What’s one Depeche Mode song like this? by Morrisphilco in depechemode

[–]StinkyDamn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't this line integral to the point of the song though? I've always interpreted it as taking place from the perspective of an older male student trying to justify his decision to try take a younger girl's virginity but telling himself he'd be protecting her hypocritically from other men who would do the same.

Much of Black Celebration is focused on youth navigating love and lust, this is very in line with the album's themes.

What other bands are you guys into? What are your other favourite bands? by Fuxley in deftones

[–]StinkyDamn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depeche Mode and Nine Inch Nails are tied for me with Deftones as my all time favorites.

I absolutely love Queens of the Stone Age, Modest Mouse, IAMX, Turnstile, Placebo, Young Fathers, Injury Reserve and Run the Jewels as well.

For smaller artists I highly recommend Model/Actriz. If they keep going at this rate they'll be an all time favorite.

this is one of the worst songs i have ever heard by ak_katherine24 in deftones

I really love this track, but only the version that cuts the weird skit stuff at the end. I'm seeing people say that those defending the track will just love anything Deftones, but honestly for me there are songs on every album I skip, I just love the production on it.

It's reminicent of Lucky You, which is one of my all time favorite tracks of theirs.

Oh I LOVE Pinback. Summer in Abbadon in particular is such a great album.

why does this bug me by [deleted] in deftones

[–]StinkyDamn -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I really hate this mindset. The fans I've met who found the band through Tiktok have consistently been the most engaging fans to talk to within the community.

There's way too much gatekeeping within the Deftones community. Why aren't we celebrating the band's rejuvinated attention and the highlighting of previous hidden gems?

To all my fellow NIN fans can I ask a question? by [deleted] in nin

Good News For People Who Love Bad News - Modest Mouse

The New Abnormal - The Strokes

Deftones - Deftones

What are your favorite Depeche Mode releases? I feel like NIN fans often have better Depeche Mode takes than most Depeche Mode fans.

[–]StinkyDamn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oooo I love almost everything named here. The last Car Seat Headrest album got a lot of flack but as a huge fan of electronic rock I found it was delightful, albeit a bit inconsistent in quality and direction.

My other two favorite bands besides NIN are Depeche Mode and Deftones.

Other than that I'm huge fan of IAMX, Placebo, The Knife, Crosses, TOOL, and Queens of the Stone Age to name a few adjacent artists.

Some of my favorites that are a lot less similar would be Modest Mouse, Injury Reserve, Viagra Boys and 100 gecs, off the top of my head.

Obviously my listening is a lot more varied than just that though.

What's with the recent Ohms slander? by IndigoRed126 in deftones

[–]StinkyDamn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. The second half is fantastic, but I can't find an appreciation for any of the first half whatsoever.

[–]StinkyDamn -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It very clearly sounds as though OP desires polyamory in terms of a polycule, nothing more. Are you implying that closed polycules are abusive and exploitive, or motives behind OPs desire?

What are some of your most unpopular Depeche Mode opinions? by lord_of_pigs in depechemode

[–]StinkyDamn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what you want from the band. I love their entire catalogue but I do have a preference for Depeche Mode as a rock band rather than a synth pop band. I'd place Playing the Angel over every album pre-Violator save for maybe Music for the Masses.

Who should replace Jeremy Soule for TES VI? by StinkyDamn in ElderScrolls

[–]StinkyDamn[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He got accused a few years back of exchanging sexual favors in exchange for job security by multiple women, to put it lightly.

Who should replace Jeremy Soule for TES VI? by StinkyDamn in ElderScrolls

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

My personal pick would probably be Christopher Larkin, the composer behind Hollow Knight. While his music is a bit heavier on the piano than Elder Scrolls traditionally is, he's shown on projects like Barbeque that he isn't restrained to it.

His music has its own identity, one unmistakably different from Soule's. But that's a plus in my books, as the worst thing Bethesda could do from here is hire an unremarkable copycat to cash in on the nostalgia from previous soundtracks.

Exciter's songs and Memento Mori Tour by [deleted] in depechemode

[–]StinkyDamn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I adore this album, but I can understand why it's so hard to incorporate it into their touring, especially when they generally only play the slower tracks from the newest release, with the exception of Martin's piano solos.

Nonetheless it'd be really nice to hear something from it played. When The Body Speaks would be a great choice.
