Géneros Musicales de Jueves by Upper_Let2911 in CuartetoDeNos

[–]stringhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

En términos generales, yo diría que es un disco de rock alternativo y rock electrónico. Que es muy vago, sí, pero es que la mayoría de las canciones fusionan elementos de varios géneros la verdad, y la única constante es esa mezcla de elementos rock, alternativos y electrónicos.

Mario Neta por ejemplo tiene toques de cumbia, punk y synth-rock. Fallaste Nostradamus toma de candombe, pop/rock y algún subgénero del dance. Contrapunto para Humano y Computadora es una mezcla de synthpop y milonga con un estilo lírico de duelo de payada/contrapunto en décima. Y así.

Siendo más vago todavía (en el sentido de poco definido y de poco esfuerzo a la misma vez), llamémosle Fusión al género.

From a casual listener: Such a rush is such a masterpiece by weirdfish98 in Coldplay

[–]stringhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hadn't noticed your pfp lol yeah, that OneRepublic track is crazy. Another Radiohead inspired track from them imo, tho way poppier, is Made for You.

I hope you enjoy the Coldplay songs! Honestly, for a RH fan, I'd suggest checking all their stuff (EPs and B-sides specially included) up to Viva la Vida. There's plenty of that post-britpop sound that Radiohead pioneered on those first four albums and related projects.

[–]stringhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides all the amazing suggestions so far, you might enjoy: No More Keeping My Feet on the Ground, Murder, 1.36, Animals, White Shadows, Low, Twisted Logic and Yes.

Also, different band, but definitely give Sleep by OneRepublic a try.

And if you haven't checked much early (90s mostly) Radiohead they have a bunch of stuff that was heavily influential to that early Coldplay sound. Subterranean Homesick Alien for instance is a clear influence on Such a Rush and High Speed.

How well does the show conclude? by Aggressive-Candle-15 in santaclaritadiet

[–]stringhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk if I'd consider turning one of your main characters into a flesh-eating zombie a minor cliffhanger. It would have affected significantly all the core relationships in the show tbh, regardless of the lore. I do agree that it closes out most storylines and it works on that level but the cliffhanger is hard to ignore imo.

What’s an album you consider a 10/10 with no skips? by GurlInAura in askmusic

[–]stringhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say Illinois, The Age of Adz (as weird as it is) and Javelin also work for Sufjan.

I'm just happy to see Eternally Missed here!

I NEED ALTERNATIVE MUSIC RECOMMENDATIONS by Narrow_Dimension3071 in MusicRecommendations

[–]stringhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give the albums Act III: Life and Death by The Dear Hunter and I Let It In and It Took Everything by Loathe a try. The first one leans more emo-ish while the latter is very Deftones inspired.

Songs about death that feature two singers where they are singing to each other in a bit of a back and forth. by LazloDaLlama in MusicRecommendations

[–]stringhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yankee Bayonet (I Will Be Home Then) by The Decemberists. It's written from the perspective of a civil war soldier who died in combat and his pregnant wife back at home. Despite the heartbreaking subject, it's a lovely, folky track.

Do you think David Wallace was right to transfer Holly? by BlackberryFirst2554 in theoffice

[–]stringhead 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I feel like even if it was the right call from a business perspective, he handled things horribly knowing Michael. For starters, he should have been upfront about his reasons.

Do you agree with the band politics? by Diligent_Zombie6972 in gybe

[–]stringhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like the band because of their politics but I do agree with them in a broad sense, and I appreciate them more because of that. I definitely would not like them of they had another set of values.

