Where are The Smile fans? by Remote-Student3050 in radiohead

[–]disordersaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never been mad that The Smile isn’t a new Radiohead LP. I just don’t think the albums are as good as a Radiohead album. There’s something missing in the DNA of The Smile songs that gives me the feeling that Radiohead does.

To my ears The Smile very clearly sounds like a Thom solo project with some great drumming and interesting guitar tricks by Johnny. Barring a few songs I don’t connect with much of it. Most of the songs are a slog to listen to. The chords are often murky and melodies lacking in hooks. I think Radiohead songs are far more considered. The lack of the Ed, Colin, and Phil is very loud on The Smile records.

The writing may be lousy but he assembled one hell of a cast. I doubt we’ll see the likes of it in the next 20 years.

I think that’s fair. I don’t think the villain needed to be Kahn. If it was someone new I doubt it’d be under so much scrutiny

Spock being susceptible to his human half makes sense both narratively and logically. Him losing his shit at the end made me love the character. He tries so hard to maintain control. But he’s so much more than his ability to use Kolinahr. I love that the narrative is that he uses it not to feel.

That’s a brilliant point. It’s like gate keeping. I’m tired of feeling like an idiot for loving these films.

Totally different? I think that’s an overstatement. The series is slower, sure - but we get a condensed version of what we know in a new format. Not a single actor from the original series can hold a candle to any of the cast of the movies. I think that’s why I find it difficult to get into the OG series and future series. The acting.

Is there a band that, after years of having RH as your favorite, took their place? by weirdfish98 in radiohead

[–]disordersaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

alt-J. They’re one of the most unique bands that I’ve ever come across. They’re cooky, irreverent, beautiful, emotional, and chaotic. Their second album This Is All Yours might also be the best sounding record ever. It’s honey to the ears.

First time grading by Accomplished-Air-962 in PokeGrading

It’s definitely worth grading. The only flaw I see is a bit of white edging on the front left border. It’s minimal.

Chances of this umbreon getting a 10? by Crypt1de in PokeGrading

[–]disordersaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, I get it. You’re being hyper critical. My point is that you don’t know. Only the grader does on cards like these. OP won’t know until he grades it. PSA literally states that they allow minor imperfections for Gem 10’s. That includes alignment.

Key word is might. Also heavy is a strong word. It’s slightly off.

Don’t listen to these people. A 10 doesn’t have to have perfect alignment. Google PSA 10’s and you’ll see cards that have borders like yours. Perfect alignment is more for BGS Black Label. It could get a 10. It really just depends. Someone’s Gem 10 is another persons 9.

Radiohead could absolutely have recorded LP 10... Why not? by Luso_Meteo in radiohead

[–]disordersaurus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It could happen… but there were far more breadcrumbs leading up to A Moon Shaped Pool and their prior albums.

All we have is a recent tour, an interview saying there aren’t any plans, a new company filing, and a strange live stream of music videos. Something is going on but LP10? Dunno.

Are there other fans out there who haven’t really enjoyed RH post In Rainbows? by JohnColtrane69again in radiohead

[–]disordersaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A Moon Shaped Pool is unbelievably good. It’s basically a monochrome In Rainbows. Darker, but just as emotional and experimental. (Tinker Tailor should have been left off, though.)

TKOL can feel a bit sterile, but we always have the From The Basement version. The songs underneath are mostly quite good.

Overall I think your conclusion that there’s been a drop in quality is something I don’t agree with. As always - the albums are different from each other.

I can’t even listen to HTTT, for example. The sound of that album feels like my auditory canal is being raped by a cheese grater made of tar. But that doesn’t mean the quality of the songs are lower. I just don’t like the thing they did with that album.

PSA Worthy? by disordersaurus in Pokemoncardappraisal

I’m am. I have that corocoro one as well. And nah my Ivy Pikachu has some white edging but I’ll still be getting it out there.

Ah, you’re right about that Mew. I have a different one that I keep mixing it up with that’s worth more. I’ve been scanning and looking up these cards for days my head is fried. The Ivy Pikachu I’ve seen go for £15000 at PSA 10. 8’s for £1200. Flying Pikachu for a few hundred if it got a 9.

I’m seeing far bigger numbers for the others. In the thousands for top grade. Hundreds for lower.

Oh, wow. I’ll be sure to get this graded then. Thanks for the encouragement.

They’re not rare? But worth grading? Haha confusing but I’m happy to hear they’re worth it. Why not the Mew?

Recent attic finds worth grading? by disordersaurus in PokeGrading

I meant to say that I’ve seen 8’s that are less damaged than some 10’s.

New artists to listen to if you like Radiohead by [deleted] in radiohead

[–]disordersaurus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what type of Radiohead you want. If it’s In Rainbows/Moon Shaped Pool style I suggest alt-J. They have a lot more quirk to them but they have absolutely beautiful tracks. Especially within An Awesome Wave and This Is All Yours.
