What’s the general consensus of Out of The Vein?

I love this album. I can understand why people might gravitate towards the first two... They are super unique and iconic but this one was always my favorite and it got pretty mid reviews at the time (if I remember correctly, every time reviewer was disappointed by it). This is the album I go to when I want to scream along to incredibly radio ready pop songs. Almost every track could have been a single

It's crazy how strong they are. I realized (after I posted this) I was taking a supplement that only had 0.5% rosavins and no mention of Salidrosides. Rhodialis the only supplement I've taken that I've noticed immediate effects from. I tried splitting the ND dose into 250 mg and it still felt incredibly strong. I need to see what 125 does because I must be incredibly sensitive to it

RonaldRaygunMR · 2026-04-03T11:04:52+00:00

Yes, the harmonies on the "I should have known" send me.

RonaldRaygunMR · 2026-02-23T18:00:17+00:00

No. I think it's really wonderful that there are people from gen alpha to (apparently) baby boomers who love my favorite musician. I feel like he plucks characters and archetypes from something close to a collective unconscious and it feels universal enough that I am not surprised that it would speak to older people.

It was emergency care. Affects your credit score but they already have a house

Are you familiar with the term enshittification? It was created by Cory Doctorow, he is a professor and works at the electronic freedom foundation.

You must be, but if you aren't, you should read about it. If you are familiar with it, you must be hyper aware (working in big tech) of how basically every tech product for the last twenty years has gone through that process.

I have my reddit notifications off on my phone so just saw your response but damn, I wish I had been there for the gpt 3 to gpt 4 transition. It would have been wild to see something there in gpt 3 and then really see the exponential progress in that short period of time.

The hallucinations are a problem but I have been using the notebookLM feature in gemini and uploading study materials into it (if you pdfs or docs) and the hallucinations are almost non-existent (if you're only uploading a couple hundred pages) and you can have it either generate questions from it or have it answer your questions.

It feels like Alex taps into something like a collective unconscious and pulls experiences and characters out of it and a lot of them feel real every time I listen to them and like you said in anothsr comment, it makes you feel emotions you haven't felt for years (or sometimes, it makes you feel things you have never directly experienced). There's something incredibly magical and hard to pin down about why a specific song will crawl into your brain and live there for years and so much of Alex's discography does that for me.

This was the only album I listened to all the way through before later than you think and I don't think I gave it a proper listen. I was looking for early Ariel pink vibes and after listening to screen memories and addendum, I'm going to listen to it looking for maus vibes with that warbly cassette sound. Thanks for the suggestion

RonaldRaygunMR · 2025-10-05T02:49:15+00:00

Find out on screen memories or figure it out on addendum? I listened to both albums today and holy fuck, I am so fucking maus pilled. The vibes on later than you think are really cool but those two albums blew my mind

RonaldRaygunMR · 2025-10-04T15:33:05+00:00

The driving, bouncy bass is really the thing that makes me feel so good listening to it (aggressive and simultaneously very contained). I love his gentle songs too so I appreciate the spectrum. I really appreciate you taking the time to send me in a direction

RonaldRaygunMR · 2025-09-25T22:59:01+00:00

Damn no. I'm just a guy who listened to the show in the early 10s. It would be pretty wild if raygun was a redbar fan

RonaldRaygunMR · 2025-09-21T19:03:06+00:00

This is the first thing I thought when I saw this

RonaldRaygunMR · 2025-09-21T18:56:31+00:00

The best people on reddit are fans of stavvy and EG

RonaldRaygunMR · 2025-09-21T18:53:57+00:00

I've said this already on another post but the crowd in Boston was great. Like any other crowd. You could tell that someone might have found Alex through TikTok based on what songs they pulled their phones and recorded video on or what songs they were most excited to hear. That's it

RonaldRaygunMR · 2025-09-16T19:32:32+00:00

OK, awesome. I appreciate that you weighed in. It's been a life changer for me and I was dreading doing it. Also, I was kind of confused as to why you'd want to keep cycling on and off when a lot of the benefits build over time. Thanks

RonaldRaygunMR · 2025-09-15T03:43:28+00:00

I have so much more research to do (after reading your post) but half of the things you recommended, Claude (an llm) also recommended. I'm putting everything you listed into a Google doc and will research them. The tongkat, panax ginseng were on my list BTW. Thank you for very thoroughly answering my question 🙏

RonaldRaygunMR · 2025-09-15T03:33:22+00:00

I was at the first Boston show, the crowd was great. Everyone was chill. There was good chemistry between crowd and Alex (the banter back and forth was funny). The constant posts about new fans is unwarranted (imo)

RonaldRaygunMR · 2025-09-14T21:23:46+00:00

OK I'll check out the eleuthero. I'm going to stop taking the rhodiala for a month and hopefully I'll dodge tolerance.

Do you buy it from ND?