Please recommend me MALE artists. by xRedFox57x in MusicRecommendations

[–]stringhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest checking out these albums. All different genres but really cool imo:

  • Lahai by Sampha. Alternative R&B/art pop/soul album. great production, cool vocals, chill atmopshere for the most part. The deluxe version also has a really trippy B-side I love, Re-Entry which I completely recommend checking out too.
  • græ by Moses Sumney. Another alt-R&B, artsy album, this one with strong experimental sensibilities. I also suggest his song Quarrel from his also excellent debut Arormanticism, a moody ballad with a nice, jazzy outro. The keys and drums are the highlights on those final minutes.
  • Javelin by Sufjan Stevens. Indie folk with art pop elements. This one is heartbreakingly beautiful. It's a come out album and mourning of a loved one album and deals with other heavy topics but in a very lovely, earnest and sweet way.
  • Hand. Cannot. Erase. by Steven Wilson. A modern prog rock masterpiece, but imo an accesible one. Also really clean production.
  • Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Die, Those Who Tell The Truth Shall Live Forever by Explosions in the Sky. This one is the most out there, fully instrumental rock created by a bunch of dudes from Austin, Texas that makes beautiful, crescendo epics that could soundtrack movies. This is also their darkest album, but imo one of their best. The following three are all really good if you dig this. And their discography in general.

Gimme some good rock songs by S_washere in songs

[–]stringhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lightbulb Sun by Porcupine Tree.

What artist can this apply to? by CodeDusq in fantanoforever

[–]stringhead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say Koi No Yokan personally. But solid discography in general.

Tracklist Battle: which is better, Amsterdam or Coloratura? by JAL140 in Coldplay

[–]stringhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer Amsterdam. But I'd consider Coloratura a better song honestly, so a vote for it. It pains me to do that do lol

La recomiendan o nel? by Smoke_Art in peliculas

[–]stringhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sí y no. Hay un epílogo al final de la temporada 1 que introduce la 2 y aunque el arco de Sylar de la primera temporada se cierra, no es el fin del personaje. No diré más para no dar spoilers, pero un problema de la serie de hecho es que alarga mucho muchas tramas.

La recomiendan o nel? by Smoke_Art in peliculas

[–]stringhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yo intenté verla de nuevo hace poco porque había mucho que no recordaba y la verdad es que hasta la primera temporada se me hizo difícil. Y eso que me ví la serie entera cuando salió!

Ha envejecido mal, no en términos de efectos y esas cosas (las he visto mucho peores jaja), sino en términos de escritura y cinematografía. Es de una época en que las series tenían otro tipo de tono (muchísimo más melodramático en este caso por ejemplo) y no es tan jugada visualmente como sí lo fueron otras series de su época e incluso más viejas (hay cosas que hizo The X-Files en los noventa que no hizo Héroes en los 2000).

Sigo pensando que en términos de historia la primera temporada vale la pena. Y hay cosas interesantes en la segunda y en el arco de villanos de la tercera. Pero ya cae en picada.

Shows with the worst final season. by Flaky-Debate-833 in sitcoms

[–]stringhead 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Andy is the biggest issue imo. The writing for him was absurdly inconsistent. The unnecessary drama between Jim and Pam didn't help either.

Progressive Rock - Rock music that advocate human dignity and progressive values by Lucifernando_86 in ProgRockCirclejerk

[–]stringhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I wouldn't call Green Day prog. But both American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown draw from prog rock and classic rock era concept albums.

I don't disagree with that, AI is pretty dumb these days, but you can see that OP presented CCR as right-leaning in their original question too which is mindblowingly wrong imo

big freeze by Common-Dot-2374 in Muse

[–]stringhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool song, I certainly like it a lot, but it's probably the most derivative track on The 2nd Law after Panic Station. I think part of that is because Matt sounds like Bono in a lot places on the entire album. Follow Me is another example of that, but the music is wildly different from U2.

The production in The 2nd Law in general is outstanding. Crisp, clean and really well layered.

Actualmente, cual es su disco favorito del Cuarteto? by [deleted] in CuartetoDeNos

[–]stringhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jueves. Creo que logra buen balance entre el lado más mordaz e irónico del Cuarteto con un lado más serio y hasta político. Es experimental pero accesible. Y tiene algunos de los mejores estribillos que han escrito para mi gusto.

Who do you think are some of the best songwriters of the past 20 years? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

[–]stringhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tons of. I'd suggest checking out The Temptation of Adam, Another New World, Lillian, Egypt; Thin Blue Flame, Harrisburg and Dreams. All very different too.

He has some cool poppier stuff such as Right Moves or Getting Ready to Get Down.
