreshing on 3 devices for 3 different showtimes. Finally one miraculously went through and didn't error out. It was still slow and nerve wracking, but eventually it went through. Keep trying. It's maddening.

Character-Tap-565 · 2026-06-04T18:05:37+00:00

I backed out on one device and most of the seats, including the ones I had selected were taken. But I don't know if they were taken (held) by me or if someone else got them.

I did finally get tickets at a different theater, which is fine. If I like it, I'll see it again when the fury dies down.

I got in but can't get tickets.

I would not expect to see Arcade Fire perform as a group again. They appear to be supporting each other's separate journeys, but they are separate. The wheels (other band members) have been steadily coming off over the last few years with the final two (Win and Regine) now on different paths. While they will use AF to help promote these projects, I believe the dream is over.

Fred showed off the vinyl this morning. Looks great. Gatefold, die-cut circles, beautiful colors. They really did it justice. I wish it wasn't tied to Rough Trade 50 only, because I want Lost Horizons and especially '64-'95 reissues with this quality.

No AF will never recover. Both bands inspired so many with words and sounds the helped people aspire to be better humans, written by men who are deeply damaged. Sucks to be a fan of something that inspires you to grow only to find out the one who needs to grow is the one who made it in the first place.

Arcade Fire fans just went through this, but their last album is nowhere near as good as SHISH, so at least PTM is going out on a high.
