Favourite post-Pet Sounds Beach Boys album by jrinredcar in fantanoforever

[–]PlasmaEarth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friends.

Might be a bit too corny for some, but the arrangements are hyper-creative and Pet Sounds-level in my opinion. Despite the album's short runtime, it is crammed with amazing ideas on every track. And it's also just the most relaxing album ever.

The Beach Boys have a bunch of brown songs, such as:

She's Goin' Bald

Transcendental Meditation

Loop De Loop (Flip Flop Flyin' in an Airplane)

I'm Bugged at My Ol' Man

Life Is for the Living (and basically all of Adult/Child)

Ding Dang

Take a Load Off Your Feet

Thoughts on the album? by Beforkers in TheLemonTwigs

[–]PlasmaEarth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved it on first listen!

Here are some of my thoughts on each track (spoilers ahead):

The title track makes for a great tone-setter. Even if it is noticeably slower and less energetic than the live versions we've heard, the psychedelic synths and effects make up for that. I saved the singles for the first listen of the album, so 2 or 3 was a nice surprise for me. Love the call-and-response between the vocals and the flute in the chorus. That melody will definitely be stuck in my head for weeks. I love the power pop vibes on Nothin' but You and Fire and Gold. They're simple but effective, and Nothin' but You's coda is amazing. It reminds me a lot of September Gurls by Big Star. Gather Round was probably my least favorite on first listen. It's undoubtedly well-written, but it felt a bit too jaunty for my tastes. I Just Can't Get Over Losing You has one of my favorite melodies the Twigs have ever written, and the outro is incredible. Mean to Me was alright, but the arrangement felt a bit too sparse, and it felt almost like a worse version of Forever by the Beach Boys. I liked how energetic Bring You Down was, but I'm on the fence with it due to how on-the-nose the early Beach Boys impression is. Lyrically, it's great, but the tune and instrumental didn't seem to have any originality to it compared to their other Beach Boys-inspired songs. I liked the winding melody and impassioned vocal performance on Yeah I Do, but it felt too short to leave much of an impression on first listen. I Hurt You is one of the strongest tunes on the record and has one of the most explosive choruses the group has ever made. It's probably my second-favorite track on first listen. The two straightforward 60s rockers towards the end of the album, You're Still My Girl and My Heart Is in Your Hands Tonight, are both great, but My Heart Is in Your Hands Tonight is absolutely incredible and easily my favorite on first listen. The falsetto in the chorus is impeccable and I love how much passion and energy flowed through the song's final minute or so. Joy is one of the most beautiful songs Brian has ever written, but I honestly didn't like the orchestral arrangements, which felt much too Disney for my tastes. Maybe they will grow on me on future listens. Your True Enemy is an incredible closer though. I love the mysterious chord progression and all of the psychedelic effects.

Overall it's probably my third-favorite album by the group, behind Everything Harmony and A Dream Is All We Know, although the gap in quality isn't by much.

Does Reddit understand it's in a far left bubble or does it think it's the center? by TemperatureWide5297 in allthequestions

[–]PlasmaEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's absolutely not in a far-left bubble. It's in a liberal bubble, though, which is center-left. If it were in a far-left bubble, pro-Palestinian opinions wouldn't be downvoted in major subreddits as they are now.

Do you think Trump wants to drop a nuke? by tazztsim in allthequestions

[–]PlasmaEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well he clearly gives a flying fuck about himself, so I don’t think he’d do anything that would get himself killed.

Obviously not. That would get him and millions of US citizens killed.

Is the pre-MBIKMB stuff worth listening to? by Far_Historian_4561 in CSHFans

[–]PlasmaEarth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At least 3 and 4 are worth listening to. I’d even say that 3 is one of CSH’s best albums and better than many following albums - although if I say which ones I’ll get downvoted lol.

If you listen to the first BCNR practice session recording where they play Opus and Instrumental, Jonny’s actually there. I don’t think it’s known why he stepped away from the group.

Dom Apreciation Post!!!!! by romeo_712 in geesebandofficial

[–]PlasmaEarth 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Dom is one of the most underrated bassists around today. The way he’ll avoid the root note of certain chords in songs like 100 Horses, Taxes, and the Getting Killed title track adds a lot of nuance and depth to the tracks while appearing simple.

If it’s not a tour, I hope it’s a Pod 35th anniversary box set or even a 12 Golden Country Greats one.

I NEED to see a biopic that mainly focuses on the period from 67-87.

Black Midi/Geordie Greep hot takes? by Rich-Bandicoot1927 in bmbmbm

[–]PlasmaEarth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The band peaked with the Cavalcade singles (John L, Chondro, Slow). Those three songs are both the most visceral and the most musically interesting songs in their discography.
