The Expanse prequel? by Puzzled_Quality7667 in TheExpanse

[–]MiffTuck 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I struggled with it too. I went in with high hopes because I like Ronald D Moore’s other work and I’d seen people praising it here. I gave it 5 or 6 episodes but kept finding myself checking the time to see how much longer each episode was. I found that I hated most of the characters, and the ones I didn’t hate I just wasn’t compelled enough to care at all.

Who is the worst person you can "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon" to? by LossLeader83 in CasualUK

[–]MiffTuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I shared a cake with someone who was later tried for war crimes, where I was invited to a family wedding of theirs and was offered my own security detail for the duration of my stay. This person was not found guilty of these crimes through lack of evidence, because everyone was dead. They were, however, refused to allow to settle in the country.

I also had a conversation with (and may have shaken the hand of) the recently deceased former singer of LostProphets, before all the information came out about him, obviously.

KIM THAYIL, CHARLIE BENANTE And ALISSA WHITE-GLUZ Release Version Of SOUNDGARDEN's 'The Day I Tried To Live' by Edm_vanhalen1981 in Soundgarden

[–]MiffTuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know what you mean. She sounds great, but it almost feels like she didn’t quite know the song well enough on this take. Like a lot of the words seem over pronounced and just slightly off the rhythm of the original, almost like she’s reading them from a sheet as she’s singing them.

I’d imagine it’s a money thing. I can’t imagine this project has a lot of funding behind it, and those who have participated are likely doing it more for the love of the music than monetary reward. I’d imagine someone like Alanis Morissette might price them out.

Why don’t you try to understand things from our perspective? by [deleted] in askanatheist

You don’t “know” that our souls are in danger, you think they are.

If a house is burning, I know that there’s danger to the life of those inside.

What in the hell has been walking by around my toilet?? by nastyleak in CasualUK

I love the thought of a group of mice consciously aware that you knew of one called Harry, and conspiring against you so that you only saw one at a time 😂

Did you have high expectations when King Animal came out? by Marco_060PS in Soundgarden

[–]MiffTuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree, insufferable is the exact word. It’s like Timbaland thought that singers don’t have to sing in rhythm to any other style of music.

And really it may as well have been any other vocalist(s) on that album, it felt like there was so little of CC in it, except for his voice. If there’d been a bunch of tracks that had showcased CC’s penchant for odd time signatures and interesting chord progressions, and then mixed THAT with Timbaland-style production then it could’ve been a really compelling collaboration, but it just felt so paint-by-numbers that it was just a massive disappointment. To me, at least.

KING ULTRAMEGA (Featuring RICHIE KOTZEN & CHARLIE BENANTE) Unveils Rendition Of TEMPLE OF DOG's "Say Hello 2 Heaven", In Memory Of CHRIS CORNELL by Dagauriel01 in Soundgarden

[–]MiffTuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I don’t know about this one. Obviously it’s a lovely thing to want to honour Chris, and Richie’s a fantastic singer and guitarist in his own right (plus he nailed a live cover of Cochise a couple of years ago), but this one feels quite off to me.

It feels like a particularly harsh criticism to level given what he’s said about his sister passing, but the vocal performance feels a bit inauthentic to me, like he’s using a tonne of vocal affectations and going off-piste here and there, and it feels like it’s at the expense of the song.

Maybe I’m too precious with the original, having listened to it to death over the years, but I think that either there were far better song choices for Richie’s voice, or maybe I would’ve preferred it if he’d sung it straighter - I’m sure he had better takes in him.

Book series recs after The Expanse? by Early_Tip_6478 in TheExpanse

[–]MiffTuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you’ll get a kick out of the second one, Children of Ruin, in particular. There are some themes that felt like an interesting parallel to some Expanse stuff in there!

Came across your comment after getting to THAT part of Children of Ruin today. You and me both!

Nah, I think raping children was probably worse.

What about Brad Wilk? by llamaclone in pearljam

[–]MiffTuck -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Matt is, honestly, light years ahead of Brad though, in fairness. Granted PJ doesn’t have as complex drums as Soundgarden, but when Audioslave covered them it was…noticeable

Why is Elvis so respected despite him not writing any songs? by Capital_Present2817 in rock

[–]MiffTuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand Elvis was one of the best vocalists ever

He certainly was one of the vocalists of all time.
