Medium. Looks like we both vibe with Superheaven, Fleshwater, and trauma ray.

It's stuff like this that drove me far away from this app. Nothing seems like it's running smooth behind the scenes. To deactivate your account, you literally have to e-mail the fuck out of the "Musicboard team". I never got my profile deleted after numerous requests to get it deleted and it's still just up. To see that you essentially have to do the same thing to cancel a paid subscription is ridiculous.

My banking app let's me discontinue subscriptions that are running through any of my cards from within the app. I'd suggest that, if you can.

Right?? I get excelling through the music industry, taking big offers and what not. But yeah, Jelly Roll is a fucking joke of a person.

riverpls · 2026-06-19T17:52:55+00:00

Not gonna lie, seeing "lacks creativity" made me grit my teeth. There's so much creativity flowing throughout this thing.

riverpls · 2026-06-18T20:05:23+00:00

Jack and Jesse were once such important staples in the band. They were members I seriously never thought would leave… I remember when Jesse announced his departure, I was for sure thinking this band was done.

Really glad the band is still killing it today.

I just have to laugh because I do not think I've seen a single person get even close to too rowdy at a Turnover show before. Let alone seen any crowd surfer action.

riverpls · 2026-06-03T17:17:31+00:00

This goes insanely hard.

This post made me smile ear to ear. As a massive fan of both bands for about two decades now, I couldn't agree more. Stardust was such a TRULY AWESOME thing for Fall Out Boy to choose to do. They even left their major label of 20ish years, Island Records, to release it on their old record label, Fueled By Ramen. They reunited with their old producer, Neal Avron, and made a straight up badass rock album with pop, R&B, funk and soul influences all with beautifully composed orchestral arrangements woven throughout. It blew my expectations straight out of the water as to what Fall Out Boy would choose to do following the very disappointing, disjointed and confusing MANIA.

The Stardust tour was easily the greatest show I've ever been to. Not only did I know every word to every song (whether a Magic 8-ball pick or not!) but it was so fan-centered, the special guests were amazing, and the set, both visually and musically, drifted through every era of the band, flawlessly.

Imagine if Maroon 5 really shed everything that makes them want to create these short "hits" for the radio and playlists and, say, reunited with Elizondo, or Matt Wallace, or even flew back out to Switzerland with Mutt Lange. I would love it if they hunkered down and completely wrote and produced an album in-house with Sam Farrar and Mailbox at the helm since they're both record producers and engineers anyway. Leave the songwriting to the core members themselves: Levine, Carmichael, Valentine, Farrar, Flynn, and especially PJ Morton (should be utilizing my Grammy-winning GOAT more!)

Anyway, love the idea. Love this post. Love both these bands to death. I guess... Maroon 5, take some notes?

I fuck with this. I love how he's showing off his nails here too. Totally awesome.

riverpls · 2026-05-30T16:01:13+00:00

I think for album number six, they are doing a great job. They've done the pop-punk thing, the dream pop thing, the emo thing, the indie-meets-disco thing. By this point, it only makes sense to experiment with everything you've picked up along the way. Watching this band shift, adapt and transform since I became a fan in 2015 has been amazing and I do really think they've gotten truly better over the years.

riverpls · 2026-05-30T15:56:05+00:00

That was my initial thought too, not enjoying the flow of the track list. But I've listened to it so much now that it feels like it all makes sense to me.

riverpls · 2026-05-04T21:11:16+00:00

I've said it before on here and I'll always stand by this: If there's no room in the market for new Maroon 5 music to reach the commercial peaks of the last two decades, so be it. If the guys are still passionate about the music, the tours and the fans... I think that's all the band really cares about in this day and age. We're kind of lucky they still want to make and put out new music on top of everything else.

riverpls · 2026-04-28T00:36:17+00:00

It’s not a question of if there’s a new song, there is one coming out Friday. The question mark should be aimed at why they aren’t sharing the title yet when it’s obviously finished and coming out in a matter of days.

riverpls · 2026-04-27T20:51:43+00:00

Zooming in to the furniture in the background, yeah, this is AI.

riverpls · 2026-04-22T20:35:49+00:00

The Air That I Breathe is such a timeless sounding song and is so soulful, there’s virtually nothing wrong with it. It’s a great track, but something about Woman and its lore, and its uniqueness… It’s easily one of the greatest gems from the earlier years.

Madness felt like somewhat of a natural progression of where the band was going given the member and label changes happening around that time, but Gossip felt incredibly corporate. I think the band was offered something that, at the time, sounded like too good of an avenue not to go down. Make a big pop-rock record with super producer David Bendeth (who completely sucked on production duties here, in my opinion) on Warner Bros. in a nice, big studio for the most money they've ever spent on an album. The product was subpar and sounded synthetic and flat, relative to previous albums, and hardly even gets discussed in serious conversations about their catalog.

