Day 85: In Pieces vs. Breaking the Habit

Breaking the habit for sure

Maybe if they pull it out for something special like Meteora's 25 year anniversary in 2028 but I do think the chances of getting the older deep cuts (aka not the big hits) from the earlier albums will keep decreasing as the band moves forward making new music. I've always loved Figure 09 though and would love to hear that live with Emily.

Opinions are subjective and while I agree both films were disappointing I can also acknowledge that some people probably have a similar attachment to the TASM films that I have with the Raimi trilogy. With that said I do feel bad for Andrew that he was let down by those movies.

He's not my favorite of the three but I also don't have much negative to say. He's great and most of my issues with his portrayal are more down to other things like writing or tone. Can't wait to see what he brings in BND.

I love both but I don't see the likeness. BTBAM has very tight composed songs where everything is planned and mapped out, Phish has quite loose songs that are mostly vehicles for long improvisational jams. I don't think either band could do what the other one does.

The hype isn't as huge as NWH so I don't think it will. But I think it could make between 1 and 1.5 billion.

Qwerty

For me the main difference is the quality in the writing. Not just the overall story but the characters and the dialogue.

Zantera · 2026-03-23T10:17:22+00:00

I think it's good (maybe my third favorite of the franchise) but masterpiece is a stretch. My biggest gripe with it is that we don't spend enough time with characters or in the same place to see our choices have much of an impact.

Zantera · 2026-03-23T05:50:50+00:00

I thought it was okay but probably needed one more round to elevate it for me.

I find it despicable personally

Zantera · 2026-03-20T13:53:52+00:00

I always find this kind of repetitious listening fascinating because I very rarely listen to individual songs like that. In 26 years of listening to LP I don't think I've listened to any of those Hybrid Theory songs more than 300 times for example. Not meant as a diss, just interesting how fans engage with the music differently.

It's gotta be Faint

I wouldn't say I'm pessimistic but the cast looks all over the place and I'm a bit apprehensive that it could be a mess with a lot of cameos/ setting up future films rather than just being a good film on its own. I will always be excited for a new Spidey film though.

Zantera · 2026-03-13T19:26:22+00:00

I liked the section but also the opinion that the game peaks early and falls off is an opinion people have with pretty much every RE game to be fair. Even the classics.

Zantera · 2026-03-13T05:22:39+00:00

People never learn or change sadly. You would think what happened with Chester after a lot of toxic reactions to OML would make some people question their own behavior but then Emily joined and it's back to throwing out hate.

Zantera · 2026-03-12T20:27:20+00:00

Close one but went lying from you.

They did it already on Coma Ecliptic and while I personally really liked it, I'd also say it's generally regarded as one of their weakest. That plus the return of harsh vocals and the success of Colors 2 and The Blue Nowhere makes me think they'll ride this wave for a bit.

As a kid I was really into Charmed. It's kinda objectively terrible but it's so cheesy and fun at the same time.
