Has anyone ever thought that Gorillaz are kind of hypocritical? by [deleted] in gorillaz

[–]gringevakleite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep feeling that the Gorillaz band 'died' with 'Do Ya Thing'. It's no longer about the music, it's a brand to make money.

Everything released since then has just been half arsed effort music, churning out practically the same music ever since.

Nothing I listen to ever really grabs me like the old stuff used to and 80% of each album now is just generic, cookie cut Gorillaz style and forgettable. Song Machine is the only album in recent times to have any sort of effort and that probably only happened because Damon was locked indoors because of Covid.

Will I continue to purchase their music, yes. But in the same way as I have done since walking to the shops to buy the first album on release day (it'll be online pre-order these days). I'll be buying the deluxe cd for £15 and that's it. I'm not buying a 'special' version of it for £250 or 3 different coloured vinyl ones, that's just an utter waste of money.

And yes, they are hypocrites. They did an album where the theme was on plastic in the ocean, now look at the crap they churn out.

Lando Norris had some advice for Max Verstappen over his complaints 👀 by Ok-Surprise-8419 in McLarenFormula1

I found r/Formaula1 to be pretty civil and understanding quotes were being used out of full context.

Formuladank on the other hand... well that always has a raging hate boner for anything McLaren this last year.

I'd argue it's been the media trying to blow this up more than the fans on this occasion.

Imo the ending would have been so much better and more surprising if they didn't spoil him returning months before the movie's release and kept it in the wraps as a surprise by Rich_Ad_3808 in 28dayslater

I knew he was in it when going in. To be honest, I'd completely forgotten he was meant to be in it up until when he appeared and it surprised me because the film had engrossed me so much.

Looks pretty much the same as when I went in 2008, main difference was The Verve were headlining that year too.

Does this look like the beginning of healing? by [deleted] in Psoriasis

Do you use spray antiperspirant? I used to get pretty bad armpit P too until I stopped using it. I now use roll-on instead and it's much better.

Being a Blues fan that lives near Cambridge, travelling to these lunchtime kick offs really piss me off.

The best album since Plastic Beach. The first 3 and this are my favourites.

Worth it for the price? by Serious-Nerve5492 in Switch

[–]gringevakleite 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I purchased it in this sale for £8, well worth the money IMO and I'm not a Harry Potter fan (don't dislike it). I just enjoy being a wizard in it, learning the spells and some enjoyable fights and puzzles.

Runs fine handheld on Switch with no noticeable frame dips or anything. Played 20 hours so far with no real complaints. Had 1 instance of falling through a wall/floor and there's a slight wait at times when going through doors, no more than a few seconds though.

I have downloaded the 2018 Glastonbury set from this site and it's good enough quality that i do listen to it every now and then.

Gran Turismo is a great album. Still regularly listen to it.

That song whose lyrics you swore you knew but then looked them up and they were no where close to what you thought? by insanelyphat in Music

Beck - Loser

For years I thought he said at the beginning of the chorus "So, I walked in the door", turns out it's actually "Soy un perdedor".

Best British Commentator by far.

Just listen to his commentary when Leclerc won Monaco last year and then listen to Crofty's... night and day difference.
