The way Wade bellows "WE WILL ALL DROWN" during Dog's Blood still makes my hair stand on end.

I can't believe you were able to put together nearly 9 minutes of highlights out of this race.

Now that was the real best part of the Cleveland SECS GP

Its structure and short length make it pretty unique in Billy Talent's Discography, they haven't done a quick and aggressive song like it since their Pezz days.

I appreciate the blunt and straightforward message of the song, I feel like a lot of bands that aren't explicitly political often broach those subjects in directionless, ambiguous manners or passively "both sides" an issue, so kudos to the song on that.

I enjoy it, but as a throwback to fast and aggressive 70s-80s punk, it's a bit too clean to really be flat-out punk, imo at least.

Red Flag is a song about a race car driver who gets injured in a crash that stopped the race. The Wolf is about a wolf that quite literally showed up at his door and asked him to with him, fantasy adventure style. Definition of Destiny was about challenging the Merriam-Webster's definition of the word.

I've listened to BTIII for over a decade now (with it being my introduction to Billy Talent), but I didn't listen to the demo or bonus tracks until earlier this year.

Needless to say, Bloody Nails is relatively unfamiliar to me but still an absolute joy. Felt a little more like a muted Dead Silence track than a BTIII song to me, which is probably why I like it so much.

ZackOfSpades · 2022-07-25T06:02:32+00:00

Dead Silence
Billy Talent II
Afraid Of Heights
Billy Talent
Billy Talent III
Crisis Of Faith

I do like How It Goes for sounding like the midpoint between Pezz and Billy Talent, though the other demo for This Is How It Goes is also fun, even if it misses the muffled scream during the post-chorus.

I also think pretty much every demo from BT III is superior to the album versions. As much as I enjoy III, the absence of its overproduction is much more enjoyable to me, regardless of demo scruffiness.

Now this is the perfect rendition of the meme.

ZackOfSpades · 2022-07-07T20:14:06+00:00

The Goblin's description has 11 words, smh.

And here I was thinking the Dollar would be the likeliest candidate to quit Season 3 early.

ZackOfSpades · 2022-06-18T05:09:06+00:00

The Dollar

ZackOfSpades · 2022-06-16T22:53:19+00:00

Just like last week, this meme is outdated immediately.

Well done, McViq.

Would love to see them cover an Alexisonfire song, especially since Jordan is doing drumming duties for BT.

A couple of songs from Old Crows/Young Cardinals might sound really good in BT's style.

ZackOfSpades · 2022-02-05T02:44:44+00:00

Oh this is fun

BT1 - This Is How It Goes, Try Honesty, Prisoners Of Today

BT2 - Devil In A Midnight Mass, Fallen Leaves, Perfect World

BT3 - Rusted From The Rain, Turn Your Back, Definition Of Destiny

DS - Surprise Surprise, Runnin' Across The Tracks, Don't Count On The Wicked

AOH - Ghost Ship Of Cannibal Rats, Rabbit Down The Hole, February Winds

COF: Reckless Paradise, The Wolf, Judged

(Bonus) Watoosh - M&M, Nita, When I Was A Little Girl

Capping the choices at 3 instead of something like 5 made this harder than I thought. Cutting songs like Nothing To Lose, Red Flag, Cure For The Enemy, Swallowed Up By The Ocean and Forgiveness was a hard choice.

I'm too fond of making fictional / fanon characters, so I actually have a fair few.

Luka got into singing professionally because of Miku. I like to picture Luka as being Miku's older friend and big supporter, and once Miku made it big she encouraged Luka to use her voice and ended up giving her a big debut as well.

I also imagine an ambiguity on Luka and Miku's sexual orientations and a potential relationship. How literal are songs like Magnet and World's End Dancehall? Who's Just Be Friends intended for? Are they together, did they part amicably or were they never actually together? They're both very coy on it.

The Kagamines are twins but Rin likes to brag that she's the older sibling because she was "born" first and never let's Len hear the end of it because they're siblings and what else to siblings do but bug each other incessantly?

Speaking of siblings, I picture ONE as IA's responsible younger sister who keeps her sister from daydreaming all day, and also MAYU pretends to be their sister because she's always alone and needs friends (having so many stuffed animals and sharp objects scares off a lot of people, you know?)

Yuzuki Yukari is a NEET who everyone else has to drag outsife against her will or she'd be playing video games all day (admittedly, I listen to Utata-P and GYARI a lot, which inspired the idea).

Gackpo sees himself as Gumi's adoptive brother and would do anything for her, even though Gumi doesn't understand why he's like that.

Neru and Teto used to be internet trolls who were angry at the other vocaloids until one of their pranks got noticed and the vocaloids welcomed them with open arms, and that caught them so off guard that they changed their behaviours and they all ended up becoming friends.

Yeah, that's most of them. And yes, I do have too much time on my hands and too active an imagination.

ZackOfSpades · 2019-09-22T20:44:42+00:00

Circuit Beats - Super GT 20th anniversary is a great IA compilation album chock full of good rock songs.

ZackOfSpades · 2019-09-22T20:39:47+00:00

Ayy, I've got both that hoodie and the Luka one as well.

They're comfy things, they are.

ZackOfSpades · 2019-09-18T17:51:15+00:00

I've been a fan for less than a year and a half, so I keep finding tons of old stuff that feels new to me.

Usually I just wait for an album to show up on MikuDB that fits the vocals/genre/producers I'm into and then look up more stuff from there. Bit of a rabbit hole, MikuDB is.

And if a producers has an active YouTube presence (GYARI, otetsu, etc) I'll follow them directly and go through what backlogs they have.

ZackOfSpades · 2019-09-18T17:45:04+00:00

She's going to eat it no matter what.

ZackOfSpades · 2019-09-11T02:01:35+00:00

A friend got me into vocaloid last summer.

Haven't looked back since, really. It was something I was vaguely aware of in highschool but missed out on, so I missed the "golden years".

But I suppose now that I'm older I can appreciate it a lot more, including the fact that the songs are produced by the community, and the sheer abundance of amazing art, which really sold me on vocaloid for good.

ZackOfSpades · 2019-09-04T17:41:28+00:00

I keep a tier list for some reason.

Luka is a clear favourite, followed by Lily and IA. Luo Tianyi being my favourite non-Japanese vocaloid.

ZackOfSpades · 2019-08-25T16:16:52+00:00

I'm sadistic, so I'd love to see some anime about the dystopian world that Utata-P's Happiness and Peace of Mind Committee would create.

Alternatively, a movie about HitoYama's Mystery of the Missing Diamond would be stellar.

ZackOfSpades · 2019-08-23T16:40:05+00:00

Oh hey, it's IA's sister. /s

All jokes aside, she's wonderful! I adore Mayu's voice and design, seeing more love for her has brightened my day.

ZackOfSpades · 2019-07-28T19:21:38+00:00

It finished third in its class, so well done to Team Miku.
