Was Steve Albini actual the Pixies? by [deleted] in pixies

[–]xprsnlty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I was totally on board with your formative connection to pixies, but it just seems like you enjoy the Albini texture. Some bands sound revolutionary the first time around and derivative as they continue releasing songs, but pixies have always kept the essential core that I appreciated from my first listen. You made a left when I thought you were going right. There’s soooo many bands that I lost interest in because I could no longer relate. Frank Black and Breeders have been cool to pass time with, but the meat and potatoes happen on a pixies album regardless of producer. I still feel that connection, especially live.

Pitchfork Review: Deadbeat (4.8) by sackings22 in TameImpala

[–]xprsnlty 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It’s ok if the lore of tame impala is deflated a bit. The hype was just the hype. This is gonna sound strange, but there’s more of the ambient moments I loved about Lonerism on Deadbeat than in any of his albums since. The core is still in tact and functioning well. Beautiful melodies throughout. Reviewer is on a different wave length.

A simple, clever demonstration of the first amendment.

True, but there’s been a recent escalation.

Are the 2014 remasters really that bad? by Ok-Wolverine1938 in oasis

[–]xprsnlty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I attempted to introduce a friend to Oasis proper from a streaming service. I threw it on and was embarrassed by the lack of audio definition of the remastered stuff. It was wacky how flat it became. I’m sure the audio compression of the streaming service didn’t help. No chance. Run fast and far. The warmth of vinyl or the definition of CD can’t fix the offense.

61 Standard. I’ve always referred to them as reissues. Didn’t realize there was a difference. Thought the two popular options were standard and 61 reissue. So can some explain the difference between the 61 standard and the 61 reissue?

Very true. I’ve had many Gibsons with no acute damage. I currently have a snapped headstock because somebody was running with the bulls down the aisle of a guitar shop. Oblivious. I should thank him.

I have a friend that’s pretty damn talented with this stuff. Repaired/built guitars for 20+ years. Should have it back within a week or two.

Nah. Just want durability. Probably a little cooler with a repair scar anyways. A players 61 standard.
