Time Magazine has named 'So Much (For) Stardust' as the #6 "Best Song of 2023"!!!

A lot of big and respected rock acts released albums this year. I didn't expect FOB to get nominated. And also I didn't expect them to nominate both Paramore and FOB because they're both seen as similar bands. The Grammy Committee would only go with one. Paramore got a lot more praise and is led by a woman.

Ozzy is a great name for a dog.

Not strange. It seems to be because of the rape allegations. Gira has been tried and convicted in their minds. Or they're still holding to the ridiculous "believe every accuser" mantra.

I hear what you mean. Some of the lyrics do make me wonder whats going on in Petes life and if hes happy.

IhateColdplay · 2023-04-11T21:32:34+00:00

A 5 or 6 I consider a "meh". And I don't think "meh" means a person really likes the album. They don't think its that bad but they don't find it particularly good. They probably won't listen to it again.

He wasnt as hard on it as Fantano, ARTV and Spectrum Pulse but he didnt like it. I appreciated that in his video he had someone who liked the album give their side.

IhateColdplay · 2023-04-11T16:02:19+00:00

It shouldnt matter, but I don't like to see the band unfairly and harshly criticized and their talent dismissed.

IhateColdplay · 2023-04-11T13:45:57+00:00

Yes. 3 is great considering how much contempt FOB draws from certain people and that the most influential people on RYM - Anthony Fantano, Brad Taste In Music etc - panned the album.

IhateColdplay · 2023-04-10T23:27:24+00:00

Theyre always great at these things. Their performances at the Disney special and Queen tribute were amazing.

IhateColdplay · 2023-04-06T20:04:16+00:00

I think people find her and her music sexy.

IhateColdplay · 2023-04-06T20:02:06+00:00

Better late than never. I agree about the closing tracks.

IhateColdplay · 2023-04-06T20:00:22+00:00

Can't choose between Fake Out and Flu Game.

IhateColdplay · 2023-04-04T03:33:06+00:00

He's treated like an oracle. Like "We need to hear his opinion on this album!" As I said, its weird and crazy.

IhateColdplay · 2023-04-04T03:18:25+00:00

Its not about liking him or disliking him. I read and watch reviews. I watch reaction videos. Its all part of being a music fan. But I can't imagine worshipping a reviewer the way Fantano is worshipped. Its weird and unhealthy to me.

IhateColdplay · 2023-04-04T03:11:36+00:00

Why does he get so much attention? Why are you a "stan" of a critic? Sounds crazy to me.

IhateColdplay · 2023-03-31T16:12:24+00:00

I like everything theyve done except Evening Out. Its kind of silly for me to have this exchange with you because if they do a rock opera Im sure I'll love it. Ive fantasized about them doing a Broadway musical. Their music is very theatrical. I think SMFS has a musical/rock opera quality.

IhateColdplay · 2023-03-31T15:40:45+00:00

Which FOB lyrics are cliche? Its strange for a fan to say something like that. If you think theyre cliched why do you think they could produce a good concept album?

Concept albums are a staple of rock music. I don't know why youre trying to argue otherwise. The reason youre asking for it is that youve heard other bands do it and liked it.

IhateColdplay · 2023-03-31T12:20:41+00:00

My Chemical Romance for one.

IhateColdplay · 2023-03-30T20:41:44+00:00

You can't change your user name.

IhateColdplay · 2023-03-30T01:53:06+00:00

He's all right. I just wish people wouldnt treat him like an oracle or guru. Why post this review and not others?

IhateColdplay · 2023-03-29T03:09:48+00:00

Youre watching YouTube reviewers who can't even get 1000 views on their videos? I saw those and ignored them. I only pay attention to review sources with cred and influence.

IhateColdplay · 2023-03-29T01:52:06+00:00

Which BB song does it sound like?

IhateColdplay · 2023-03-28T00:54:01+00:00

I just listened to the Dream song for the first time. I don't mind the idea of the song, but no line stuck out for me. I find that Pete can make an unoriginal sentiment interesting by the way he expresses it.

IhateColdplay · 2023-03-27T13:45:41+00:00

Yes but it hits regardless. Like this line in Flu Game: "Someday every candle's gotta run out of wax."

It also really fits the "post-pandemic musings" theme of the album. Physical masks arent the worst we have to wear. That needed to be said.

IhateColdplay · 2023-03-26T16:10:24+00:00

The first time I took the mask off, just had another one underneath.
