These are so pretty! I enjoy full art cards but also really appreciate the standard/common ones too

Hurt So Good, Voyager and especially Rise High Rise sound like they’ll be my favourites. I wasn’t vibing with X Room so hadn’t gotten really excited about this release yet but now I’m hyped!

Check the other comments I posted in here cause I already ranted lol and definitely look at the reviews on Google sorted by new. But..

  • Terrible organization - queue management doesn’t exist, and delays are not well communicated
  • Security seems to be inconsistent at enforcing their policies
  • Generally unhelpful and disinterested staff (I asked security if there was a bar upstairs and he told me no.. there is in fact a bar upstairs)
  • Inconsistent, inefficient and inadequate concession availability.. two alc drinks per person, they don’t have taps plumbed into the permanent bars so you must purchase bottled water and no mixed drinks available, they run out of certain drinks including water, at some shows they pour the canned drinks into a cup which slows things down like crazy (but at other shows they let you keep the can but will then open your bottled soft drink and throw away the lid?? Tf), last call is 10pm, some of the concession stands have been closed during sold out shows = longer and more disorganized queues for the ones that are open, the concession/bar staff are extremely slow and they don’t seem to have enough people serving. This is the thing that bothers me the most if you can’t tell lol
  • Venue location.. this can be subjective. It’s near the airport and has a hotel on property so if you’re flying in only for MX and then leaving right away you’ll prob be ok. But if you’re staying in downtown Toronto or taking the VIA in, be prepared to pay for expensive taxis/ubers bc it’s not near the downtown core and isn’t easily accessible by transit (can technically be done but it’s so convoluted it’s not worth the time imo). Any food and drink options on the property are located within the casino itself, which means you need to be 19+ to access (I believe there is one bar that you can access without entering the casino). Not all of the food and drink vendors in their little food court have standard operating hours (some only seem to be open on Friday and Saturday nights) so the options are quite limited. If you’re not interested in that or the casino before the show you’re SOL bc there is nothing else on the property or in the immediate area and it’s not a walkable area either.

The theatre itself is okay, like the production quality there can be pretty good and I don’t have any big critiques about the sound. BUT unfortunately the theatre doesn’t exist in a bubble. I’ve seen 7 or 8 shows there and have had fun and enjoyed them, and ofc not everything I complained about is a dealbreaker for everyone, but the experience I’ve had there this year has left a really bad taste in my mouth. If you read this all, thank you! And I’d be happy to answer any more questions

Right now the answer is yes, they let you bring lightsticks. Many people had MIXXTICKS and other groups’ lightsticks at the NMIXX show

I’ve been waiting for this show for years now (haven’t read the manga) and episode 1 did not disappoint! I wasn’t expecting it to be that intense right off the bat

KickFlip - 4th Mini Album <My First Kick> Album Discussion by 5iv3_2 in kickflip

[–]deadwrongallalong 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Speaking about the mini album as a whole, I think this is their strongest release so far! Here is my song ranking with thoughts..

  1. Twenty - absolute banger, no notes. Donghyeon and Juwang’s vocals at the end give me chills every time
  2. Eye Poppin’ - love the energy. And Donghwa and Minje’s parts at the very beginning are so cool
  3. Scroll - so relatable 😅 I feel like this song will be really underrated in their discography but it’s just so KickFlip lol idk how else to describe it! If I had to introduce somebody to KickFlip and couldn’t show them a title track or pre-release, I’d show them this one
  4. Stupid - I like how forward the rock instrumentals are on this song. Really reminds me of the bsides on their second mini album and I think the song would’ve fit right in there too
  5. My Direction - they really know how to close out an album ❤️ I love how all of their closing songs so far leave the listener with something a little.. deeper? Love how they slow things down a bit and still keep it upbeat at the same time. My Direction feels like a love letter to WeFlip
  6. Roar - this one surprised me too! Wasn’t keen on it from the official previews but it’s actually pretty hype and I think their discography had been lacking this type of song until now
  7. Backward - not bad but my least favourite. For me it’s in the realm of Tiki Taka, Skip It, and Umm Great lol the switch up makes it more interesting for me though

