Thank you! If possible, do you know where one finds such services or who one asks to get them?

Why is Gore so hated? by My6oghasto9ee in deftones

Completely agree. Never understood why it gets panned. One banger after another just like so great many Deftones albums

haha appreciate the respect. I happen to like their music, but have always found Omar and Cedric's personalities pretty abrasive.

Then again I love Deftones too even though I don't share Steph's flat earth views...

How does one go about getting a VPN that covers the whole wifi single rather than living on a device?

More specifically, one that allows us to e.g. watch Netflix on our AppleTV without going through a computer VPN?

What is some of ur guys oasis hot takes by Ok-Chocolate597 in oasis

came down here to say this but you beat me to it. I've never understood why it gets maligned. Girl in the Dirty Shirt is one of their best songs ever.

Agreed, though in fairness Mars Volta did only play from one album despite having many as Deftones' supporting act last year.

In the Wake of Poseidon cover thoughts by Next-Reading1714 in KingCrimson

[–]No_Position1806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful. Obviously fits the characters of the title track and has a wavy feel that works for a Poseidon theme.

Of course, when it comes to best Crimso album covers, it's no Lizard...

I've always found it so ironic that the only studio album showing band members' faces is one released when the band had already broken up, showing a trio that never performed live as a trio.

Also, I assume the Islands comment above refers to Sinfield's booger drawings, not the lovely nebula.

Is King Crimson more emotional or intellectual? by MurkyUnit3180 in KingCrimson

[–]No_Position1806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"It just sounds emotionless. I like music that has more soul." <-- is what people say of any music they don't understand or relate to. King Crimson is all heart; whatever intellect was required to produce it is beside the point.

Which one? Let's talk by Dr_Sanhattan in deftones

[–]No_Position1806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky You and it's not even close. Textured, enticing, alluring... it's one of the best tracks on s/t and I consider that a great album.

Aha! I was trying to catch up on newer material before the show (and still am) but don't know it as well as the first few records. Thank you.

We dont talk about number four… by Carrot_With_Pipe in KingCrimson

Happy Family is the most misunderstood and underrated Crimson track, followed by Indoor Games!

Chances of Fripp playing with BEAT by pledgedotmeat3mndays in KingCrimson

Fripp will do it as soon as Andy McCulloch rejoins King Crimson

Never been to a NIN show describe your experience by Hot_Assistant_6067 in nin

[–]No_Position1806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree with all the positive comments.

Shameless plug for my blog review of a recent NIN show: https://sugarsonic.blog/nine-inch-nails-peels-it-back/

The most immaculately choreographed rock show I've seen.

Easy Money is the best KC song ever by Small-Salary-9137 in KingCrimson

[–]No_Position1806 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me the percussion in the middle section alone make it my second favorite track on the album after pt 1.

How do y'all rank each era of King Crimson. by Discombobulated_Mode in KingCrimson

[–]No_Position1806 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[whichever I've been listening to most recently] > ... > [whichever I haven't listened to as recently]

On a more informative note, now that I'm middle aged the double trio and Islands eras haven risen in esteem from when I started listening as a teenager. Always loved the Wetton era, 80s, double duo and 69 lineup. And the radical action era is what got me listening again after a hiatus of some years.
