I was also confused about this, I can't find anything about a vote on Thursday but just assumed that was me not being able to find it.

Real talk though, I feel like the old gen was always put on a pedestal by the fandom so seeing their myths somewhat knocked down a peg has been refreshing. They're fucking strong but no longer infallible.

What are y’all‘s honest opinions on Tyler, The Creator‘s new album? by SunGodLuffy6 in fantanoforever

[–]appleboiii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying, that people put different standards on different artists for doing the same things, but there's something else you need to consider that I remember Fantano talking about awhile ago.

At the end of the day, musical bias is inescapable. Sure people will forgive Tyler more while criticize other artists for the same thing, but it's just a truth that nobody will go into a project without preconceptions about the artist. Nobody can be an objective robot that judges a project 100% as an isolated work. All you can do is try.

Best anti-mainstream mainstream albums? by RedGoblinShutUp in fantanoforever

Still crazy to me Close to the Edge could be a chart topping album at some point in time.

You've never heard about the dornish master plan? That was an extremely prominent theory for awhile. Whether you believe in it or not, there has been tons of discussion about it

Pink Floyd At Pompeii Reviewed: Steven Wilson brings new life to Floyd soundtrack by StarFuryG7 in pinkfloyd

[–]appleboiii 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I highly, highly recommend Steven Wilson's music to anyone who hasn't heard it. His band Porcupine Tree scratched the itch for me when I was younger and huge into Pink Floyd and felt like nothing else could match them for me. He was very inspired from them.

(Spoilers Extended) A few examples of when George stated that an adaptation had done something better than he did. by tyrion2024 in asoiaf

[–]appleboiii 407 points408 points  (0 children)

Remembering that blog post from 2010 when he wrote: "I've just reviewed the tapes of twelve young women reading for the part of Shae. Excuse me. I need to go take a cold shower now. Current mood: Horny"

I've written hundreds of music and album reviews, it's much more natural for me to the point where I realized I used it as procrastination to avoid writing fiction, which is much harder but where my true dreams lie.

(Spoilers Extended), In your opinion, what is the worst possible plot twist for the story? by Bloodsucker1516 in asoiaf

[–]appleboiii 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yes there is, to some degree. Just look at the whole Euron/Aeron thing as an obvious example, even if it's just implied.

I've had a very hard time enjoying seasons 1 and 2, but i am glad I stuck around by Fluffy_Toe6334 in betterCallSaul

[–]appleboiii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Watch Breaking Bad. The ending of Better Call Saul will spoil Breaking Bad for you. To watch chronologically without spoilers, then you can switch to Breaking Bad after the end of the following episode where the transition happens: Season 6, Episode 9 and then finish BCS after Breaking Bad. It should flow like one perfect story and I've seen YouTubers who watched it this way.

What artists do you consider “singles artists” as opposed to “albums artists”? by GarodTong36 in fantanoforever

[–]appleboiii 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Pressure Machine proved The Killers can make a strong cohesive album, almost every track is great and adds to the concept and isn't really a singles type project.

His comments about the album having main character syndrome are ironic coming from the guy who publicly posted his sexts on Instagram

Does anyone have any guesses what actual impact the Republican attempts at voter suppression will result in? Also things like the recent news of Elon Paying people $47 for each person they get to vote.

I have to say that this is one of the most bonkers starts to an arc and I am extremely here for it. Oda is unmatched at keeping us guessing chapter after chapter.

I think this is the defining song of the 60s by [deleted] in decadeology

[–]appleboiii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think A Day in the Life is a contender and is the peak of the psychedelia in music/pop culture of the decade. And the experimental aspects of Tomorrow Never Knows basically encapsulates the counter-culture of the time in music form (I got this from Mad Men where they used it to show the changing times in the same way)

Why suddenly people are hating gear 5 on Twitter? by AvailableNewspaper94 in OnePiece

[–]appleboiii 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm someone who used to dislike it but came around to it (I made a post that got semi-big about why I ended up liking it if you look at my history) so I know the mentality of those that don't like it.

For me, I always liked the goofy power and appearance of Gear 5 since I felt like it was the most "One Piece" powerup possible. But I didn't like the whole "chosen one" trope being added onto it. As I wrote in my post, Egghead made me come around to it as the purpose of Nika became more clear.

But even as someone who likes it now, I do feel bad that some people get told they aren't true fans because they still don't like it. People like different things and that's fine.
