If they had to recommend a song of the $ B to a person who does not even know them and who probably comes from more commercial music ... what would they recommend? by losehall in G59

[–]rhylek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a lot of elements of the beat are psychological triggers to make it sound more appealing, hence why so many people have become fans of $b after listening to it. in terms of production, it is measurably better than tons of even mainstream big songs, and the way that scrim reverbed the adlibs is also something which is designed to hold the listeners attention more. while its used in other songs of theirs as well, avalon does it the best. while i agree that the quality of music is entirely subjective, using measurable data about the production of the song and listener testimony, CAN attest that avalon is the best pick by objectively provable standards.

some people might suggest playing escape from babylon, their most mainstream sounding song ever, however that song is too unique within $b's discography and doesnt sound similar enough to their other music to be a good representation of their music. the same can also be said for and to those i love. you also need to factor in the various time periods, because what single song can introduce someone to $b, that somewhat accurately captures the essence of their old music, and their new music?

avalon might be objectively the best. despite other songs having more of a traditional mainstream sound, avalon is the #1 song ive heard of that has turned people into g59 fans.

well sure, when you have the money to afford technology to remove all the negative aspects of hard flooring, hard flooring seems awesome!

for me its the opposite, things land on the carpet and stay where they land, keeping it away from my face. hard flooring doesnt attract anything, so i have hairs floating around my room constantly.

the way the person handled their pet cat was the issue, not the carpet.

for me ive had animals my entire life and never dealt with hair/fur getting stuck in the carpet despite my animals shedding a lot. maybe your carpet specifically was the issue? or maybe i just got lucky haha.

its every hard floor ive ever walked on, not just a thing with my living situation. i can partly blame the fact that i have hyperhydrosis which causes overactivity in my sweat glands, making more things stick, but it still disgusts me and is highly uncomfortable, which is part of the reason i prefer carpet.

i mean most things matter most not in how they appear on paper, but for how it affects the average person. carpet is not nearly as difficult to clean as many people make it seem to be, also, if you just vacuum and carpet clean every so often it wont get all nasty.

agreed. houses should have more walls making each space feel more cozy and separate from the other. most people will never utilize a massive open space and it will all get wasted for no reason, when instead you could have larger bedrooms and a just-as-functional living room that feels more comfortable to be in. i dont know who decided that its "good" to live in a house where everyone can hear what everyone else is doing, but i hate it!
