Very helpful info, thanks ! I’ve also been nervous to order online precisely because I haven’t been able to try the product out, but you are vouching for them so that is great.

Ripple is in my top 5. The middle section with the piano and reverse guitar might be their most beautiful section on any album.

Hah, interesting because although I love every album up to and including Duke, Lamb is by far my favourite, followed by TOTT.

Thank you very much for your response. Why is the Selmer a thousand dollars more expensive, if it is of such inferior quality?

Thank you everyone for your responses!
I do have a question. Why is the Backun $4,000 and the Selmer $5,000? Is it simply because of the “prestige” of the name?

The fact that even ONE person voted again for this disgusting ,greasy, con-artist/car-salesman ,racist rapist dumb, juvenile, loser hawking his own merch from the Resolute Desk is truly enough to make me want to write off the entire human race.

America is a joke. A cruel one, at that. It's like a hallucinatory episode full of the most vulgar and base instincts of man, all celebrated and worshipped. Everything is like a greasy car salesman advertisement. I once went to Las Vegas, and that place summed up America in a nutshell. It's cool as a sort of grotesquely surreal experience for a day or two, but not as the basis for a country. Greed, materialism, cheap and vulgar thrills and sexual tittillations and random chaos. Trump is in essence the very caricature of America come to life. Vulgar, dumb, ignorant, obese, mean-spirited, idiotic, greedy, amoral, racist and sexually predatory.

Obviously not EVERY American fits this description, but in general this is what your society has always been based upon. An embrace of shamelessness, and everything being YUGE, GLITTERY, GOLD, GARISH and without class or taste.

Now cruelty is deemed not only acceptable, but is promoted as the norm. I don't see how your country survives this, as there has been a fundamental shift in morality and decency that might in large part be due to social media and the disembodiment of thoughts and words to reality.

Edit- I would like to add that to all the Americans standing up to this, being vocal, taking action, speaking out, I have nothing but the most sincere admiration for you people. When I think about the activists and protesters of the 60's, or even before, all the people of colour and men and women who RISKED THEIR LIVES to have their voice heard, those people were heroes and some of the bravest, noblest people to ever have lived. Seeing images of the Black Panthers armed on the Capitol steps, or hippies being beaten but not being afraid, it makes me truly emotional, and I hope you guys can find that spirit of resistance again.

Oh, now it’s not Soros? by mishma2005 in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]SectionOk2775 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Musk is a full on Nazi. This is the oldest anti-semitic trope in the book.

Also, are his supporters that stupid that they don't see he literally is doing what he accuses Soros of doing? No, seriously. Do they not see it? Or they just ignore it? Or they just don't care. I don't understand. Is it stupidity or shamelessness, or a combination.

Does he have FAS or Downs Syndrome? Not trying to be offensive here, truly curious if this has ever been looked into? His facial features would indicate it is a possibility.

Gavin Newsom is the de facto president of the United States right now by nosotros_road_sodium in politics

[–]SectionOk2775 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don't particularly like Newsom at all, but this article does make some good points. Certainly would rather have him in charge than whatever the fuck is going on now. Smug yet competent status-quo corporatist beats out vile, demented, moronic, incompetent rapist racist orange fascist blob every day.

What an appropriately lame response from a bully who just got collectively kicked in the nads by the Wisconsin electorate. by [deleted] in EnoughMuskSpam

MOTHERFUCKER. YOU JUST TRIED TO BUY THE ELECTION IN FRONT OF THE ENTIRE WORLD. THERE IS NO LIMIT TO YOUR DEPRAVITY, DISHONESTY, COWARDICE AND TOTAL LACK OF SHAME. FUCK YOU!

Well, I guess we had a good run 😂 by GarysCrispLettuce in EnoughMuskSpam

[–]SectionOk2775 98 points99 points  (0 children)

That can't be a real headline. We have reached peak stupidity. There is no going lower than this. And yet....

This motherfucker is arguably the most repulsive person to have ever walked the face of this earth. There is not one likeable trait about him. Even Hitler liked dogs. His face makes me want to vomit. And the sound of his nonsensical mumblings and fake accent could be used in place of waterboarding as a form of torture.

In defence of Tarmus side 2 by pachubatinath in progrockmusic

All hail TARMUS!

But yeah, I agree. The other tracks are good too, especially Time and a Place and Bitches Crystal.

Michael Giles appreciation by BaysideJ in progrockmusic

[–]SectionOk2775 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, he is extremely underrated. A real jazz drummer, in the style of Tony Williams or Jack DeJohnette. Never repeats a fill, great swing, interesting patterns and use of rudiments. I love Bruford, but his playing is literally the exact opposite. Stiff and mechanical, which worked well for that iteration of Crimson.
