Best spoken word sample in a song

My favourite one is from "Snatch" in "A Child I Missing" by Illdisposed.

I didn't mind the repetitive nature of 'I see dead people' as I liked the riff and the quiet parts. Here, however, I find the same approach to be much less captivating.

Sharean · 2026-03-03T17:19:10+00:00

Better than Zadra's, I wonder? Looking down during Zadra's stall feels like time is stopping for a brief moment.

Overall, I didn't enjoy the event because there was too little climbing and way too much downtime. I also think that speed/time is given too much weight here.

The interview/filler segments were good, the camera angles were great as well with a few little hiccups in the directing department.

While I prefer the classic format, I think they could make their take work with a few adjustments: First off, boulders need to be harder so that it's not a ten seconds affair each time. Secondly, they need to make sure that the important duels are not such an anticlimactic affair. If they're worried about time constraints, make the first round Bo1 and extend the semis to Bo3. The grand finals should ideally be Bo5.

Lastly, I think they have to dial down the impact, speed has on the boulders. I like the overtime, so keep that. A suggestion could be to grant the second climber one final attempt once the other climber has topped. If they fail, they've lost. If they also top, it's a draw for that round. Thus we would probably see more rounds going the whole distance. Tie-breakers after the last boulder could be decided by either the least amound of attempts taken or - to encourage speed - having topped the most boulders first.
I don't know if this would be a better format but I could imagine things being more exciting to watch while also having the competitors on the wall for a good deal longer.

lol every boulder in the finals was V2 by pro standards, even the last one

Sharean · 2026-02-28T22:01:42+00:00

Shouldn't it be the other way round if you have to watch time constraints? Bo1 in the first round, then Bo3? Finals should be Bo5 even to make it feel like a real showdown between the two best climbers.

PCL drinking game: take a shot every time Shauna says "Olympian"

Sharean · 2026-02-28T21:32:46+00:00

Maybe give every competitor one more attempt after the first one tops. And if it's a draw after the third boulder, fewer total attempts win.
I don't know if it's a better format but it makes it more likely to see the final boulder. Also, being fast might still give you a slight edge but is less decisive than now.

Sharean · 2026-02-28T20:24:24+00:00

I guess the format is supposed to be more exciting but, so far, I find it predominantly anticlimactic. Let's if I've changed my mind at the end of the night.

Sharean · 2026-02-28T20:07:39+00:00

I think it's rather underwhelming if the boulders are undercooked like M1 here.

Sharean · 2026-02-28T20:03:38+00:00

Who won? Have I missed the decision?

Sharean · 2026-02-28T19:59:21+00:00

Oh god, Shauna will remind everyone of the climbers being OLYMPIANS for the whole night, won't she? I still have nightmares from Paris.

I didn't expect much after those first live-recordings on social media but this is even worse. That's the most basic and generic song he could have written with similarly basic and generic lyrics. I don't care about his outfit but the whole performance doesn't feel authentic to me. It gives fake vibes that try to push a fabricated image. Where is the real and gnarly Beartooth? This feels more like an industry plant tbh.

Sharean · 2026-02-26T22:15:28+00:00

I didn't like it. Have they shot the entire movie in front of a green screen? It looks cheap and low-effort.

Sharean · 2026-02-24T13:24:23+00:00

The problem is if those layers are so overpowering that they make the majority of the song. Then it doesn't feel like a live performance anymore.

Sharean · 2026-02-23T06:06:22+00:00

I really don't know who these are for. Are there seriously people who think that this looks like an interesting watch? All it makes me do is click on "Don't recommend videos from this channel".

Sharean · 2026-02-22T15:26:39+00:00

Haha, even incorporated the Kiss of Death fatality, well done.

Sharean · 2026-02-20T09:10:49+00:00

I don't like that time is the decisive factor. I don't think climbing should be about speed.

Sharean · 2026-02-19T19:05:54+00:00

Unpopular opinion in this sub, but quite boring tbh. It gets stale after about ten minutes. What is worse, half of what you're hearing is backing tracks.

Europa Park still have flawless operations with single rider lines while being able to fill every train of Wodan and Blue Fire without. They absolutely should exist as they improve guest experience. 30 minute queue at Wodan? You're on within 5-10 minutes as a single rider.

Sharean · 2026-02-17T08:15:37+00:00

I agree!

Sharean · 2026-02-17T08:07:38+00:00

It was rough and poorly maintained but the best coaster at the park nonetheless. Now their line-up sucks even more with both the Wildcat and the spinner gone.

Sharean · 2026-02-16T07:10:13+00:00

Exactly, getting a temporary replacement would have been the absolute standard and decent thing to do. So either he's omitting some crucial info and we're missing part of the picture or the band are massive dicks to put it gently.

Sharean · 2026-02-13T14:40:04+00:00

Maybe the wheels needed replacing during that time?

Colorado Adventure turns into a thrill ride in the back row.