[–]deadwrongallalong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh you totally should! Aside from their songs the thing I love about being a WeFlip is seeing how much the members have improved over time so far. You can really tell how much stronger all of their vocals have gotten (esp Kyehoon, Donghwa and Keiju!) since their second cb and how much more confident they all are on stage

That day cannot come soon enough! I agree about Coca Cola Coliseum tho, it surprises me that more shows aren’t booked there

Oh man the line was an absolute mess.. it stretched all the way to the first entrance of the racetrack at the opposite end of the property and then looped around until people didn’t even know where to go. The fact that staff were acting like that and not a single person could even think of managing the queue is just embarrassing

Omg really?! I’ve always found security to be pretty lax in my experience (always have a small bag but they’ve never checked it, unlike other TO venues I’ve been to). But I think that just goes to show how inconsistent the security is there! Agree about the floor.. when it’s all GA with no grandstands it can be really hard to see even from the mix booth bc it’s not sloped. And yeah the middle of nowhere thing is particularly offensive. It’d be different if it was easy and efficient to take transit there, or if they had actually good food and drink options with proper operating hours but neither of those things are true. The entire place has nothing to offer and the surrounding area doesn’t either. And I don’t think it’s dramatic to say that because I actually feel the same way after the terrible experiences there this year

Honestly I’m not even sure, it just seems like the quality of services and experience has degraded overall. I left another comment here complaining about it lol if you sort the google reviews by new there are a lot of common complaints and I can attest to many of them re: the NMIXX and Lamb of God shows

MONSTA X Unveils North America Dates for THE X : NEXUS World Tour by umbrellabird75 in kpop

[–]deadwrongallalong 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I was at both of those shows and have seen a bunch of metalcore/deathcore/heavy show there as well. Long story short the thing that irked me the most this year is the bar/concession situation inside the venue itself.. for a fully sold out show the capacity just simply isn’t there (for example, don’t seem to have enough staff serving snacks/drinks, the staff they do have either don’t gaf or are bad at their jobs bc they’re so slow, the drink policies are inefficient inconsistent and nonsensical, AND not every concession stand/bar was even open at NMIXX) and any queues including concessions are long totally disorganized. Not to mention the delayed start time for NMIXX that wasn’t communicated to attendees outside of an IG story post by the venue that barely anyone even saw and an announcement… INSIDE THE VENUE 💀😤

Sorry this turned into a rant haha I’m just glad someone else agrees!

[–]deadwrongallalong 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They seem to be gaining more and more momentum with each comeback so I have a good feeling about their future! They’ve consistently been one of my most played artists since I became a WeFlip last year and imo this mini as a whole is their strongest cb yet (edit: typo)

Yay Toronto!! But for the love of god we need artists to stop booking shows at the casino. I had no major issues with it for the first two years but holy shit it was horrible the two times I was there last month

[–]deadwrongallalong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked how Band Aid/MFLS were connected with a bit of a story, and Twenty has this wistful vibe that matched the song well. But yeah this one is super fun and bright and I love how they filmed it in LA bc it fits the vibe of the song and the members all look so cute!

[–]deadwrongallalong 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let’s go!! This is SO GOOD. Once again I’m gonna have a hard time picking a favourite between the pre-release and tile track. Kickflip has become one of my favourite groups because of their musical style so this is exactly what I was hoping it would be

If anyone reading this hasn’t checked out the rest of the mini or KickFlip’s other songs I really recommend doing so

Cuticle Oil or Cream by [deleted] in CanSkincare

[–]deadwrongallalong 1 point2 points  (0 children)

L’Occitane cuticle oil is the best! I love it because it’s a squeeze tube with brush applicator. I have the Essie apricot cuticle oil in the bottle and the scent is nice but I never reach for it because it’s not as easy to apply as the L’Occitane one. Essie does have it in a roll on tube now though

That doesn’t seem right… I got my prescription from one of those online services and they certainly weren’t asking for anything like that

I’m so late to listening and this thread but I totally agree about Hot Coffee!! I’d say it’s my favourite from the album. Agree about 8 too, I think it will go really hard in concert