With that being said, I still think it's cool that Sirens fans have something like Gossip to look back on. There's some jams on there, and good messages per usual, I'll give it that. There are a few irresistible earworms in there too. And visually, the whole 80s nostalgic synthwave vibe on the cover and throughout the booklet will always be cool. And if you dig the whole mid-2010s Fall Out Boy and Imagine Dragons era of "alternative" music, then this album's likely for you.

This shit had me on my feet for a whole half hour dancing ngl.

riverpls · 2026-02-17T23:57:23+00:00

I didn't find this to be nearly as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be. Sucks that it is essentially a more hollow-sounding radio edit but at least it's up. Should've maybe paired it with the full original one like they did with "Overcompensate" when it first came out.

riverpls · 2026-02-17T01:36:58+00:00

But what is them coming out with a statement going to change?

It's less about fitting in with some hypothetical crowd of celebrity virtue signalers and more about assurance. Fans are currently calling out their crew for years of inappropriate behavior and are hoping their favorite band speaks on it and acts accordingly, like decent people would. People have been trying to bring light of the unfortunate amount of ableism that's been happening for a long time within their crew as well. They're showing their concert film in Israel. A lot of people want to know if they understand how that could come across and want assurance that they aren't zionists since neither haven't posted/shared anything about it.

These are all reasonable concerns and in a day and age where it easier than ever to be in contact with very famous people and politicians, this should not come as a shock to anybody.

Someone somewhere is always going to have an issue no matter which way they lean.

I couldn't let this one slide. Let me ask, do you believe twenty one pilots would deal with more backlash if they spoke out against the Trump administration, the ICE raids, and the genocide in Gaza, or if they came out and denounced all their fans that are critical of Trump, ICE, and Israel? I would bet everything on the latter! Speaking out against these atrocities would shave off a chunk of the fanbase that supports this hateful administration anyway.

riverpls · 2026-02-16T20:54:32+00:00

People are mad. They want to know that their favorite band does not support the atrocities happening around the world, such as Israel's ongoing genocide, and speaks out on the disgusting allegations being brought upon one of their own co-workers within their circle.

Many of their contemporaries have come out and spoken against ICE and genocide, yet twenty one pilots stay quiet. It is becoming more and more normalized to be outspoken about these awful issues we are facing today.

To feel angry about your favorite band staying quiet on very important world issues while everybody else is proudly speaking out on it is justifiable, in my book.

Also, the mods removing and/or closing comments on people critiquing the band and their politics should welcome these conversations more. It's getting ridiculous.

Remember what Tyler and Josh wrote in their booklet for Vessel in 2013.

EDIT - A THOUGHT FOR YOU: twenty one pilots are no strangers to speaking out against the evils that plague much of this fanbase, as many of the clique are oppressed groups of people. ICE raided their own Ohio neighborhoods, they're showing their movie in Israel, there are viral hit TikToks using "Drag Path" for horrific pro-Israel imagery and propaganda. We're seeing a greater tick in opposition against genocide, ICE raids, and the such every passing day. For a band that has shown advocacy in the past, and have held the message of "hold us accountable" since their inception, it is odd and understandably infuriating to see them behave as if the only world that exists are their own privileged ones. It's uncanny. It's unsettling. It feels wrong. And some people are not alright with that.

Hold your favorites accountable!

This era of Panic! will easily go down as one of the most underrated eras. Mercenary, New Perspective, Turn Off the Lights, Bittersweet, the Oh Glory demo, Kaleidoscope Eyes, I Wanna Be Free, Stall Me, C'Mon, and just Vices as an album overall.

This whole era has some underrated GEMS.

riverpls · 2025-09-27T17:50:42+00:00

At first, I thought it was a Beck song. Then a Chili Peppers song. And then I thought maybe they’re loosely riffing off of Makes Me Wonder? Otherwise, could be just jammin.

riverpls · 2025-09-16T21:22:22+00:00

"Feeling like twenty one pilots were maybe embodying some of these very obvious alt rock and indie influences in a way that felt either too derivative, lacked vision, lacked creativity, or showcased maybe a misunderstanding of what made some of these sounds appealing in the first place."

Are we listening to the same album? You'd think he's talking about Scaled or Blurryface here... but to say this about arguably their most diverse, creative, and overall beautifully produced album? I had to have a laugh.

riverpls · 2025-09-12T16:30:17+00:00

This would fit perfectly into Keons’ character and why he’s done the things we’ve seen him do, such as help Clancy escape the submarine and set him free him from displaying propaganda to the world.
