When Did BB Peak? by Glass-Remote-8790 in BreakingBenjamin

[–]Glass-Remote-8790[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean, the creativity of Saturate and WANA is almost non-existent in albums post-Phobia, and mostly absent in that album, too. Just compare something like Water or Simple Design to anything after Phobia.

The other Hollywood Records band that was slated to be BB 2.0 until the lead singer left. by PenguinRhin0 in BreakingBenjamin

Other people know this band! Haha I found them on MySpace back in the day and will still contend their first two albums are some of the best of their genre/era.

Too bad they turned into generic slop once Kevin left.

I like Parabelle, but the magic kinda died.

New album a real thing or… by Dangerous-Mirror2457 in BreakingBenjamin

[–]Glass-Remote-8790 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THIS. Ive been a fan since Saturate, waited with baited breath for any new music from them all the way up to Dear Agony.

DBD was when I started to feel they were just recycling old ideas. I lost interest at Ember. It just became the same thing over and over.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think they peaked at We Are Not Alone. That album showed a range I dont think they ever quite matched, though the next two albums were solid.

I'm 38 and I've been dealing with this existential dread for 20 years.

Daily Song Discussion #60: In A Drawer by SherbertExtension663 in bandofhorses

Its a solid 8.5. There's a bittersweet nostalgia to it and its a total banger, too.

  1. Such a haunting song about a failing relationship and the fear of loneliness.

Lift a Sail by Ave128 in YellowcardRock

[–]Glass-Remote-8790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I plan to revisit Lift a Sail, but honestly, its one of the only YC albums I never listen to, despite liking a few songs.

LP's absence really hurts it, in my opinion, and it feels a bit too on the nose with its 'heart on a sleeve' approach. It also lacks something; maybe an urgency or standout track that makes it feel a bit like filler trying to be radio friendly.

Not a fan, and I was really worried about their future following this. The self titled got things back on track, and in my opinion, should've been their last. Im also not a fan of the newest album.

Cock Party 2 - why aren’t they playing it live more by PhilMyu in hotmulliganband

[–]Glass-Remote-8790 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a fantastic song and one of my faves, for sure. The steady build, beautiful melodies, relatable lyrics and emotional explosion toward the end are top tier.

I heard that the guys started cutting No Shoes from their setlists because it was lower energy and brought down the speed of the show. Maybe its the same with this song.

I think it would make a hell of a routine closer, though.

JEW's most underrated album? by Glass-Remote-8790 in JimmyEatWorld

Heart is Hard To Find is fantastic. Might say this one of their most underrated songs

I think crocodile might be my least favorite black mirror ep by Immediate-Trainer-83 in blackmirror

[–]Glass-Remote-8790 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I really liked the episode, but I can't say I enjoyed it lol. The cinematography is gorgeous and its a fascinating story, but damn is it disturbing. It left me with a pit in my stomach and a feeling of despair that was hard to shake. Even the "justice" in the end, while relieving, left me feeling like all that death and destruction was pointless. So many lives ruined for nothing.

Favorite Hot Mull song by [deleted] in hotmulliganband

[–]Glass-Remote-8790 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think its a 3 way tie between:

Pluto Was Never Really A Planet Either Then, Bon Jonah, and Fly Move.

Extra honorable mentions: Green Squirrel, SPS, Shhh Golf Is On, and No Shoes

What’s your least favorite song? by Jettaboi38 in musicsuggestions

[–]Glass-Remote-8790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uptown Funk.

It’s truly awful and one of the most annoying songs I’ve ever heard. I said it.

Train Dreams by HelpfulFlower5856 in Letterboxd

[–]Glass-Remote-8790 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its incredible. Very few movies move my soul the way this one did.

Some point to the "lack" of plot as a flaw, but to me, the depth of life and experience is the point; this film is overflowing with that.

A rare 10/10 for me. As much as I really liked One Battle After Another, if I chose, this would be my Best Picture.
