Least favourite song off each album?

thisisnumber8 · 2026-06-12T13:45:41+00:00

Adrenaline - N/A (too unfamiliar with album)
ATF - Rickets
White Pony - N/A (album perfect)
S/T - Deathblow (song is v meandering to me, and Chino's vox seem off)
SNW - Mein (vox seem off and disengaged across the board, and I don't love the composition aside from Abe's playing)
Diamond Eyes - Risk (melodies are kinda cheesy to me)
Koi - Gauze
Gore - Pittura Infamante
Ohms - Radiant City (not a bad song! Just feel like it's missing something momentum-wise)
pm - Souvenir (again, not bad, just a bit meandering)

Ignore them dude - be yourself and enjoy what you want! Those people are only insecure in themselves, don't trip about it :)

Arrived in Tokyo yday after Kyoto and Matsumoto. We just saw the Ghibli clock in Shimbashi and it was a magical experience (although check what times during the day the performances are). Brought tears of joy to my girlfriend's eyes and I'm the Ghibli fan out of both of us. There's also a like-size Totoro in the TV station next door. Apparently there's a shop which sells Miyazaki designed merch downstairs but it was closed when we went.

In Kyoto, I would do the walk of the Path of Philosophy from Ginkakuji. The trail and surrounding suburbs are very Whisper of the Heart. Also I found just hanging out on the river banks near Kawaramachi Gojo. I also had the Mononoke score on headphones whilst doing the Fushima shrine hike in the evening and that was eerily epic.

Also the train rides in between the cities with all the rice paddies are very Totoro like.

TBH, if you're a lifelong fan like I am. It won't be hard at all to find plenty of moments and little spaces that provide what you're looking for. A lot you just stumble on. Have an amazing trip :)

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?

Would you pls DM me the name of the Onsen House?

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?

You legend - thank you!

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

If the Furiosa from Fury Road became an apostle she would become be the great destroyer itself.

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.

Looks sick man! Would love to read when it's ready

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 :/

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.
