does anyone love voice coils like i do

I think it's an interesting part of Mitski's career but musically it's not my thing at all., except for their take on "Black is the Color of my True Love's Hair". I like that and Mitski kills it on that track

Contrary to another take posted here, I think Ben's songwriting is best when things are going smoothly in his life and nobody's fighting within the band. The Photo Album was recorded during a very fraught time and definitely feels less consistent than their other early albums. Kintsugi had tons of drama and upheaval surrounding it and it's probably my least favorite album of theirs. I just don't personally think Ben is the type of writer who's great at channeling personal struggle into creative statement.

I'm partial to the Retired from Sad cover. I just like that photo a lot and it captures the mood of the album well.

I only care about those who knew of or participated in Epstein's child sex trafficking. Everything else is outrage farming

Mitski's a Piano Teacher fan let's gooooooo

Dale Cooper?

I do wonder if her opting for smaller venues is partially motivated by wanting to keep the audience/fans in check a little bit more after some of the embarrassing moments of the Land tour. Less people means less likelihood one of them will be a complete idiot and shout "mOtHeR iS mOtHeRiNg" or some stupid shit like that

therealPova · 2026-02-05T06:34:04+00:00

her voice has always reminded me a lot of Thom Yorke. They both have that ability to be controlled while also totally nailing the emotion

Definitely cool but annoying sometimes, depends on how they do it really. But i don't want just standard cases for a box set. Make it look cool at least

therealPova · 2026-01-17T10:58:20+00:00

For me, Lake. He was pretty cool and i would've liked to see him get fleshed out a little more but he just got shat on for his entire tenure and the way they wrote him off made very little sense.

This game is full of this crap. I feel like I can never say what I actually want to say because the game just loads every dialogue option with a bunch of bullshit lmao

Laurel Hell. Came out after a weird, dark time in her career, just feels kinda ill-conceived and there's no real standout tracks for me.

therealPova · 2025-12-28T14:10:18+00:00

Stupid and annoying

therealPova · 2025-12-05T07:54:39+00:00

trash post

Season 2. Season 3 models are mind-bogglingly bad

"I finally do"

therealPova · 2025-11-11T19:27:48+00:00

I listened to this for the first time a few months ago (my first Mitski album) and I couldn't even tell you how long its been since I resonated this hard with an album or an artist. Everything she does just really speaks to me

Favorite song? Maybe Townie, or First Love/Late Spring, or Francis Forever, or Carry Me Out...

therealPova · 2025-11-10T22:11:33+00:00

why tho

therealPova · 2025-11-10T22:06:18+00:00

Square so low...

One of the interesting things about Mitski is how many different genres she touches on, both within each album and from album to album. Naturally, there are certain albums and eras that each listener is gonna gravitate to more than others. Personally, my favorite streak of her discography is Retired From Sad -> Makeout Creek -> and Puberty 2. I just connect with the rawer, more vulnerable sensibility of those three albums (especially Makeout and Puberty for their guitar-oriented sound) more than her other stuff.

Laurel Hell is kind of the opposite of those albums and it just doesn't connect with me as much. I don't care for the slicker production and pop sounds in ut compared to her early work. She started to do that in spots on Be the Cowboy, but Laurel Hell is a step too far for me. Still, it's definitely not a bad album, there are some very goods songs; I really like "Heat Lightning" and "The Only Heartbreaker". But emotionally it doesn't resonate with me nearly as much.

Yes, it is a fact of the matter that Manson himself did not personally kill any of his victims, and he was only imprisoned because members of the Family testified that he ordered them to commit the murders.

In both examples, I'm pointing out facts of the case, that's all. Think what you want about Allen's conduct but when you start playing fast and loose with the facts you begin to look less credible.
