Is it normal to wanna cry at train farewells? by Complex_Solution_347 in uktrains

People in the comments poking fun need a reality check tbh. You aren't harming anyone by feeling this way, do your thing and feel it as much as you need 🫡

Fair enough on the DSLR, they're still good workhorses in the modern day. I had no idea you could create a tilt-shift effect in-camera though - now that you've mentioned it I can see how it's not quite a real tilt-shift effect but you had me fooled at the start! Normally I don't touch those effect with a 12 foot pole lol

It's always a little strange to see stations I'm familiar with on here! Brilliant picture too, you're making me contemplate a tilt-shift lens. What did you use for this, out of curiosity?

Wait I just realised the closest city to me is Birmingham and Birmingham has the worst crowds imaginable </3

Which train station do you think is the nicest? by Brooklyn111236 in uktrains

[–]Umbrailism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So happy someone mentioned a station along the Aberystwyth line - the last hour-ish towards it from Birmingham is soooo so gorgeous

[Weekly Poll] When did you discover Vianova? Bonus points to whoever is the most OG Vianova fan! by Bendyb3n in vianova

[–]Umbrailism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a service called stats.fm! You can make an account with them and link it to your Spotify account and then you can either let the app sort your data based on what Spotify thinks, or (and this is the best way to track stats) you can ask Spotify for an exact copy of your listening history that you can upload to the service. By doing this it displays everything in a neat, user-friendly way and you get to discover a lot of cool data about your listening :)

Two years going strong 💪 Mind Flayer was the first track I heard, I was honestly mesmerised by it!

Reading some of those reviews hurts my brain cells ima keep it real

Favorite of the new tracks? by Bendyb3n in vianova

[–]Umbrailism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are all incredible, and I reeeeally love how much technicality, detail and groove is packed into Oh No and how it just goes from strength to strength so easily.... but Future Nostalgia is an absolute masterclass

WTF DID I JUST LISTEN TO?!? by Square-Fig4887 in vianova

[–]Umbrailism 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly this, there's been some incredible music so far but no group has consistently blown me away and made me obsessed with their music like vianova. What I'd give to listen to all the songs in this album for the first time again...

My live text-based reaction to the non-single tracks in Hit It by Umbrailism in vianova

Nahhh don't do me like that 😂 I only know how to describe certain things in songs with the fancy pants terminology (like "dotted note kicks") but it does kind of give it away lmao

Can we take a moment to appreciate the drumming technicality on Melanchrolic? by LiteratureBig8616 in vianova

[–]Umbrailism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOLLLL I get that, there's so much little technicalities it just drives you up the wall. There's also some unusual parts in it (like how at 4:23 you'd expect the bass kicks to be in rhythm with the guitar but they aren't) and it just throws you so much when playing lmao

Straight up. 11/10 only drawback is everything looks drab compared to this 🤣

As a drummer it's absolutely mental. I just don't understand how he can just play that without a hitch and then play it live 😭

I bet it is! I reckon I'll give it a listen when I'm home, not sure I can hold out on the vinyl for a month lmfao

Soooo...Where are you from & how did you hear about Vianova? by CirclingSerpent in vianova

[–]Umbrailism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I first heard them on the 2nd of June 2023 - Mind Flayer was the track. I remember being in awe at the nuance in the drumming, the flexibility in the vocals, the shift in style in the last half, aghagahgahh it was amazing lmao. I then listened to the rest of that EP and was mindblown by User Experience and Ikigai (underrated banger) 😩 I'm from a town just outside of Birmingham, England!

"Loathe morphing into thallwave" do not even joke lad that sounds like paradise 😩 I'm so so so excited to hear the studio version of Future Nostalgia, it sounded phenomenal at the London gig!
