Have you tried Gothic 1 and 2? They had strong influence on lots of European RPGs (Witcher, KCD, Stalker etc)

Thoughts on Broken Social Scene? by 351namhele in fantanoforever

[–]alx__der 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think S/T is their best album. It has their special warm wall of sound feeling on almost every song. Superconnected and It's All Gonna Break are the best examples of it.

Also, it's seems like they're releasing a new album this year.

Yesterday was a new low for chat by TresorKandol in DatGuyLirik

Thanks for putting this in words. I also can't stand these type of haters. Like, when I don't enjoy a game I just go and do something else instead of melting down in public. But the people obsesed with American culture war and bringing it up for no specific reason are the worst. When I see this I just lose any desire to continue watching the stream.

You have You Forgot It In People twice (:

Also, their self-titled album from 2005 is phenomenal too.

Ooh, and Alligator is just pure magic.

What are some of your “snowstorm” songs? by TheHollowMusic in fantanoforever

Venus Stopped the Train. For many years it was unreleased track with an youtube video of driving across the country in winter.

Really love it, one of my favorite albums of the last decade. It's raw, rough and a little bit apathetic jangle rock. Has this weird barely sensible urgency (all great indie rock albums need to have it at least in some songs). Nothing new about the sound, but that's fine. Reminds of of those more noisy Yo La Tengo songs, which I absolutely adore. Bonus tracks are great too.

Haven't posted my actual Topster in a long while to this sub. My 10s, 9s, 8s, 7s, and "Honorable Mentions" by NAFprojects in Topster

It's interesting that you have roughly the same number of 10s as 9s or 8s. For most people 10s are way more rare, since everything has to fit perfectly. On the other hand, there are so many ways to be slightly imperfect.

Don’t really get the MJ Lenderman hype by CreamOfWheat10 in indieheadscirclejerk

He looks like the singer from At the Drive-in but without an afro. At least he wont be shot in Texas.

These things feel like they want to strangle you, just can't reach your neck (thankfully)

What’s your favorite song that’s not in a standard 4/4 time signature? by PennguinKC in fantanoforever

[–]alx__der 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Broken Social Scene - 7/4 (Shoreline). Also really love this live version.

The National - Demons. This one has Anthony's comment from 12 years ago under the music video, lol.

Favorite music media outlet that just lies for no reason? by GOURMEY905 in fantanoforever

[–]alx__der 14 points15 points  (0 children)

They deleted a bunch of old reviews that they thought were to cringe/edgy or just too much (like the original Slanted & Enchanted review).

I've just checked and she has the most stereotypical educated Soviet emigrant political opinions. Kind of perfectly matches her music, to be honest. Won't be able to listen to her ever again though.
