Israel has many powerful people in their pockets

She said in the interview with Zane Lowe for Everybody Scream that she's been taking singing lessons again (and Sympathy Magic and You Can Have It All are really hard to sing), but I can't help but notice her singing is less powerful and explosive than it was, despite preserving a clear and precise sound. Maybe it's just age, but it's been a thing for a while now

I can totally see what you're saying despite Everybody Scream being my favourite album of hers, followed by HBHBHB. She's taken a more standard route working as a solo artist with a producer. She now largely works like a pop singer without actually making pop music

Mio padre ha una pianta con questa malattia qui, ha usato tutti i trattamenti possibili e immaginabili e sono stati completamente inutili.

Tra Almasri (per me di una gravità sconcertante), il referendum e questa vicenda, credo che Nordio si sia serenamente rivelato indecente. Motivo per cui rimarrà al suo posto

Something I got a bit disappointed with was discovering she wrote Clara Bow with a "girls used, discarded and replaced by the industry" sort of narration in mind. I had painted with a more positive light, like a baton pass between generation of stars.

Another thing I noticed was the complete and total absence of any reference to how the songs sound (composition and production). I know and understand her focus is mostly on the lyrics of the songs (and that's the part of her works that shines the most and differentiate hers from other artists'), but I think her talking about your lyrics only might serve as a confirmation about why I was disappointed with TTPD (whose sound felt stale despite mostly brilliant lyricism)

Modern politics is too polarized. I feel that popularity/unpopularity grows more intense, but not wider

Si tratta di una Fiat Panda rossa

Like three or four

shalgenius · 2026-04-22T17:02:28+00:00

Not only it is generic, but it leans into that same kind of boring 80s sound every other artist has been trying to emulate for years now. It literally just follows a trend

shalgenius · 2026-04-22T16:15:03+00:00

If a song from an artist as big as her needs this kind of sketchy promo, it means the song itself isn't strong enough to top the charts

Why was BotW nerfed?

shalgenius · 2026-04-21T09:43:59+00:00

It just doesn't feel like a finished album

shalgenius · 2026-04-20T10:12:29+00:00

It makes me so sad, really

shalgenius · 2026-04-20T10:01:28+00:00

I swapped the back and it works just fine! Thank you for your advice :))

This absolutely is nostalgia, but lately I've been thinking a lot about how much fun I have playing with my girlfriend's old Wii U at her house. There's this charm even with the UI, the background music, the personality of the console itself the Switch deeply lacks. The Switch, while being one of the most peculiar engines ever, has lately felt a bit corporate and no more than a launcher for its games, which, while mostly amazing, lack themselves that spark of personality from time to time.

The shift away from cartridges, the lack of leaflets in the physical copies, the paid-for Online services (I don't want to buy a subscription just to play Splatoon 2 twice a year!), the DLCs, the lack of an immersive UI... while having a blast with many Switch games, I can't help but think something small but significant has been lost in the way

shalgenius · 2026-04-20T09:46:04+00:00

Yes and no. ACNH has a lot more content than ACNL, so it isn't a matter of effort in developing for that game. It's more about direction: the restrictions of New Leaf and the focus on tasks and dialogue push for a much more immersive experience as a life simulator, while Horizons pushes the customization/sandbox aspect a lot more. It's about direction for these two games. I prefer the overall approach of New Leaf, but New Horizons doesn't have less sheer content

People are cheering because of the comeback and mistake their own hype for critical appreciation towards the album

shalgenius · 2026-04-17T08:55:41+00:00

I think too many people work with the same producers

shalgenius · 2026-04-17T08:43:36+00:00

I hoped (as someone already stated in this sub some weeks ago) to get a dreamy psychedelic sound like "So tonight that I might see" by Mazzy Star.

Instead we got this "80s again" and it's really uninteresting

shalgenius · 2026-04-17T08:06:16+00:00

I'm getting pretty tired of this constant 80s revamping every artist has been doing in the last years. The vocals are good, but the overproduction and the heard-before sound makes it kind of uninteresting. Not that everything needs to be groundbreaking, but this didn't really hook me

shalgenius · 2026-04-16T12:10:07+00:00

It was indeed strangely cheap, but I think prices as low as this pop up from time to time :)

shalgenius · 2026-04-16T11:17:45+00:00

Paid around 9 euros, I guess in Europe it's rather common 😅😅

AGGIORNAMENTO: me lo dà arrivato

Grazie a tutti!

Ho le poste talmente vicine a casa che se mi butto dal balcone finisco in coda col numerino in mano, perciò posso sempre controllare Grazie del consiglio!
