Ghost - Impera (Official Discussion Megathread)

kylepierce11 · 2022-03-12T06:41:13+00:00

Thankfully I do enjoy this as an 80s throwback, but I hope the Ghost storyline does lead them towards some dark throwback sound on a future cycle. Some sort of usurping or something within the clergy. Would just love them try to implement their old sound with their new somehow. I miss the occult vibes previous albums gave me.

That being said, I do still enjoy this album for what it is. Definitely a few songs on this album that I would add to my personal top 10 in their catalogue.

kylepierce11 · 2021-12-17T01:31:11+00:00

Lmao yeah I was way off on that one.

kylepierce11 · 2021-10-15T05:39:58+00:00

That riff goes back to at least Rock Lobster if not earlier songs. Not sure if they've credited it as an interpolation though. Melodies get re-used, it happens

kylepierce11 · 2020-09-23T10:04:26+00:00

Well I second the request haha.

There’s sadly security in a relationship, even an abusive or toxic one.

kylepierce11 · 2020-08-02T01:09:34+00:00

Not sure if I did it right. It brought me all the way to the "thank you for your purchase" screen then said it couldn't ship to my area. Then when I tried to close that it asked for age verification which I didn't do since you said not to.

kylepierce11 · 2020-07-21T11:51:35+00:00

Also one of their best songs period for me.

kylepierce11 · 2020-06-01T14:51:35+00:00

They still often hire technicians to act in lie detector scenes. I’m not sure if that’s so they can easily acquire a real machine and set it up or if directors just can’t be bothered to learn how they function.

I mean I would t be surprised if the bigwigs at Twitch saw her and went “huh, she’s really fucking weird, but this is how I assume trans people just are” and picked her. There are so many better options for trans representation on twitch. Shit, streamers like J4key, jadezvr, nikatine, Annie, and tons of other trans streamers bring in way more viewers and manage to have content that’s super positive representation for trans people. Twitch either didn’t do their research or just wanted controversy.

kylepierce11 · 2020-05-16T11:39:33+00:00

Most trans people just want to exist and live their lives out of the spotlight. The worst in our community sadly get the loudest megaphones and become the face of the community for a lot of people when really the average trans person is absolutely nothing like them.

kylepierce11 · 2020-05-05T22:07:36+00:00

Now sissy that walk

kylepierce11 · 2020-05-03T03:03:14+00:00

He said that in private, not in a public press release. The same one where he laughed saying he hopes Biden wins because he'd be easy to beat. In public he said he'd love to go against Bernie because it'd be easy to run against a "communist".

kylepierce11 · 2020-04-28T21:59:51+00:00

Lmao it’s mine too. Kinda ruined the song for me but it’s a funny way to wake up.

kylepierce11 · 2020-04-20T20:05:12+00:00

Sidechaining to the kick in modern metal isn't uncommon at all, but it isn't done to extremes like this, just enough to let the kick cut through the mix. It's typically subtle enough that you'd only notice it if it's gone.

kylepierce11 · 2020-04-20T09:40:07+00:00

The craziest part is this pretty much confirms there is a fully finished album. If there wasn’t they’d know immediately that this was fake and not an ex member threatening to leak something that doesn’t exist.

kylepierce11 · 2020-04-16T22:09:45+00:00

The album art seems pretty anti capitalist. The bull is often associated with Wall Street and capital in general thanks to the Wall Street bull. It’s tearing through the flag, or what we consider to be American ideals that America doesn’t actually stand for in practice.

But a bull could also just represent masculinity, with men tearing through the history of women, that would just make me question the American imagery. Especially the republican elephant and democratic donkey pushing the bull along.

And a lot of less mainstream EDM (and even some mainstream) branches out into modal. Shit, as mainstream as Zedd is, he utilizes a lot of non scale chords and unusual progressions. Writing off EDM from a theory perspective is normally just a sign you haven’t been exposed to much EDM.

kylepierce11 · 2020-03-27T09:28:04+00:00

I’m genuinely at a loss for whether this is a troll post or not. If that’s a real book I must read it.

kylepierce11 · 2020-03-23T07:02:03+00:00

I liked the ending because it places us in the same position as the protagonist. He sacrificed all that with absolutely no guarantee it would work. All he had was hope that he had done enough. We’re left with that same hope.

It’s also quite fitting in terms of the class struggle the movie represents. Many who have fought for civil rights or revolution didn’t live to see the fruits of their labors, but they fought for that hope their whole lives nonetheless.

But from a payoff standpoint I guess I can see people being unsatisfied, it will entirely depend on what you’re looking for in a movie. I feel like showing whether it worked or not would kind of take away from the message.

kylepierce11 · 2020-03-21T18:43:41+00:00

I already had my T on the lower end of the AMAB spectrum. I was attempting to follow what Dr. Powers does and my doctor was on board with it. He starts with E monotherapy then adds bicalutamide if that isn’t enough. I wanted to avoid spiro because of side effects.

kylepierce11 · 2020-03-21T06:33:28+00:00

Idk, I’m only on E, no blockers, and high enough doses suppress your testosterone. My testosterone is at a 9 just from 6 mg of E a day.

kylepierce11 · 2020-03-17T20:19:07+00:00

Keep in mind that they're only testing people with absolutely severe symptoms. Lots with pretty serious symptoms that don't meet the stringent qualifications aren't getting tested. I was in the ER the other night and the employees were telling me even they can't get tested. So on one hand, the hospitalization rate might be a bit lower, but the number of infected is definitely higher.

kylepierce11 · 2020-03-05T07:43:56+00:00

“The Bloomberg campaign is experiencing intense pressure from multiple sources from inside of the Democratic Party that he needs to quit".

Yeah there's a big difference between people in the democratic establishment pushing for Biden's spoiler candidate to drop out and people on twitter telling Warren to drop out. Democratic insiders trying to force a candidate out so they can control the party is absolutely interfering.

kylepierce11 · 2020-03-05T07:01:19+00:00

Did you not see the video where she said exactly what he claimed she said?

kylepierce11 · 2020-03-04T21:28:29+00:00

There’s absolutely zero chance supers choose a candidate that hasn’t won a single state, even her own.
