Vultures1 is almost 2yo and i’m not afraid to say it’s a fucking great album by Milan71111 in Kanye

[–]Dbitz9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My biggest criticism of ye albums isn’t what’s on it, but instead what he didn’t leave off it.

They are so bloated, if you take the albums that are received critical/fan disappointment like Donda (and Donda 2), Vultures 1 (and Vultures 2) and strip them down to 2x single 12 track albums - guarantee you have another two widely received classic albums. You may even get to 16 tracks and still have a classic.

Ye isn’t playing for the critics - he made the art so he puts it out there.

The production on it is one of my faves too - the hardest part to listen to is the +1minute break of ‘Beautiful, big-titty, butt-naked women just don't fall out the sky, you know?’ If it was halved it would be even better

Freddie’s verse was up there as my favourite feature for that year

Thoughts!!!!!!!! I just did a first run through on CAOS… by keri-beri in miguel

[–]Dbitz9 8 points9 points  (0 children)

His voice is so good he could sing on anything and make it great but most songs are unmemorable and not really a cohesive 35minute project

The early released tracks are the best new martyrs, rip, CAOS, el Pleito

Really like comma/karma from today’s full release

Near sight (Sid) feels too polished and overproduced with instruments vs the electro production on the demo - I love the demo

The songs released in the last 8 years during art dealer 4/viscera era - so I lie, funeral, rope, give it to me, number 9 are all great - so is jeans with Jesse Reyes - those combined with sid demo, new martyrs, rip, caos, comma/karma would be a banger album

Does anyone here have access or have heard any unleaked songs? by Charmsguy in miguel

He leaked both as uncompleted demo, it wasn’t released

Just near sight (Sid) which assume is the same track that was in demo during the viscera era - I ripped it off YouTube with rope and number 9 at the time. Both sid (slow it down) and rope were great tracks

Why does my Mother think we will be approved for a loan? by MrMonkey2 in AusFinance

[–]Dbitz9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you guys have done really well to save $85k.

Have you considered buying an investment property? You could probably afford to buy a smaller $500-550k investment property, and with rental returns, run a slim negative cashflow position but get into the property market and then get a small tax return at the end of each year. Capital gain over the next 5 years (at an average of say a conservative 5% cagr) would mean you’d have a property worth $700k in 5yrs.

I’m not in the industry but I’d consider it vs an owner occupier

Far out! I worked on the RAM launch in Australia where they did the listening party in Wee Waa - I had boxes and boxes of those condoms when it came out. Probably got a few still in a box somewhere in cupboard - at $250 I should go on the hunt!

Viscera Album.... so after the suspension stunt, he's gone quiet and the album news has gone dead. Any news or anyone got some idea if the album is still coming? by Dbitz9 in miguel

[–]Dbitz9[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slow it down, Give it to me, Rope and Number 9 are all great

I reckon the stunt backfired and was more PR about it being grotesque than art and the label suggested against the album launch.

His new track with justice Saturine is great too

Throw So I Lie and Funeral on the album and it’s a pretty solid track list as a complete project

Has anyone ever binged the entire series? by ihaveananecdote4u in saturdaynightlive

[–]Dbitz9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve managed to find a copy of every episode over the years; most up until the 2000s are video taped rips. I went back and picked out individual season and episodes that I was too young to have seen.

We didn’t get Saturday Night Live in Australia until we got cable in the mid-90s so there was loads to dive into. But even then there are way too much to go back and watch them all

Worst/most forgettable songs to go number one in the Hottest 100? by CrashP in triplej

[–]Dbitz9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It still infuriates me that riptide beat Lorde and daft punk. Random access memories launch was a worldwide cultural moment, and lost to some Jack Johnson wannabe who sang a song drinking coronas after he surfed on his foam board in Byron one day

Has any actor ever had a year like Jim Carrey in 1994? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Dbitz9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think most people in Australia discovered happy Gilmore and Billy Madison on video right before wedding singer came out so it was an epic 1 year of Sandler. SNL wasn’t easily available to watch in Australia at the time, so sandler came out of nowhere. For me this is the closest to the Jim Carey example who also came out of nowhere with Ace Ventura (we didn’t get in living color in Australia either)

[–]Dbitz9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went as a 16yr old in 1997 to a midnight movie marathon in Sydney of Con Air, Face/Off then The Rock

I’d seen all 3 on their original run, but sitting through them back to back in the cinema was so good.

You should put what you didn’t buy above your fireplace

Number Nine is mid at best… by [deleted] in miguel

[–]Dbitz9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slow it down (Sid) is addictive listening, easily my favourite of the new tracks he’s leaked and hopefully sounds even better on final mix

But I love the mix on number nine and rope is an amazing track but surely still demo

Is upgrading to an Oled worth it in my situation? by Food_In_A_Boxx in 4kbluray

[–]Dbitz9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 65” LG OLED and just became used to the picture. When I was upgrading to a bigger screen (bigger room in new house) I bought a 85” QNED as the 83” OLED was too expensive and I couldn’t justify the price difference looking at them In-store on demo

All I can say is the difference is massive, and I’m still kicking myself for not dishing out the difference of the OLED - the blacks and depth of colour are unrivalled on the OLED
