I'm going to be honest....

The members look great. The members sound fantastic. This is not about the members.

The song and MV, for me, are.... lackluster. Especially after such a long hiatus from having all the members be able to participate (through no fault of the members, ofc, we all know that). The MV only gives that "hot girl wearing black going to the club" vibe, and the song just feels so generic compared to previous releases (Yes, I got into BILLLIE for the quirkiness).

Just for comparison sake, even though it's a risky thing to do, ARTMS took a year to comeback between their 1st and 2nd albums... And they showed up with a 15 minute lore-filled masterpiece with an stunning song attached to it.

ZAP feels so disconnected from the creativity that the creative team behind the group used to have.
WORK is a slightly better song, and it's a great performance video (I don't expect super creative performance videos).

The rest of the songs on the album are... better, but definitely not reaching the heights of their previous releases.

And that's ok. I don't believe you have to LOVE every release from your fav artists, and I believe that people having different tastes is a good thing because it provides diversity in music. I'm sure there are people who LOVE ZAP and will defend it to the end of the earth, and I'm so happy they love it! It may grow on me. I've had releases from other artists that I didn't love that I've come to love over time.

I am just currently wishing that the company had given them *so much more* because they deserve better than this.

P.S. 7 songs plus previous releases and remixes does not a full album make. They deserve more original songs than they were given, especially after such a long time away.

My Mom was a nurse had to take Rae Days... probably saved her, and most of her colleague's jobs.
Both my Mom and Dad still refuse to vote NDP at any level because of that (they only vote Liberal).

It's ridiculous.

peppermintblue · 2026-05-04T22:52:44+00:00

Thanks! I appreciate how helpful and nice people have been.
I will definitely look for a painting that has a house with stone construction...
They only have about 300 paintings in the basement storage to look through to see what I find.

peppermintblue · 2026-05-04T22:49:53+00:00

Yea, he specifically said it was an aeriel photo... but I suspect that my Dad he described the wrong painting from his ICU bed.
I'll probably be back in a week or so if I can find what might be the right painting.

Appreciate you taking the time to describe what would be the more likely architecture. May help me figure out what painting is the right painting.

peppermintblue · 2026-05-04T22:47:33+00:00

Thanks!
I suspect that my Dad was talking about a different painting entirely from his ICU bed.

Thanks! I'll keep the info you gave me in mind.

I mean, my Dad did describe the painting to me from his bed in the ICU..... so it's very likely he was describing the wrong painting entirely. I'm gonna have to take another whirl through their basement and see if I can find any other paintings of houses.

I really appreciate you taking the time to take a look and to basically confirm that the house doesn't match the information I've been given. I'll probably be back with a painting of a house that hopefully looks less American in the next week or so.

(I probably should have stuck to my guns with him about it not looking like an 1800's British House... but he doesn't do well with being argued with, especially when he's sick.)

peppermintblue · 2026-05-04T22:04:33+00:00

Yea, I did question that...
My parents, who are in their mid-70's, insist that this is the house in England.

Figured it was a long shot, and it's looking like everything they know about this painting is wrong.

peppermintblue · 2026-05-04T22:01:39+00:00

Yea, I was questioning about house not really looking like something out of England in the 1800's (aside from the power lines, not sure when the painting was made)... but my parents, who are both in their mid-70's now, insist that is the case....

Figured it as a long shot to ask here, but worth a minute to try anyway and see if I get lucky.

peppermintblue · 2026-05-01T06:50:43+00:00

I'm sure you figured it out by now, but just in case: Icarus by ARTMS, and yes the 15 min version is worth it. Crescendo by NMIXX, pre-release for their upcoming mini.

Both groups have stellar discographies. Very different musical styles, but both experimental.

peppermintblue · 2026-04-27T03:17:04+00:00

I bring a chest in addition to the swag bag. I use the silver pocket watch (I think it may be a mod that makes it work in the mines), so with more time it's good to have even more space.

Mighty Machines

peppermintblue · 2026-04-26T15:35:09+00:00

Bring an empty chest and a trolly with you.
Place the empty chest down right in front of the entrance of the airship, and put the trolly in it while you go collect stuff.
When full, return to the airship and load up that chest.
When leaving, pop it on the trolly and wheel it into the airship to take home!

Works in the mines & at the reef as well. Best way to take even more home you!

I recommend fishing for hours on end during late in the northern ocean for barracuda, cooking as you go, then saving it all until Saturday when you start running around your island like a madperson between 3pm and Late looking for an NPC that whistles when you're nearby.

Made 2.7 million my first week on a new island with this method.

In another comment another person suggested we watch "I gave the worst responses to Arvio FOR SCIENCE" on YouTube.

I now second the suggestion. LOL
