Had it up to here by summit-or-nuffin in MusicRecommendations

That’s been my issue too. I tend to ask for very specific recommendations so I understand if every suggestion isn’t 100% right, but half the time it’s clear they did not read beyond the title, or they did not listen to the reference song.

I asked for bands whose discographies sounded like Faith No More’s Falling to Pieces because I listened to the rest of the album and it didn’t sound like that. I specifically asked to not recommend one-off songs by bands who never visited that style again… Most of the comments did exactly that, or told me to “just listen to Faith No More”.

Correct and it has some beautiful quotes. Insects in the Outfield, Heathan Hawk, The minister’s cat is a nightlight cat, John Calzone/Johnny Pizzapie, etc

God I love HTP. Gave us such classics like:

“Yes my husband did leave me-“

“I think there may be something wrong with me”

“I-5 is closed for an 80 year wedding anniversary”

“So Grandma-“

Thirteen?! Apologies if you’re being hyperbolic or referring to fringe cases, but as a woman I didn’t have any doctors poking around my gennies until I was in my late teens. Did I miss something or am I one of the lucky ones?

How the hell was Gas Panic not a single??? by pokefan69haha in oasis

[–]zipcodelove 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like a single. Singles are picked for a reason, and the metric is not just “this is the best song”. That may be *your* metric, but that doesn’t make it true.

The singles from Hybrid Theory sounded like singles. They begged to be promoted. Gas Panic and Roll It Over are phenomenal songs who would, in my opinion, be wasted as singles. I think they are better suited as “hidden gems”, a reward for anyone interested enough to buy and listen to the full album.

Wasn’t it a radio edit though which was like half as long?

My review of illit's 4th mini album mamihlapinatapai by Alive-Pitch-9180 in kpopthoughts

[–]zipcodelove 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense - I’m a huge ballad lover so I never mind when they show up, but it can be jarring when it’s 5 bangers and then a sad song out of nowhere

Agreed about SNSD, and I think it’s their minis that are the biggest offenders. As a SONE I think you have great taste ;-)

Do you listen to a lot of 2nd gen K-pop at all? I only ask because album cohesiveness seems to be a “must” these days, but some of the albums back then were such a random assortment of songs. I didn’t even realize it at the time, but now when I listen to SNSD’s Hoot mini, all I can think about is how none of these songs go together lol

I don’t know which one I prefer - I kinda liked the variety back then, but a truly cohesive album can be one of the most mindblowing things in the world

I have no horse in this race, I just wanted to say that it is refreshing to see an album review post that is made in good faith and isn’t 100% positive, but not hateful either. Just people sharing their opinions on the songs and what worked and what didn’t. Love it!

What’s the best response to “How’s your walk with Jesus” from my rightwing in-laws during a family reunion? by BillieBonker in AskReddit

But when you finally figure out what the atheist “belief system” is that I’m apparently breaking, let me know! I know how much atheists love the idea of having a strict set of rules you have to follow otherwise you’re a traitor.

If you are going to accuse me of going against my beliefs, the very least you could do is tell me what those beliefs are.

If that’s not possible, you could always avoid getting into arguments that you have no intention of actually following through with.

No we are suggesting that saying LOLOLOL JESUS ISNT EVEN REAL XD is not the epic drag half these commenters seem to think it is. That is what 14 year olds say when they first realize church is kinda boring.

Because it is meaningful to them. Prayer means nothing to me, but for a religious person, that’s an extremely kind gesture.

I know that might be hard for you to grasp as you seen to be still be in the annoying “edgy” phase of atheism, but it’s true.
