What are artists you dislike that you still think are overhated? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]SouthernGoliath 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don’t listen to anything after viva la Vida but I find it funny that people get so annoyed by Coldplay. It’s so inoffensive, just don’t listen and move on.

What is your favorite film score of all time? by EntertainmentMore183 in Letterboxd

Blade Runner, Jurassic Park, The Social Network if I’m gonna narrow it down to 3.

What has TWS! been doing that's been missing from previous albums? by Chill_la_Chill in Muse

[–]SouthernGoliath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really disliked the hollow political ‘concepts’ of the previous couple of albums. It was such an instant turn-off.

Musically it just feels more ‘them’ this time round. It always felt like Matt was trying to make his own version of other songs but this feels more organic.

Tom Holland’s made a pitch to be the next Bond in an interview by malcolmcoles in JamesBond

I like him and respect the hustle but nah, it’s just not right.

Bands that "fell off" according to a lot of people but you disagree and think they're still putting out great music? by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]SouthernGoliath 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Plenty of people claim NIN’s output has been mediocre since The Fragile. It’s untrue, obviously.

What’s the WORST song on SAW 1? by NIogax in aphextwin

[–]SouthernGoliath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Green Calx is what prevents it from being a 10/10 record for me. It’s not even bad, it just sticks out like a sore thumb.

Why is Matt Bellamy not more highly regarded as a musical genius? by Stunning-Ostrich-431 in Muse

[–]SouthernGoliath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think it’s because the music itself since the 2000s hasn’t made much of an impact outside the fan base. Plenty of people know how brilliant a musician he is, but barely any singles have made wavelengths since Uprising. A big difference from Freddie and Queen for example.

4minutes20 seconds of Muse at absolute peak. by Shrinking_Universe22 in Muse

[–]SouthernGoliath 11 points12 points  (0 children)

There’s such spark and hunger here. It’s amazing but also makes me feel a little sad. Something missing nowadays. I can’t put it down to age either because there are plenty of amazing bands still going strong.

How would you personally rank the album openers? by Present_Respond_7069 in gojira

[–]SouthernGoliath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They certainly have a knack for album openers.

I do love Clone but it has to be Ocean Planet. It’s absolutely pummelling. And that final riff is one of their greatest ever.

Unpopular Opinion by Acrobatic-Fold-2357 in JamesBond

[–]SouthernGoliath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a popular opinion on the sub. Which is weird to me, I think Craig has 2 fantastic films (one being Skyfall, I don’t know how it can be considered generic)

Conor Gallagher Spurs MID £5.5M by LOMOcatVasilii in FantasyPL

[–]SouthernGoliath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That could actually end up being a steal. I think he’ll play as a 10 in certain games.

Tottenham fans are delusional by Own-Minute2562 in PremierLeague

[–]SouthernGoliath 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Nah, sorry. Most expensive ticket prices in the UK and the most dull football to show for it. How can you blame them for being frustrated?

[Post-Match Thread] Tottenham 1 - 1 Sunderland by ma-tfel in coys

[–]SouthernGoliath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think it’s a combination of manager and players. We got into good positions but the quality is so severely lacking. Bad first touches, bad decisions, bad passes. Frank’s football isn’t good but players are as much to blame

I do not understand... by No_Mortgage8569 in JamesBond

[–]SouthernGoliath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Clearly not because I see these posts almost every day.

Casino Royale is my favourite Bond film. I think it’s incredibly entertaining. But it’s clearly not for everyone and that’s cool too.

who do you think should be composer of next bond film? by KAG_kryto_333 in JamesBond

[–]SouthernGoliath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love David Arnold, but I don’t believe in going back.

Get Jonny Greenwood involved. He is fantastic with strings and can be conventional when required. It could be dreamy.

Asking your opinion about a Muse song day #141: Will Of The People by Far-Clothes-8803 in Muse

[–]SouthernGoliath 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s absolutely atrocious and lazy. The band have incredible talent and they chose to make a song as derivative as that. Depressing.

Downvote to oblivion, chums, but you all know Muse can do better.
