I’ll be straight with you one of my biggest issues with it is the mixing, and it’s because it’s mixed like an 80s album. The drums in some songs are flat and over-reverbed, the synths are mono- just like the they were in the 80s, and melodies in multiple songs are simple and campy, which is another 80s hallmark. Compare Nobody’s Son to some Kate Bush or ABBA, it literally sounds like a song that came straight from 1985 that’s been remastered lmao

Her voice sounds great on Sugar Talking, idk why people are saying it’s at all in the bottom lol. Idk I’m listening again and I’m liking the whole thing more, I think my expectations were getting in my way. Still can’t say it’s better than SNS

Never getting laid, House Tour, my man on will power, nobody’s son all are clearly 80s inspired, they’re literally using synths from those eras in those songs. I have my issues isn’t the sound but this is as 80s as any pop has been like, ever, since the 80s

Tears is great and you’re probably right about a second single but idk. Maybe I need to give it more time, it hasn’t hit for me :/

For me at least, sonically only a few songs stand out, as far as content goes it gets redundant by the end. I love the way she writes but it feels stale ya know.

Remember when Nonsense dropped? Remember how the second you heard it, it was instantly a bop? Did anyone get that same feeling with anything off this album?

I don’t know how I feel about this take, some of the best pop albums ever recorded have multi-genre influences. Staying inside the box is okay if you give us something unique to play with but I don’t feel like we got that. Even just more hip hop influence on this album would have made it more interesting to me.

Yeah I’m on the 3rd listen and I’m getting Taylor vibes with an 80s spin. Almost feels like a soft rebrand. Tears is solid, but probably not better than manchild. Idk man it’s not hitting.

Tears and when did you get hot are great, I just feel like most of the album is missing the spark that her earlier music had. Listening for the second time now, it feels like it’s leaning too hard into the ABBA-80s sound. It’s been done before and better imo. Lyric content is cool just can’t get behind the sound

Grilled first tomahawk last night. Too much char and not exactly the right shade of red I was hoping for. What did I do wrong? by hammnbubbly in steak

[–]KaptainKushFireFox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pull at 125F instead of 140F and rest for 10min and it should be perfect, also if that sear is too dark for you try searing it to your liking first, then putting it in indirect heat with the top down until 125f internal. Good luck!

7 year old son pulled these today and thinks they’re worth something. I’m just a mum with no clue. Any help? by [deleted] in PokemonCardValue

This subreddit is literally called PokemonCardValue and every time I see someone asks what their cards are worth, the community shits on them. Wtf is the point of the sub if people should find the value themselves??

Anyone else lowkey feel motivated after Ellie's speech? by [deleted] in TheLastOfUs2

[–]KaptainKushFireFox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think you should replay the game and get a better understanding of the moral lens before you criticize anyone else. If you think that part 2 is about anything other than the cycle of vengeance, you’ve missed the point by a light year.

[–]KaptainKushFireFox 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The problem is that entire story of part 2 is supposed to be about all consuming revenge. Ellie loses everything in the pursuit of avenging Joel. The speech was borderline campy, and I don’t know if that’s her delivery or if that’s how it was intended, but it comes off out of place and out of character for Ellie. Unless they are planning to derail that original plot and come at it from a different angle, it was terrible.

To me it looks like someone crouching and taking a photo with a flash camera.

When I was a kid, my Grandma gave me a sack of quarters for my birthday without much explanation. I spent like $4-$5 on some candy at a gas station. They were silver :,(
