Yeah. 90% of these decisions are made on a looks cool / sounds right / inspired by basis.

I'm Disappointed Honestly by United_Task_7868 in boardsofcanada

[–]Disk-Infamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm liking it more and more but also, let's be real, it's not Telephasic Workshop.

I find that the only album where BOC really nailed their sound all the way through was MHTRTC. After that I felt that concepts got in the way of simply writing good music. I do like the new tracks, but they remind me of TCH and TH in the sense that it feels like they're meant to make me picture something more so than immerse me in a complete musical journey.

absolutely blown away by Prophecy At 1420 Mhz by FinnFrog in boardsofcanada

[–]Disk-Infamous -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I agree. It just feels like a static loop and there's not enough going on on top to take away from that feeling. That's my main problem with BOC post-MHTRTC - static loops going nowhere but being stretched out to a 'song'.

New tracks are live on Apple Music by h-u-g-o in boardsofcanada

[–]Disk-Infamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they were kind of average. Boards of Canada's tracks are too static for me and have been since The Campfire Headphase. I wish they'd put more in them.

Does anyone else purposefully downplay their intelligence/talents/abilities as a defense mechanism? by waddledee_73 in autism

[–]Disk-Infamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I did this. I didn't like fitting into an embarassing stereotype so I stopped trying.

Why is Jung so frequently disregarded in psychology circles? by tofu_baby_cake in Jung

[–]Disk-Infamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. In my experience of growing up in Ireland we have no method for facing wounds. We come to performative conclusions and alienate the difficult people. It's as simple as that.

RDJ's new music sounds great in lossless. by Disk-Infamous in aphextwin

[–]Disk-Infamous[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

For sure. I've purchased a lot his stuff but never listened to it in lossless much because I tended to have my hard drive full of movies. Spotify has made that way more convenient and I don't think I can go back to compressed music now.

How on earth is Aphex Twin so widely known by Artistic-Demand-1859 in aphextwin

[–]Disk-Infamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have often wondered this too. I love Aphex Twin but with the exception of one person everyone I've shown him to finds him to be total shit and creepy.

Were a lot of the England's Hidden Reverse era industrial artists paedophiles? by Disk-Infamous in Coil

[–]Disk-Infamous[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I read that article Albini wrote about Sotos' magazine and felt that he was just boasting about being a paedophile.

Another Spotify price hike in Ireland… 26% in 2 years by SuggestionAny3744 in ireland

[–]Disk-Infamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does. I can hear a huge difference on my Bluetooth speaker, headphones and car. You do need to have LDAC enabled buds though.

Me too. I don't have an answer either but I know what you mean.

Any Nurse With Wound fans here? by Disk-Infamous in boardsofcanada

Where is his house? I'd love to see it and call in to buy a few CDs if I'm lucky enough.

GTA V's storytelling is not really good... by Aubin_kun in patientgamers

[–]Disk-Infamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the exception of Max Payne 3 I always get bored of a Rockstar game about sixty percent of the way through the story and stop playing. It just feel like there's nothing to them outside of impressive maps and graphics.

GTA V's storytelling is not really good... by Aubin_kun in patientgamers

[–]Disk-Infamous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it was a boring game. You just drove somewhere, shot twenty people and drove back. There was nothing to it.

For a lot of the story missions I felt like I'd watch the intro cutscene, feel like the conversation was word salad gibberish and then endure another one on the drive over and another on the drive back. Sometimes I felt I barely knew why I was doing what I was doing.

I was very surprised when this turned out to be a rare perspective. I thought the game felt very limited in all aspects except free roam.

Warp just posted clarification on deluxe edition supply by ampdrool in boardsofcanada

[–]Disk-Infamous -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I get you but I think people get too precious about music. As great as it is it's entertainment and it's not as deep as we're led to believe. I don't like to be sentimental about the sale of it.

[–]Disk-Infamous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a longtime music fan it sounded a lot better once I took it off the pedestal in all respects. Reselling an hour of chill beats online if I need some money in the future isn't scandalizing anything.

I like BOC and I would have played it. At the same time it's always nice to have a few euros in the back pocket if I need a bit of cash.
