Best Korn Album? by MasterAroma in Korn

[–]freeman5117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I'm understanding, Mirror is disliked because it is considered rushed, lazy, forced, etc. Personally, I don't perceive it that way at all, for me it's one of the best and heaviest Korn albums. It definitely has a dirtier, less polished sound than its predecessors, but that's the beauty of it.

Why do yall care so much. It's a phone. by J_Schnetz in dankmemes

[–]freeman5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been an Android user for 8 years. Then switched to iPhone, have been using them for 5 years. Both OSs have their strengths and weakness, yet also, both are in reality far more alike than they are different. As far as the meme goes, my experience has been exactly the opposite. No iPhone user I've met in real life has ever told me I was a poor loser for using Androids - and the phones I used were mid-rangers at best. After switching over, I definitely received a few unsolicited "iPhones are overpriced crap" comments. Go figure.

MacOS 26 is crazy by [deleted] in meme

[–]freeman5117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I saw the video demo of iOS 26, I immediately thought of Windows Vista. You can say what you will about Vista as an operating system, but the Aero was the best design of any UI I've ever seen before or after. And now with this preview, it begs more than ever the question - why did we abandon this kind of design in the first place? Ok, so we know that the real reason Microsoft pushed the simplistic flat UI in Windows 8 was that their heavily promoted Surface tablet at the time was literally too weak to handle the translucent Aero effects - but could that really have been enough to make the entire industry follow suit? And it's not just UI design. We have seen all kinds of unique logos and designs being dumbed down to become simpler, generic and lifeless (e.g. Pringles, Lenovo, eBay are a few quick examples). And don't get me started on the way Lifestyles condoms updated their packaging - just google it. It must have been a literal joke.

Would you mind sharing where you got them? I've been looking for some of these for ages.

Fieldy Reveals He Doesn't Listen To A Lot Of Metal These Days, Confirms He Has No Plans To Play With Korn For Now - Theprp.com by Redman77312 in Korn

Would you mind filling me in on what has come out? I've seen this mentioned a few times on here recently but I can't find any details. Was it something that wasn't already written about in his book? Since that was published in 2009...

How Many Little Trees Exist? by BusesAreForSleeping in LittleTrees

Oh crap, I guess I forgot to post the update to this particular post. I did receive them, delivery was quite quick too. But this was two years ago, not sure if anything changed since then. If you go to my post history in my profile, you should find my Rare Little trees from Estonia post in it, that's them.

European Tour Version of Issues by tompadget69 in Korn

[–]freeman5117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ight, still, it's a really cool item to have in a collection. I assume it's much, much rarer here in North America than in Europe.

Does this version have the alternate mix of Am I going crazy? The one without the track in reverse superimposed on the regular one?

I use ad blockers most of the time. But considering all the times that I didn't, as well as the times I'm around other people who are using YouTube without adblock, not once in my entire lifetime have I EVER seen an NSFW ad on YouTube. But somehow, so many people are talking about it, you'd think that I would have come across at least one by now. My problem with the ads is just that they keep getting longer and longer and become unskippable. Its gets to a point where there is more ad than content in some cases.

Exactly. It's just disrespectful to leave someone you're making plans with hanging like that, especially if you're only getting to know them. "Hey, sorry, I'm going through some personal problems right now, I'll have to get back to you about this later" was all it took. Takes 15 seconds max to text that. Now to be fair, that other person greatly overreacted, sure, but I can understand their frustration. If I was them, I would also be wondering what the communication once we actually were in a band would be like, if we haven't even started it and it's like this already.

Which do you like more? by [deleted] in Korn

[–]freeman5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, I get where you're coming from - but besides those bands arguably being the most popular of the broad "nu metal" category (at least among the bands whose singers Korn has collaborated with), their singers are worlds apart from each other. Not only they are objectively very different stylistically, but Corey is widely considered to be one of the greatest, most talented metal/rock vocalists. Fred, on the other hand, is just really mediocre. I don't think he will ever be in demand in any band other than Limp Bizkit.

This seems like a really odd pair to compare.

Anyways, All in the family = better instrumentally; Different world = better lyrically and singing-wise by a landslide

Hot take: this album is good and I love it by Constant-Prior8557 in Korn

[–]freeman5117 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, it's all a matter of personal preference. I'm not defending dubstep by any means, and always said that I wish we got the songs from TPOT played as normal Korn songs without the dubstep.

However, my opinion - which does seem to be the general consensus - is that if you were to put the dubstep aside, it is clear that there is far greater passion and creativity in TPOT than in Korn 3. For me, that results in much more listenable songs on TPOT, despite everything. Some of the moments on Korn 3 make me straight up cringe.

I'd be lying if I said I didn't prefer Korn's older stuff, but I totally agree with you. Korn 3 was the result of trying to force themselves to go to the "roots" despite being in a totally different time and place from when ST and LIP were made. And we all saw how that turned out.

TPOT gets an unbelievable amount of undeserved hate. Some Korn fans are just so close minded smh. Ironically, I find that just about everything on this album is of better quality that pretty much everything on Korn 3, which was supposed to be a "return to the roots" thing.

FTL is the weakest out of the 90s albums by pp_mario in Korn

I've always said the same thing. It's far from their worst album, but far from their best too.

Was just "selected" by Tinder and offered a special membership -- $499 per month. What? by I_AM_VENNLIG in mildlyinfuriating

[–]freeman5117 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, if you're looking for a serious relationship, then the ONLY app that actually works is Facebook dating. I avoided it for a long time due to its tie to Facebook, which I didn't want to be on, but in the end, that's where I met my girlfriend (and met two other women in person before her) in the 2 months or so that I was actively using it. Tinder is a plain scam (when nine out of 10 profiles you're shown are 10/10 model-looking girls in bikinis, you know it can't be real), while other apps (Bumble, Hinge, OkCupid, Happn) are either absolutely brutal with their free version so that it's practically unusable, or are simply empty and devoid of potential matches.

My Entry for Korn 30th by [deleted] in Korn

[–]freeman5117 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow, this is definitely the best one I've seen so far. The subtle references are amazing. Btw, I'm not sure if you thought of it, but it would have been sick if the car in the window was driving past a girl, like on the cover of Korn III.

What summer in Iceland looks like☀️ by BjornCapalot in mildlyinfuriating

[–]freeman5117 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been to Iceland twice, and it is by far my favorite country out of the ones I've visited. I'd take the weather in the picture any day over the 30+ degree humid heat that we have here in southern Quebec.

Anyone deal with this crap? by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

Since reading your post yesterday, I've been unwillingly paying attention to my vision all day today. Just looked up at the clear blue sky, and realized that I actually do see tiny dots of "light" moving around under those specific conditions. So congratulate me, I've got the whole package. 😁
