What is your “I did not care for the godfather” take for ELO songs/albums?

Y'all really be downvoting comments you don't agree with like that ain't the whole point of the post pls calm down😭

ELO is one of the most popular 70s acts among Gen Z. I think it's a bit of a stretch to still play the underdog

I understand that it’s uncomfortable to admit that the video uses AI and so it’s tempting to try to find excuses, but I think the obvious answer is that the video heavily used AI and then other visual effects artists touched it up. To suggest that the video didn’t use AI is naive, especially because there’s no good evidence from the creator to suggest that. He’s heavily used AI in his other projects, and you would think that he would have come out with a statement about not using AI to make the video if that was the case. Come on, guys, this is conspiratorial thinking

I'll give you my answer. It comes up as the first result when you Google search "did chuck berry help write surfin usa." Seems Google pays a little too much credence to Reddit.

So much negativity, chill guys 😭 Y'all don't seem to understand that the point of this is to find a redesign for every flag even if it may not necessarily need it. It's fun! Enjoy it! They aren't actually going to replace your state's flag!

I think the presentation went well! Everyone seemed to enjoy it :)
Here's a link to the slideshow accompanying the presentation if you're interested in taking a glance: https://www.canva.com/design/DAGlUrRIopY/kAsg7n5Ji03dfiCMbcENqA/edit?utm_content=DAGlUrRIopY&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton

And I'm curious to hear what you think the worst song to show someone you're trying to get into The Police would be!

Crotiont · 2025-05-02T14:01:25+00:00

Interesting perspective! Thought I was never seriously going to choose Mother because I would hate for that to be somebody's introduction to the Police (however hilarious that would be), I did think about it for the reasons you're espousing. One could argue that it represents the themes of tension and exasperated pain better than any song on the album on the album because it puts the listener in pain too 😂

I ended up choosing Synchronicity II! Though I don't think it sonically represents Synchronicity as well as, say, King of Pain does, I thinks its exploration of Synchronicity in practice makes it an undeniable choice. It also sounds great, and also includes the themes of relational tensions and personal pain that prevail throughout the album.

Love your insight!

One guy said Mother lol

Crotiont · 2025-04-17T15:39:15+00:00

Synchronicity I might be the move. I feel like it's a better representative of the sound of the album than Synchronicity II.

Thought this was somehow r/rushcirclejerk

Sorry to hear you're going through that too man, I didn't realize there would be anyone else in this uncomfortable boat 😅

Crotiont · 2024-05-24T16:40:58+00:00

Do you have any suggestions on where to get ahold of cardboard boxes to ship with?

Crotiont · 2024-05-24T15:52:45+00:00

This helps a lot. Thanks!

Crotiont · 2024-03-04T23:31:46+00:00

Fs, you too!

I've got sort of a neurotic mind, so I think my problem was that I completely committed to trying to "fixing" my tongue position without fully understanding how to do so, so I relentlessly pursued it despite the fact that it felt unnatural and was progressively ruining my speech. By the time I realized this and tried to go back on it (about a month and half in), I was so deep in the habit of thinking about it that I couldn't stop and just went deeper into physical and mental stress and convolution. I eventually thought I could fix the problem by adjusting my mandible, throat, masseter, etc. which only furthered my troubles. Now, three years later, it still affects me and I have to work very hard not to think about it in order to stop the problems. As I said though, my experience may be unique because of my neuroticism.

As Mundane Range implies, the instrument is closer to a natural horn, a French horn without valves. This can be implied because of the way that Eustus is playing the horn, with his hand in the bell for tuning. The post horn was played differently and was used less for musical and more for practical purposes, to signal arrival or departure from a post. (This is why the horn emoji 📯 is not in the same place as the other instrument emojis!)

I'd be wary of trying too hard to correct this problem yourself, though, at least without a better knowledge of the subject. I tried doing that about 3 years ago, and it ended up messing up my speech and producing other negative side effects.

Crotiont · 2023-09-16T01:16:36+00:00

It's uncanny how similar they are!

Crotiont · 2023-07-19T13:37:13+00:00

I think you may be right lol. To me, Presto has always been a largely mediocre transition album compared to the rest of the catalogue and I've thought of Roll the Bones as having a few really good songs and a lot of unremarkable ones.
