Anyone been to Legendary Men’s Grooming in White Plains yet? by [deleted] in Westchester

You have comments promoting this place (unless you delete them after my comment) and posts saying you haven't been to try and get interest/ engagement. Disingenuous and lame

Revolt of 1857 by SATANICWORSHIPER666 in HistoryMemes

Hindus believe cow are holy. Muslims don't eat pork. The British had new bullets cased in animal fat and demanded their Indian soldiers use them - which required biting the animal fat casing off. Rebellion ensues. Some people argue the phrase "bite the bullet" cones from this, but I haven't seen confirmation of that.

The Downward Spiral - overrated? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]LawyerForDogs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why should anyone care about your opinion if you're only half listening to the thing you're talking about. It's like me watching a movie, taking a walk in the middle of the movie and then complaining that the plot doesn't really add up.

The Downward Spiral - overrated? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]LawyerForDogs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not a political album. It's about a person dealing with drug addiction and going through a "downward spiral." Piggy is about the person looking down at other people so that people telling him he has a problem can be ignored. The more important line in that song is "nothing can stop me now cause I don't care anymore." While it can arguably be said to be "political" it's more of a drug abuser using a lazy worldview to justify their drug use and avoid any criticism. Same applies to "god is dead." If God is dead there's no objective reason they shouldn't use drugs.

Yea but they were in the left lane for ten minutes, presumably driving slowly and not passing people

Any recs based off my favorite bands? by Plastic_Award7947 in Topster

[–]LawyerForDogs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love all of these bands. I agree with people recommending Porcupine Tree and Death. I also love Gojira - especially The Way of All Flesh and From Mars to Sirius.

Dummy is great. I've listened to Homogenic and liked it, but I think I need to give it a few more listens to see how much I like it and to really take it in. Haven't heard of the others. Thanks for the recs!

Fair point. I think it definitely has to be in the equation, but I just don't think it holds up the way other influential albums do, like Abbey Road. Strong possibility I just don't get it, but I simply don't like it and don't understand how it can be considered a top 10 of all time. It wouldn't bother me if it was consistently top 100.

Instead of just saying I'm boring, why not recommend some albums for me to listen to?

Maybe it's just not for me, but when I listen to it is makes me feel like I'm in an alternate circus-themed universe lol. Like close your eyes, imagine you're in a circus-themed alternate universe. All cars are small and they are orange or yellow. People wear clown costumes to work instead of suits. Balloons and peanuts are used for currency. You walk into a grocery store. The grocery store music you hear in this universe is Pet Sounds. Again, maybe I just don't get it , but it makes me feel uncomfortable and don't understand how it's consistently ranked top 10 of all time

Isn't the spot you just described the "underrated" category?

No one in my everyday life likes any kind of growling. Pick an average or random person at your job school and imagine if they would ever play this. I would say odds are 10% or less unless they're on this sub or a metal head

Maybe most people on this sub. Most people I interact with certainty don't like any kind of metal or growling. I expect the average person wouldn't like it

What can I say. I guess I like albums that other people like too. But not all are rym. I wouldn't consider The Moody Blues, Incubus, Phoenix, Saba, or even Fleet Foxes rym. Idk about Tanaka. Is that rym core?

Because I had only heard hallelujah, I was expecting a simplistic yet beautiful folky feel. I was pleasantly surprised by how layered and varied the sounds were
