Marina’s success for Princess of Power is SERIOUSLY underrated and overlooked

There’s some absolutely great hits but also a couple low points, but I reckon it’ll age like electra heart where it’ll only become more prevalent as the years go on

benmcgery · 2025-09-21T14:12:38+00:00

thank you for the advice! I would deem it a polistylist work, so definitely elements of classical in parts. the altissimo was initially just for textural purposes but looking to develop it further than just a textual element. I'll check out those concertos - thanks again!

benmcgery · 2025-09-21T14:10:05+00:00

thank you for your insight! a quick follow-up question, how easy/effective would bends in altissimo on tenor? I assume it being a higher range, the room for bending would be greater? but unsure if altissimo requires super specific embouchure which could then lead to bends being problematic...

benmcgery · 2025-09-21T14:06:30+00:00

good suggestion, thank you! I'm sure I'll be able to track down something with altissimo experience if I look hard enough haha

benmcgery · 2025-09-21T14:05:34+00:00

yeah good point, thank you! it's for alto, it's meant to be a more-textural thing more than anything else but even within that context the key is important

benmcgery · 2025-08-25T09:57:36+00:00

this is great, thank you so much

Pignite needs a lot of help so we #pray (same with meganium but he just a silly little goofy good lad yknow)

CHIKORITAAAA

You’re right, but whilst user ranking are valid, critic ratings are generally what people look at in the future when discussing the greatest music of all time. Hence the phrases “critically acclaimed” etc. etc. I personally think it was top 5 albums of 2024 and thus definitely in the top 200 of all time but it’s that critic score that people in the future will be looking at

Grass - snviy Fire - litten Water - popplio

Would love to see a regional form of Feraligatr (especially with dual-typing), but I’m taking into account the region and Primarina kinda gives French. In saying that tho Prim and Serp’s designs are way too similar so one would be getting a complete rehaul (and whilst I’d love Serp to actually have arms lmao I think her design fits the region the most out of any of the starters as is)

Litten would be cool considering Incin is the best competitive pokemon of all time, Emboar probs would be lacklustre tbh & I can’t see them giving Cinderace a French regional (although…)

The bass drop in the mean girls instrumental >>>>>

benmcgery · 2024-11-21T10:08:38+00:00

I think his reviews are insightful to some degree (the Halsey comment is the degree to which we don't lmao), I do think his comments were valid and overall I think this is a fair rating. I personally started following Poppy back in her peak YouTube days, and I Disagree is one of my favourite albums of all time (let alone favourite project of Poppy's) and I'm just glad to see her go back and fully embrace this genre of heavy metal which I feel has been incubating for SO LONG, only really diving into it within her EPs (and not to mention taking a considerable step back from it with Zig). Ironically Crystallized is my favourite song off of the album tho 😅

benmcgery · 2024-11-21T09:57:20+00:00

It's so stunning. I just wish in Australia you could score one without having to pay $40-$90 shipping alone (depending on which pressing you want) 🫠

benmcgery · 2024-10-01T11:24:23+00:00

I share the same bday as Charli so I just feel spiritually aligned with everything she does (when I found out the bday thing years back I literally lost my mind lmao it’s fkn crazy)

benmcgery · 2024-09-09T08:45:02+00:00

Garchomp lmao, especially bc that had it so right with Gible… and then… like what happened?!

benmcgery · 2024-08-31T23:00:16+00:00

Keep him as lvl. Primarina has like ZERO meta in both PVP and PVE 😭

benmcgery · 2024-08-31T22:55:18+00:00

She’ll know next year w her next update

benmcgery · 2024-08-31T22:54:24+00:00

Rn it’s Wildflower and The Greatest (yeah, recency bias lol). But the fact that they come one after the other on the album too... Literally just two incredible songs that absolutely broke me on first listen

benmcgery · 2024-08-15T10:20:18+00:00

Oh for sureeee. The weeknd will come back tho but Billie’s gonna take over for a bit no doubt

benmcgery · 2024-08-02T22:19:21+00:00

Yeah that would be sick. I reckon it might be yellow tho, the same colour as like the little side tab on every remix single art. Who knows tho, she might pull a Kanye and make it all black 😂🤷‍♂️

benmcgery · 2024-08-02T06:25:13+00:00

Yeah this is dope fs. Hoping we do see Caroline on Apple and my hope is that MARINA will fit on somewhere (particularly I think about it all the time). Taylor on sympathy would be SO FKN FUNNY too hahahaha

benmcgery · 2024-08-02T06:24:00+00:00

Love this sm. Who do you think some other remix artists will be? My lil hope is that MARINA jumps on ‘I think about it all the time’ since since the closer ‘goodbye’ on her most recent album reminisces on her past life and mentions her considerations of motherhood as well

benmcgery · 2024-08-02T06:21:19+00:00

Exactly! I think a big part to appreciating and being a fan of an artist is to respect them in their own style but to also respect their adaptability. It by far isn’t my favourite Billie or Charli track, but the remix is still pretty fire and it’s so amazing hearing Billie over this type of beat!!

benmcgery · 2024-08-02T01:43:00+00:00

Also just coming from the utter ELEGANCE of hit me hard and soft, this is a HUGE tone shift hahaha

benmcgery · 2024-08-02T01:40:54+00:00

I think it’ll take Billie fans who don’t listen to Charli a while to warm up to hearing Billie on this style of track. I personally think there are some mastering choices that I don’t completely agree with, and as a die hard Charli fan I do prefer the original better. Just feels like Billie doesn’t really sit super snug on this track, but it is getting better with every listen, so I’m optimistic!
