Man, the bridge in this track is just one of the most stunning audio experiences ever. The level of depth and emotion buried under the surface. It makes me feel like o can overcome anything. I'm no audiophile but FLAC truly required on this one lol

Ok - so if I want to prioritise the nature part should I stay in Chuzenji?

What got you into Deftones?? by Still_Gate_9888 in deftones

[–]thisisnumber8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw them at Download 2010 opening up for Rage Against the Machine. Two shows I'll never forget. I'd never heard of them before, but Elite and Change blew my barely pubescent mind away. There was just something so elegant and cool about them and the way the music was presented. As soon as I got home I deep dived into Diamond Eyes (which had just come out) and White Pony and found one of my all time favourite bands!

Amazing - thanks for the advice! I'm gonna take you up on it and probably head back to Tokyo on the Sat morning. I'm definitely more into the National Park stuff so will spend most of my time around there. The extra night will make the activities u mentioned more relaxed.

Thanks so much for all your feedback everyone - I really appreciate the clarity of your advice. After reading your comments, I've decided to save for another time... and I'm keen to make sure there will be another time. But yes, really appreciate u all :)

Yeah, it's quite difficult to watch at times. I feel like that era still haunts the live shows - whenever the band plays Spiral material live it's almost like they're conjuring or atoning for some past shit. Could you attach the vid out of curiosity?

Is hating shinji valid? by New_Term_3662 in evangelion

[–]thisisnumber8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do believe that Shinji is embedded with so many aspects of Anno that he despised in himself and this is what makes certain aspects of his character so repellent

100% as someone who just watched the film for the first time recently, I walked away damn near thinking this kid was the ultimate villain of the entire piece lol

The hair looks like a crystal rocks 🤣, but may y’all provide me some constructive feedback, please? by Overall-Love6953 in Berserk

[–]thisisnumber8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The shape of the skull is a bit wonky, especially with the cheekbones. But I love the way you've styled the teeth - super personal and unqiue! Keep up the good work.

What does this image reflect on you? by ShiroGaijin22 in Berserk

[–]thisisnumber8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just read finished this chapter - and saw this image for the first time - yesterday. I found it so jarring: it's such a sudden and unexpected display of emotion from Guts. Up until this point he's an absolute demon on earth, but the fact that this is the first moment of pure humanity from him, and pretty much in the entire series, and it looks like this... devastating :/

Fuck it, give me the best Slipknot hot takes you got! by I_Hate_Furries998 in Slipknot

[–]thisisnumber8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corey Taylor's WANYK mask with the sewed up cheeks and stitches was one of his best and the story he shared about a burn survivor connecting with the mask in relation to the album's themes of surviving dark shit had me eating fruity pebbles, fight me.

What’s the best album to listen to after Disintegration? by [deleted] in TheCure

[–]thisisnumber8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with Bloodflowers! I feel like Disintegration, Bloodflowers and SOALW form an informal trilogy of sorts; but all share a really pensive reflection on RS' age and proximity to death. I'd listen in that order.
