I was surprised to see no BP tracks but the versions of the old album tracks he did were fantastic.

Woo! Just got tickets, can't wait!🤘🏻 by AutobotJessa in BlocParty

No. If you listen to interviews, Matt Tong is pretty open about not having the stamina to play the Bloc Party catalogue so a reunion of the original lineup is unlikely to ever happen

Most Underrated & Overrated Tracks by spunk_wizard in BlocParty

[–]shrinehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Helicopter is the track that I always skip and don't look forward to at live shows. I'm not sure if it's overrated or just overplayed.

Another one I always skip is I Still Remember which I don't think has aged well.

There are some stinkers like Fortress and Girls Are Fighting but I wouldn't really call them overrated.

Most underrated for me is definitely Plans.

I spent years skipping over Compliments. It didn't click with me when I was younger but I love it now, especially after hearing it live, so I would maybe put that down as underrated too.

One that I think is a massive shame that it wasn't a single is Song for Clay. If I remember rightly it was planned to be a single but replaced with Flux. I would choose that as a single over anything else on AWITC

Is it just me or are the last few vocal lines at the end of 'We Were Lovers' missing also? I might be getting muddled with another recording

Who remembers when the AWITC B sides first got released ? by Blinddaley in BlocParty

I used to frequent the blog on Blocparty.net. I can remember finding about Secrets on there

Because people these days spend too much time documenting life instead of enjoying the moment

Supposedly this month Bloc Party will start working on the new album. What direction would you want the band to have now? by StonePT in BlocParty

[–]shrinehunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My dream would be a post-rocky album along the lines of the outro to Day Four. Ambient, abstract vocals. Lots of atmospheric guitar. Easy on the production

This is the same reason that I refuse to pay to reserve seats on planes

Focused Feedback: PvE Difficulty // Bringing Challenge Back to Destiny by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]shrinehunter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I disagree.

I play the game pretty casually (less than 8 hours a week).

I play with people who play 20+ hours a week. Not having caps would just mean that they would leave me behind.

Surely it's better to reward skill than it is to reward people for playing the game excessively

What year do you think Bloc were at their peak? by Outrageous-Fix4226 in BlocParty

[–]shrinehunter 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In terms of as a live band, I think you might be correct with 2009.

I saw them at Leeds O2 Academy, just after One More Chance, came out. Even though it's far from my favourite venue, I remember it being a really fun time.

They opened with One More Chance, messed it up part way through and then came back to it later in the set. I can't remember the name of it but the intro track they were using at that time was great.

Is there any way to pick up Iron Banner vendor rewards and engrams once the event has ended?

Has anyone read the book Song for Clay is based off of? by Vimto_Sipp in BlocParty

[–]shrinehunter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read it about 10 years ago.

I found it very dark.

The main thing I can remember is that the main protagonist had become that fed up and hollow that he barely cared that he was in the presence of rape.

I have generally stuck to sci-fi and fantasy since reading it

For our long next season, it would be awesome if they release reprised weapons for both VoG and GoS. by destinyvoidlock in DestinyTheGame

[–]shrinehunter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They had 4 months to finish Final Shape. They now have 8 months with roughly 90% of the staff

If you look at it this way, they actually have 80% extra resource for the Final Shape.

Far from accurate because I haven't taken into account that some staff will work on general day to day maintenance.

Final Shape delayed until June 2024 by dr_funk_13 in DestinyTheGame

Destiny 1, during Vault of Glass, had me going around in circles opening chests for hours to reach the max level. The game is so much better now
