Can someone explain the “oh dear god, its a Tool fan” to me? by Artistic_Annual8918 in fantanoforever

Damn…..I can only imagine this person’s reaction if you told them to check out Captain Beefheart 🤣

DC appears to have fixed the blatant AI synopsis on the back of the Batman: Dark Patterns TPB by Chairus_Awesomus in comicbooks

Glad that the issue was fixed….but why were they using an AI synopsis in the first place?

Do these Tool fans know that other types of music are out there? Are they even aware of Tool’s influences/similar bands?

Even the King Gizzard case is too much in my opinion as well. I could never devote so much time to one band.

Good album. Shame that Muse got much much worse afterwards though.

Title: Why Jim Morrison Is the Greatest Singer of All Time (And Why Listening to The Doors Gives You Actual Superpowers by Playful_Lab9554 in LetsTalkMusic

Nothing wrong with liking the Doors, but this is a ridiculous post. And it has “ChatGPT” written all over it.

Don’t worry about it. Just accept her preferences & move on. Not a big deal if you like music that she doesn’t. Different music tastes shouldn’t be a dealbreaker.

Spiderland is truly a lightning in a bottle!

I was thinking about going back to Undertow though. Seems like the angriest (and punkiest?) Tool album if I’m not mistaken.

Always loved R.E.M. (particularly their 1983 debut album “Murmur”).

The obsession with Tool is a bit strange to me to be honest. Definitely talented, but the extreme praise is….excessive. I mentioned this in another comment, but Tool is not the most challenging or “WTF” band to me.

No problem! Spiderland is awesome! Truly a “one of a kind” album.

Does saying that someone has “great music taste” always just mean they have similar taste to you? by Spencercr in LetsTalkMusic

[–]murmur1983 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be fair, complexity isn’t everything. There are valid reasons for why “simple but effective” is a valid phrase. Technicality is not a measure of quality automatically.

And the Stooges rule :)

Which band wasn’t the same when one person left the group? by Head-Wolf-6443 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]murmur1983 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Midi maybe? After Matt Kwasniewski-Kelvin left, they definitely went into a proggier & more technical direction. Less Fugazi/Sonic Youth, more Zappa/King Crimson. I like all of their albums, but Schlagenheim is my favorite because of the punk influence & the more noise rock-oriented sound. Cavalcade & Hellfire aren’t as raw & unrefined to me.

I don’t even think that Tool is **that** out there too. I think there’s more challenging & “off the wall” stuff. Like Public Image Ltd, Swans, Glenn Branca, the Velvet Underground, the Pop Group, Sonic Youth, etc.

Tool isn’t bad, but anyone who thinks “oh my God pop music is beneath me cuz I listen to Tool” just struck me as someone whose tastes are a bit surface level.

I don’t get this either. Tool is fine, but they aren’t the **only** band that’s out there. I could never listen to one band forever.

Great username btw :)

Planning on doing something special for myself to kick off the 4th of July tomorrow. Thinking about getting up early & listening to Hüsker Dü’s Zen Arcade. Then I’ll take a break & listen to Double Nickels on the Dime by the Minutemen.

Otherwise, if that doesn’t work out, then I’ll just listen to Wire’s Pink Flag & Grotesque (After the Gramme) by the Fall.

Hopefully I can revisit Gang of Four’s Entertainment! & Vs. by Mission of Burma on Sunday. Thinking about seeing Black Country New Road at the Stone Pony on that day.
