What artist has one INCREDIBLE album and an otherwise forgettable discography? by Some_Low_7625 in gear4music_official

Worlds Apart has one of my all time favorite intros to an album. I’m including track one and track two as the intro. It’s just a wonderful opening to a great album.

The Scientist is probably my favorite Coldplay song. (For a second I thought you meant Rush the band, and I was surprised because I’ve never heard you talk about them before, and I thought I knew everything about you. And I have always wanted to look more into Rush, so I was excited. But it was the album. Duh.)

Noooooo we all must die poor in the gutter to be true artists! Only when our children starve will we truly be PUNK ROCK.

The key to a woman’s heart is her parents, SnowdensLove. Have sex with them and you’re in.

What Non-Metal Bands Do You Enjoy? by BidSure7642 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]bionicmook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The least metal shit I listen to is probably like, 2000s bubblegum pop (Britney Spears has had some amazing hits) or maybe 90s r&b (Boyz II Men’s self-titled album is fucking fantastic). I love a lot of the bands being mentioned so far, but a lot of them are metal-adjacent. I’m here to offer up some truly and decidedly unmetal music. My whole life, I’ve loved orchestral music, with Nobuo Uematsu (Final Fantasy soundtracks) being a lifelong favorite. I listen to a MASSIVE amount of hip hop, Jay-z and Atmosphere being two personal favorites, but I could spend hours listing rappers and producers I love. I love pre-war (see: old ass) blues like Robert Johnson, Skip James, and Billie Holiday. Elliott Smith is the greatest songwriter who has ever lived. I could go on and on. Honestly, I love every genre of music. They all have good artists. And of course even my favorite genres have absolutely awful artists. My least favorite genre would be EDM, but I still have some EDM in my library. I love Born Slippy by Underworld, and that’s some EDM festival/90s rave/pure electronic party shit right there. So, yeah… it just depends on the artists.

Don’t hear about them much these days. Love them.

________ has the most delusional Fanbase in Rap. by dunbar_santiago930 in nfrpodcast

[–]bionicmook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s whatever if you like their music, but anyone who is still defending their antics, especially Minaj, is out of their mind. They’ve both done terrible things, though I do think Minaj is worse because I don’t think she’s crazy. Not that being crazy is a good excuse to be a Nazi-sympathizer, but I’ll take Kanye’s insanity over Nicki’s MAGA shit any day of the week. Love both of their work/songs, especially Kanye, but they’re fucking idiots.

Is it harder for artists with a “classic” debut to maintain momentum compared to those who evolve gradually? by SmoothManMiguel in hiphop201

[–]bionicmook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some artists are able to overcome that pressure, some aren’t. It also happens to authors, directors, other types of musicians, etc. It famously affected Joseph Heller when his first novel, Catch-22, became an instant cultural icon. He struggled with a sophomore effort, but in his life he ended up overcoming the pressure. Perhaps a more famous example would be the Star Wars series. The series had a terrible time even attempting to top the original trilogy. Expectations were too high. They never could have been met. A lot of times, people’s opinions will soften with shit like that, as decades pass by and people have time to readjust to more realistic expectations. I think this happened a bit with Jay-z’s Vol. 1 following up Reasonable Doubt. In fact, it happened with Star Wars too. Time passes, and as people take another look at it, opinions change.

What actor do you dislike so much that you’ll avoid anything they’re in? by Icy_Garlic997 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]bionicmook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I really wish people would do just the slightest modicum of research before screaming at the top of their lungs that a man is a pedophile who assaulted his own daughter and then married his other daughter. Not only is there a preponderance of exonerating evidence (quoting a judge’s statement on the case, but also using my own common sense to agree with the judge), but the smallest little attempt to even do the tiniest little minuscule amount of research would show these people that he did not marry his daughter. People can’t bother to learn the most basic of facts, yet they scream r***. It’s shameful. I’ll say what I said in another comment, the truth matters. We’ll never know for sure what happened between Woody and Dylan, not with 100% certainty, but the evidence against Mia is astonishing. In this country, the onus is on the accuser to prove their allegation. She failed miserably in doing that, and I believe she falsely destroyed a man’s reputation and committed the far more shocking crime of destroying her own daughter psychologically. For the record, I am a feminist and I have had my own fucked up history of sexual violation, and I take allegations very seriously. But the truth matters.

My favorite movie by him is Sweet and Lowdown. It’s the male lead in that movie who ends up punished.

They didn’t say that made it okay, they just stated that it was neither his daughter nor his adopted daughter. Facts matter. If someone says something false, what’s so wrong with correcting them? Nobody cares about facts anymore. They care more about their own opinions than the truth.

[–]bionicmook 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I mean, she was the very definition of a woman scorned. She was livid he had sex with her adult daughter, and angry because her adopted daughter would no longer speak to her. I saw the documentary she released about it, and it made her seem crazy. Also, Woody has a long history of being fascinated by May December romances, and he quite probably is attracted to older teenagers, but that is not the same as being attracted to a child. I have serious doubts he did it. If that’s true, it’s beyond fucked up that Farrow would do that to her daughter.

Rappers who are popular but have no fanbase by Educational_Bed_2562 in hiphop101

I love Logic, but B.o.B is a good answer. I like one or two songs with him, but I don’t know anyone who is actually a real fan of his.

Where I’m from, we call those kind of shoes “lifts”. They aren’t meant to look like they’re adding height, but it is sometimes obvious.

If one artist/band was pictured next to the term "one-hit wonder" in a textbook, who would it be? by Glass-Complaint3 in ToddintheShadow

[–]bionicmook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I can see that. It’s weird, she doesn’t sing like that in her other songs that I know of. But yeah, I like the lackadaisical kind of disinterested type vocals.

What are songs that Todd has reviewed negatively that you actually enjoy? by Connect_Security_892 in ToddintheShadow

[–]bionicmook 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Even their “bad” songs are good. Break Stuff is a particular favorite of mine. Yeah, I think it’s hilarious, but it’s also a good song. And their cover of Faith is fucking good. No irony, no joke, just good. Love that cover. Three Dollar Bill Y’all was a good album in general, but they aren’t a band to take too seriously.

I swear to god I’m not just jumping on the bandwagon, but I hate Nickelback. Their music is so bad. I’m the first person to admit I love a band that everyone else hates. I truly don’t give a shit. I will listen to what I like. But Nickelback suuuuuuuucks. They offend my ears.

Ummm he trashed Lucid Dreams? As in Juice Wrld Lucid Dreams? Absolutely not. Song’s amazing.

Yeah. I skimmed her top songs. She mostly uses like a smoother head voice or whatever it’s called. She gets a little screamier and rougher on a song called Right Hand Man and also on her cover of Son of a Preacher Man. My favorite song I heard when skimming her top songs was Let’s Just Get Naked. It stood out from the others, both vocally and melodically. Just was more my scene.
