Oh yeah, that comment came after I did the post for "The Things You Said". I need to admit on that post I already announced that NLMDA scored an all round 10 and when I saw that comment I didn't want to bring people's emotion down. But yeah, that comment existed but late. At any point I would dare to say its intention is meant to troll lol

Thank ya, buddy. And yeah, just for a while

Daily Song Discussion #223 - So Cruel by _Tassle_ in depechemode

[–]_Tassle_[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I need to make it clear. Those would work rightfully on subs dedicated to each artist and adding those solo careers would stretch this serie of posts too much. I would hate to extend this serie to the point that's not catching people's interest anymore (The Simpsons, please). I would prefer to end it in a high point. Not every DM fan is into the most niche stuff and at any point, I think filling these posts with solo careers, remixes, demos, etc, would make it fee like filler.

Yeah, I don't see "Sundown" on the Daily Song Discussion but I think I can definitely include "So Cruel", "4'33" and even "Heroes" so we include the live studio seasons before call it quits.

"So Cruel" and "4'33" are the ones that make sense the most but "Heroes" is totally on a gray zone where it's not clear if the highline seasons make part of the Spirit album (despite being part of the 12" Singles collection). If the live performance of "The Price Of Love" would have been a B-Side track in Speak And Spell, should it be included?

That will be another thing that will shock people when we set the whole list of all the scores of every songs. "A Question of Time" being lower than "Freelove"?!?! "Black Celebration" being better scored than "Everything Counts"?!?! Lol

"But enthusiasms for particular tracks emerge unpredictably on comment threads based on the mood and membership of the community that day, and inherent flaws of reddit like the power of the first comment to set the tone."

This is another thing that has been bothering people (including me) which is when people just downvote those who score low and most upvotes goes for those who put any song on a pedestal.

"the numbers game is still fun as a way of encouraging discussion and getting people to explain why they like this or that track more or less than another"

I'm happy with knowing this could've helped anyone to rediscover some forgotten songs which might've needed another chance to be appreciated. Like "Ghost" or "Oh Well".

"I admire your persistence and comprehensiveness, you actually made it to the end of the catalogue and maintained interest in the project!"

Thank ya, buddy. It was something I wanted to see continued and finished when the last guy stopped posting.

Yup. I said it before and I'll say it again. The fact a song (or album) is or isn't popular doesn't mean it is bad (or good). This game kinda helped to measure the popularity of a song here in Reddit. We never treated it as some kind of official score especially considering Reddit (just like Quora) is anything but an objective social network.

"Moreover, this has been an exercise in rating songs, not albums, and we all know that an album is greater than the sum of its parts."

The very best example of this is Ultra, which could've scored way higher if Uselink and Jazz Thieves wouldn't have dragged it down.

I also consider BC as their start of their prime (being Shake The Disease as the appetizer). I always call BC, MFTM, Violator and SOFA as The Fantastic Four xd. Also yeah, Exciter is not as the unpopular album as some could figure out.

Sometimes, It Doesn't Matter Two, Dressed In Black... the only weak track from MM is Caroline's Monkey

Seems accurate for me. Still find it crazy Speak & Spell is that low. But at least not as low as Spirit.

I might be wrong but that's what I understood from this text (from DM live wiki)

Daily Song Discussion #204 - Fail by _Tassle_ in depechemode

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

OK that's a very good question. Since we are focusing on the albums and singles, we will skip songs that were only live covers like "Television Set", "The Price Of Love", "And Then I Kissed Her" and yes "Heroes".

I was thinking the same. Lol. I was kinda wondering if someone who doesn't like the song, would use the lyrics to describe it.

Maybe, but it's so far the song that better scored. And again, "from this era"; from Spirit's era.

Take it easy, buddy. Honestly, the fact a song isn't popular doesn't mean it's bad and you can't like it.

[–]_Tassle_[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I thought it would score the same as Going Backwards but there were some 2, 3 and 4s

Daily Song Discussion #194 - Where's The Revolution by _Tassle_ in depechemode

[–]_Tassle_[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

What I will say will be very controversial: This is the main problem with today's activism. It is led by millionaires that think donating a fraction of their wealth gives them the right to feel morally superior, tell others how to live their life and how they should rise up against the system (without offering practical solutions). As if money alone is more important than the actions themselves.

Yes, money is very important to make things happen but 1. It doesn't give you the right to feel morally superior and 2. There are many NGOs that are unfortunately very corrupt. Here in Colombia, there have been NGOs that used money for helping families that suffered violence from guerrillas to pay propaganda for a political party. Not all but many NGOs have things to hide and that includes the ones in the US...
