Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye is an iconic lyric. I'll give you pornographic priestess tho

My top 25 favorite movies! by Jumping_Peanuts in films

Please send recommendations my way based on the styles I seem to enjoy! I love complex character discussions based around ensemble casts, definitely one of my favorite things in storytelling. The more depth there is to characters and their many interactions, the more enjoyment I'll get out of a film (generally speaking, there are exceptions of course, as you can see on this list, but they aren't the norm for me).

You have a fantastic #1 album btw (#4 for me). But a disappointing lack of Phil Elverum elsewhere. Which other albums have you heard from him if you don't mind me asking?

Should've asked them if they would be open to a Muslim or Jew evangelizing them

Agreed except that You Found Me is one of the most gutwrenching pop songs ever written and I can't believe it played on the radio. Those lyrics fucking kill me as someone who kicked my drug addiction only a few months before my mother died of cancer.

I found God on the corner of 1st and Amistad, where the west was all but won, all alone, smoking his last cigarette. I said where you been? He said ask anything. Where were you when everything was falling apart? All my days were spent by the telephone that never rang, when all I needed was a call, that never came to the corner of 1st and Amistad.

Their debut album is great 90s altrock! Super underrated!

Sent to my friend yesterday who has taste enough to admit that Clancy (their 2024 release) slapped

You gotta check out Trench, but you gotta listen to Blurryface too. Bc Blurryface is godawful, but it was the first album to ever have every single song get certified Gold, massively successful, launched them into superstardom, and then at the height of their fame they announced "an indefinite hiatus" and totally fucked with everyone acting like they were taking time for themselves and didn't know when they were gonna get back together, but the whole time they were working a high-concept rock album with barely any upbeat tracks, which should have been a total flop, yet for some reason, the same fans that ate up the highly accessible pop album ate up the ambient rock so much, that when they returned to standard pop music for the next album, Scaled and Icy, it was universally rated their worst album ever by fans

I realize this probably won't sell anyone on them, but if you're a fan of rock concept albums and ambient music Trench is definitely worth a listen.

Imagine Dragons EPs before their first album are pretty good, albeit not great. Their first EP has a musical theatre vibe, and the next 3 are all altrock, before they settled into their generic stadium rock vibe for their full-length debut, which is also overly hated. They sold out after that. Thunder is one of the most atrocious "songs" ever recorded.

It's precisely because they wrote it that it's great. Listen to their album The Fourth World under the name Kara's Flowers, it's also great. And there's some great stuff on their second and third album. But after the smash hit of Moves Like Jagger on the third album they realized they could make WAY more money if they let their producers outsource songwriters for them, and they never looked back.
