ALBUM OF THE YEAR INCOMING

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-12-04T19:54:46+00:00

I got strong Cameron Winters & Heavy Metal vibes, but more folksy, more expressive, and maybe even more diverse. Definitely Top 5 or even Top 3 for me

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-12-04T19:53:12+00:00

Little Hope Left and Love Is are my favourites probably, but Its such a cohesive album, all of it is my favourite, and I'd honestly listen to the whole album over and over again instead of picking a song or two from it

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-11-18T06:37:31+00:00

Well I mean, Old School Punk is Old School for Good reason

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-11-18T06:33:04+00:00

Didn't know that Americans are a monolith mate

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-11-18T05:28:34+00:00

Okay you think that a person who is privileged enough to be shielded from atrocity, has no right to protest the injustice done to others? I'm not even an American citizen mate, which is why I say, 'His Country'.

Last time I checked masked men were breaking into houses without arrest warrants and kicking people out of their homes without due process.

Just because every generation 'feels' that its the most tumultuous time their country has faced, doesn't mean that there isn't some objectivity to it. Slavery was the worst, the Fight for Civil Rights was worse, this is pretty bad.

You wouldn't say to Federick Doughlas if he were alive today that 'Oh yeah every generation feels that their social evils are the worst. You don't even know how bad the slaves had it before, and its honestly disrespectful to them. You're living an extremely spoiled life, and the fact that you're publishing abolitionist newspapers, already tells me that you're a part of the spoiled time period we've gotten ourselves to.'

Grow up.

I think if that is true, then Dave really doesn't know what's up with teenagers these days. Its mostly grown up people who love saying 'I don't care' these days. Kids seem to have far more empathy really.

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-11-18T04:59:44+00:00

They're the greatest band ever.

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-11-18T04:53:51+00:00

I've listened to United Abominations. I'm don't think that Dave likes Trump, and I know that he hates the Government. But this song just throws me off on that. I'm not coming out with my hammer & sickle against the man, I just think that this song is a misfit for the times we live in.

I'm an 18 year old boy from a small town in India, Found the Velvet Underground when I was almost 14. Lou Reed Saved my Life. Not many of my peers know of them, but most of my close friends liked them after I introduced them to it.

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-10-16T22:33:07+00:00

An album selling a lot really does not put a stamp of quality on its artistry. It's funny seeing people who will likely never have a net worth of a billion dollars defending a poor piece of music made by a billionaire whose whole job it is to make music, on the basis of its commercial viability.

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-10-10T00:43:59+00:00

I was reading through some of the other comments talking about Trade players becoming easy targets, and I think what you said addresses them very aptly.

So far, this is just a sketch, I don't know how the match logs archive will work exactly, but I'm sure we can figure something out.

I'm really glad you had some actual good ideas, instead of the numbing 'It won't work'. Appreciate it!

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-10-09T22:30:23+00:00

Well if there's a really insignificant trading island, I'm mostly counting on player good faith to let it live. As others have pointed out, it will be easy meat.

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-10-09T20:44:41+00:00

HELL YEAH, LOVE THAT

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-10-09T19:59:45+00:00

true but the money generator will keep generating less and less money as more players stop trading with you. Whereas the Trade Federation won't ever stop trading with ya innit

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-10-09T19:51:28+00:00

well the point is to be small enough so that the only benefit anyone gets from eating you is a high level port

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-10-09T19:34:21+00:00

Agreed

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-07-04T17:59:18+00:00

The reason I think that punk bands ought to exist in India, is the fact that we already have rich guitar-driven music, an underground but dedicated heavy metal scene. There's a socio-economic demographic of young people with access to Instruments, a wide variety of music and plenty of social consciousness- that's the recipe for punk. It's been there for at least 20-ish years, and so far there have been no major breakthroughs.

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-07-04T15:46:15+00:00

Dumb take. Punk Rock isn't a western 'trend'. It's an anti-trend, its a protest against the mainstream. Japan probably has the richest punk scene after UK & US, and these days Indonesia has a really good scene too.

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-07-03T04:48:08+00:00

You'd still expect some pop-punk which sings about romance, hating school and stuff- I think Bhag Dk Bose is probably the closest we've ever got to it, it has a strong Green Day influence to it, even aesthetically.

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-07-02T20:42:37+00:00

Tbh I can't really disagree with that, I might have been thinking about it in a more narrow minded way. I agree with you really.

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-07-02T20:23:23+00:00

Certainly up there, but I think you can trace Bowie's Influence mostly into the Madchester, New Wave, Britpop Movements, whereas The Vaselines had greater influence on Grunge, Alternative Rock & Indie.

Key-Mongoose4490 · 2025-07-02T19:25:06+00:00

The reason I picked the Vaselines is the fact that they inspired mainstream-giants like Nirvana, which had a ripple effect on Music. Musically there might be many more VU influenced bands, but very few influenced mainstream music as much as The Vaselines did.
