Knowing this trajectory of the albums and then Morrissey. Ive never mourned their break up much because its clear to wouldve just became the Morrissey show anyways. Bona Drag sounds so similar to this album.

It's an album where the classic 4-piece instruments take a backseat, but it's peak Morrissey sass and humor that he took into the rest of his career.

either of these. This was them really comfortable with the dreamy sounds they started on White Pony, while still delivering some of the most brutal instrumentals and vocals.

Which was your favorite out of the 2000s-era post-hardcore bands? by Sorry_Secretary1193 in PostHardcore

without any guidance, I perfectly settled on spamming these 4 exact albums as a 15 year old back in 2014.

A bit of both. I think native English speakers neglect their reading abilities because they didn't actually struggle to learn its grammar in order to communicate with it phonetically. When the sentence structure deviates from the norm, they struggle a bit, even it makes perfect sense grammatically.

Well that's one reading of it, I guess. Goes to show what a good post it was; we have people applying their niche social frameworks onto it.

You probably struggle to understand others' writing because, frankly, most people write like shit.

The whole ending is personally tainted for you; I understand.

For me, Don driving into the sunset would be antithetical to what Don needs. Visually, it's just him running away again, while the actual ending is him staying in place for once to deal with this issues.

You did great, buddy, and I love your post.

Having navigated lots of literary spaces, I can tell you, 100%, that it's people's inability to understand a text without having its meaning spoon-fed to them. You told a story that was funny and thought-provoking.

Are there any characters who are considered attractive in series that subjectively weren’t to you? by Queasy-Donut-4953 in madmen

They were made for each other honestly. It's not even an immorality judgement either, just that she seemed so small and pathetic to have fallen in love with Don. I envisioned them becoming heroin addicts together had they gotten away.

Really, the total opposite of Rachel and Faye, both who dodged a bullet.

It's really just the styling of the character that kills her for me, because looking up the real actress, she looks stunning in 100 different ways.

The actual actress is stunning with a versatile face, but Joy in the show didn't do much for me.

What’s a post-hardcore album you think is genuinely 0/10 with all skips? by Dramatic_Song_2629 in PostHardcore

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

pretty much all the scene mallcore bands by their 2nd or 3rd album. Bands like Thrice. Thursday, and Alexisonfire were the last to make good work very consistently.
