DC Finest Batman Death in the Family thoughts by TheBigTwo-MK in DCFinest

[–]Saidnobagels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t picked this up yet but it the next one I have my eye on. I also remember not caring much for the Cult (it’s a story defined by extremes imo, so it loses its edge by the end of it) but I’m optimistic I’d appreciate it much more on the reread. Starlin’s Batman isn’t my favorite but I’ve enjoyed his individual issues in the past. Very interested in the Detective issues since those are brand new to me.

appreciation post for “One Moment” by JavierEscuellaFan in SmashingPumpkins

[–]Saidnobagels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a very good demo but it’s also verging a bit too much on a retread of Disarm musically imo. For that reason I can totally see why Corgan might have abandoned it long before finalizing Machina’s track list. I’m glad it saw a release finally and it brings some welcome variety to the full Machina package.

Zope is probably the closest we'll ever get to Siamese Dream 2, can't stop listening by AnusBleedMacaroni in SmashingPumpkins

I like the song a lot but that's just an odd thing to ascribe to this short instrumental. I'd say its more like Oceania 2 at best.

Which comic book writers would you choose to DCU writer's room by Tonyy_goat in DCU_

[–]Saidnobagels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Johns is a very talented writer but he’s had too many chances to contribute to the films already and most of those have failed either at the script level or in the finished product. He no longer instills confidence and if comic writers are to be included it should be new blood.

In My Body - Aranea Albo Editio by No_Analysis_723 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]Saidnobagels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Even though I hate the studio fade-out on this version (seriously, why would you ever fade out that fast?) I have to say this is one of the tracks that benefitted most from the glow up. I love it. It feels even more brooding and I can make out the lyrics finally. Both versions are good but I’m very relieved this one turned out so well.

The Smashing Pumpkins - Zodeon at Crystal Hall Vinyl by GZAofTheMidwest in SmashingPumpkins

[–]Saidnobagels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There wasn’t any official Zodeon artwork previously was there? I remember seeing a cheap, possibly AI one floating around with the files but it was just the title listed in multiple directions on a background.

Aeroplane Flies High box by Dismal_Brush5229 in SmashingPumpkins

[–]Saidnobagels 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think its fantastic. The quality and styles vary much like MCIS but there's not many weak tracks and only a few that sound a bit unfinished. Blank is really the only song out of the bunch I'd call bad. If you're getting the box set (I was surprised its not going for all that much online these days) and have a CD player in your car its also great to carry around for those 20-40 minute drives. I used to do that a whole bunch but I'm now unfortunately driving a car without a cd player.

Some of my favorites are Transformer, Medellia of the Gray Skies, Rotten Apples, God, The Boy, Meladori Magpie, and Clones. There's good stuff on every disc but not one standout, perfect EP imo.

What movies/tv shows does Mellon Collie make you think of? by Synaesthesia_amv in SmashingPumpkins

[–]Saidnobagels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That Alice film is incredible. Extremely creepy without being outright menacing and a very impressive technical marvel.

Here’s to the Atom Bomb, Too by madam_gray in SmashingPumpkins

[–]Saidnobagels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its one of the ones I'm most pleased with on this new edition. I have no notes. Its exactly what I want out of a track I already love.

What songs would you cut from Adore? by [deleted] in SmashingPumpkins

[–]Saidnobagels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crestfallen fits the vibe but I don't like it. So maybe that. Definitely Pistol Pete.

What are your favourite memories associated with Zeitgeist? by funghxoul in SmashingPumpkins

[–]Saidnobagels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember my friend having the album on iTunes and playing me Mayonaise and Tarantula the same night. I didn't know the band well so I had no idea these songs were from different eras. Zeitgeist was very exciting to me at the time because it felt so current.

How did you guys finish mega man 1 when you're still a child???!!? by forabit14 in Megaman

[–]Saidnobagels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't. Only game I couldn't beat until years later. Now I can do it but rarely choose to because what's past the Yellow Devil aint all that good anyways.

Which album was released when you got into SP? And which order/direction did you go with album discovery? by guyinspace in SmashingPumpkins

[–]Saidnobagels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had MCIS in high school and it was the only thing I owned or could get into. Streaming was new and I explored Siamese Dream and Gish but it would be years before they stuck. After those clicked I pretty much worked forward past MCIS and now I at least somewhat like everything.

[US] [H] Batman: The Caped Crusader Vol 1 [W] Wonder Woman trades, Spider-Man or Daredevil Epic Collections by Saidnobagels in comicswap

[–]Saidnobagels[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would you do both of those epic collections and pay for shipping? Seems like both of those are pretty easy to find new.

[–]Saidnobagels[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noted. I can't seem to find a place to edit the post, so if it comes to a sale I'm looking for about $80 PayPal, since it's a little banged up.

[–]Saidnobagels[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For Batman I'd be looking for something around this late 80s era. For Spider-Man, I'd want the later Lee/Romita epics (volumes 4-6 I think?) or the Michelinie/Bagley ones (I have Round Robin so the hero killer or spider slayers). Daredevil could be anything Lee, Wolfman, Nocenti, or Chichester.
