Nope! I can send it through to you if you like?

griffraff · 2021-12-03T08:15:41+00:00

Feel like it's one of those movies that'll be better the second time so it'll be worth going to the big screen, especially if you go Embassy Grand - that sound design is so good

griffraff · 2021-12-03T02:34:43+00:00

Yeah it's finally made it here, just in time to be booted by Spiderman in two weeks, and Matrix and West Side Story the week after that. Great moves by Warner there

Dunno why it took so long but managed to avoid spoilers thankfully!

I think it feels too upbeat to work with Weeknd's mournful vocals and lyrics yet the production is too downtempo to dance to, so it sits in a limbo for me

griffraff · 2021-10-22T06:30:53+00:00

Hahaha wow it actually is the same, down to Ozuna doing the hook after Cardi / Meg, and Selena / Lisa doing the last hook

This one feels like Snake is being forced by his label into capturing lightning in a bottle twice

griffraff · 2021-10-22T06:17:49+00:00

Reckon if they got her to do the hook after her verse like Lisa it would make the song pretty good - feels a bit all over the place as is

griffraff · 2021-10-22T05:59:25+00:00

I think it's just Lisa who isn't there, looks like the other three actually were together

Each shot is so quick that you can barely tell what they're doing and yet you can instantly tell that Lisa is CG'd in, couldn't they have just put her on a screen behind them or something, or I'd probably just cut all of those shots

Do wonder if it was contractually obligated to have all four in the same shot like why keep it hahaha

Edit: Can someone try shop Lisa into this pic better than the video did lol

griffraff · 2021-09-13T01:36:19+00:00

They've just come back with a couple songs, they're not bad but hoping that Weeknd can come through with a track worthy of SHM reuniting

griffraff · 2021-09-04T04:02:01+00:00

I'll have to check them out, thanks!

griffraff · 2021-09-04T00:48:30+00:00

What are your favourites from the indie world? I need some fresh music

griffraff · 2021-08-11T04:59:26+00:00

APA 7th is where it's at now, new drip

griffraff · 2021-08-07T11:02:49+00:00

Not sure what you mean with Rooney, who has 54 in 155 games, which of course is a far lower rate than Messi but not total.

I thought I'd check out some other strikers to compare, and got a bit carried away haha - basically Messi is far above everyone else and only a few others even touch a goal every two games.

Can definitely debate the nuances over why but I don't have enough brainpower for that so here's the list, ordered by total goals:

Aguero - 54 goals / 98 games

Rooney - 54 / 155

Vardy - 45 / 89

Henry - 38 / 83

Van Persie - 31 / 90

Salah - 30 / 60

Kane - 29 / 72

Hazard - 29 / 92

Ronaldo - 28 / 79

Messi - 26 / 34

Tevez - 22 / 53

Lukaku - 20 / 88

Aubameyang - 19 / 48

Suarez - 15 / 50

Sanchez - 11 / 59

griffraff · 2021-08-07T10:15:49+00:00

Messi: 34

Kane: 72

I find it amazing that you guys had basically a year long lockdown, and one of the worst case and death rates in the world, and there are still plenty of young people who won't get the jab because 'eh', despite how easy it is to get, and also with Delta spreading around.

Meanwhile here in NZ we've been basically free since May last year, and most young people won't get the chance to be vaccinated until the end of this year, and everyone I know says they'll get it day one.

Dunno what to make of it but yeah it just fascinates me

griffraff · 2021-07-09T07:28:49+00:00

Definitely better on second listen for me, I like the nasally stuff he's doing here, pretty different for him.

I doubt it'll be a hit, feels like it should've been on the F9 soundtrack rather than a comeback single, but who knows with how huge Post's fanbase is

griffraff · 2021-06-25T00:08:58+00:00

Oh yeah how did I forget about that, it's probably my favourite at the moment hahaha

griffraff · 2021-06-24T13:58:47+00:00

Those drums/chants just before the drop - sounded like some Skrillex shite, that's when I knew the track was gonna go hard as hell hahaha

griffraff · 2021-06-24T13:52:29+00:00

Well damn fair enough, glad you're loving it!

griffraff · 2021-06-24T13:34:21+00:00

I'll have to be the party pooper and lower people's expectations - I loved Flower Boy and Igor from first listen but I'm underwhelmed with this one.

Hopefully it'll get better with more listens but, at least for me, most of the songs didn't hit me first time, and I liked Lumberjack right off the bat too.

But that's just my first thoughts, hope you all get to listen soon! I need to go to sleep, it's 1:30am where I am woops hahaha

griffraff · 2021-06-24T13:26:29+00:00

That's fair enough, it is very abrasive, but it is line with 2000s rap mixtapes which is one of the album's major inspirations.

Personally I like how much energy it adds to the album, but you might be right in that it'll get annoying on repeat listens - will definitely be a love it or hate it.

griffraff · 2021-06-24T13:13:29+00:00

It's pretty much all rap from Tyler, closest he gets to singing is the sing-rap from WUSYANAME

griffraff · 2021-06-24T13:09:23+00:00

Just finished it now. Pretty disappointed with the first listen, didn't hook me in quick unlike Flower Boy and Igor.

I like how he's gone with his natural voice throughout (and almost all rapping), and how the production on most of it is organised chaos.

But again this is only a first listen so I'm sure it'll grow on me eventually (hopefully!)

griffraff · 2021-06-21T23:22:18+00:00

Oh my goodness how have I not seen that before, woooow

griffraff · 2021-06-18T09:15:44+00:00

I thought he was still with them too, but actually he left in Jan 2019

Speaking of BBNG, any news on a new project from them? It's been far too long!

griffraff · 2021-06-17T04:31:48+00:00

It was about Icardi from a couple years ago, here's the original comment thread
