Ozirc TentaclesHell yeah, thanks for the rec! I've just been sticking on things that are marked as similar on Spotify, and their other albums, so it's nice to have something specifically suggested. I also listened to a bunch of Massive Attack and Air recently, because of cycle 1. I love more ambient, less lyrically-focused music, probably due to listening to lots of soundtracks. I always struggled to find a place to start outside of things that are intended to be heard in other media first and foremost. This series has been great for that, and discovering new music that suits my tastes in general! --- Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along. |

Final bump from me, I promise!I'm currently making my way through cycle 2! I utterly adored The Stranger (which I was kinda expecting but not to the extent I did) and the Outkast album (which I definitely wasn't expecting, I just remember them as the Hey Ya guys. Specifically the video with the low quality audio and rotating fish). Absolutely phenomenal, both of them. Outkast are incredibly witty, a little heartfelt at times but generally very tongue in cheek, and I went through a lot of their discography right after. I also enjoyed the Spice Girls in an oddly similar fashion when I was expecting them to grate on me. Meanwhile, I discovered I don't actually like Taylor Swift! I've heard a bunch of her singles obviously, and enjoyed most of them a lot even though I thought they were overplayed. Speak Now was mediocre to me, though, with no real standout songs, a very safe approach and grating lyrics. Probably the worst so far of cycle 2, having just finished Steely Dan. I don't think it was a bad listen, but it's put me off seeking more from her. Mostly just listening to Shpongle-adjacent stuff right now though with my thesis due shortly. --- Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along. |
Topic | Fandom bans politics on GameFAQs (outside of Current Events) |
Sheep007 04/16/24 10:15:34 PM #333 | "Scum" was recently ruled by the UK courts to be a reasonable way to discuss a political actor's beliefs, so I'm glad to say it's not inflammatory. It is political, however, so I'm afraid it looks like we'll have to shut this whole operation down. Fandom policy.

Sheep007 04/16/24 11:59:05 AM #475 | I will admit I have a bit of fondness for Barca specifically because of how brilliant they've been over the years, but supporting PSG of all teams over them as a neutral is wild to me. Like, this is the oil team, the team who kicked off all of the transfer market hyperinflation bullshit with Neymar. Man City are awful especially on the wages side of things but PSG are far, far more flagrant. They bought two players for 400m in a single transfer window and are such a soulless shambles that they still can't even win their league every year, let alone challenge for CL.

Topic | Rank the Tracks 160: Knower - Knower Forever |
Sheep007 04/16/24 11:51:09 AM #13 | This might be one of the hardest albums to rank so far, three and a half listens and I don't think I'm any closer to reaching a conclusion. Just gonna throw something in that vaguely reflects my feelings. There's lots of things that are very catchy here which I don't actually like as much as the songs I find less catchy, and Artadi's voice is slowly driving me to the Kero Kero Bonito delirium I hinted at prior. This feels much more ambitious musically, overall better and bit less mind-boggling though. Despite actually leaning into weirdness through the lyrics, where KKB would be singing about like, going to school and drinking plenty of water or some shit.

Sheep007 04/12/24 12:48:02 PM #8 | First listen done, but mostly in the background. Definitely need another one before even thinking about rankings. The vocals and even sometimes the lyrics remind me of Kero Kero Bonito. I don't get the same delirious euphoria from them, but I also find the songs sufferable so it's a mixed tradeoff. Also, holy shit the arrangements are wild. They had a lotttt of fun making this.

Iron Boulder is literally the best Rock-type from Gen IX >_>I just kinda dislike the future paradoxes. I warmed up to the Ultra Beasts, maybe I'll like them someday. Always gonna be ugly as fuck though. Klawf is too but at least it's goofy, and the Nacl line are some of the best of the generation. I always feel unintentionally contrarian in these polls. Not sure I've voted for a single winner yet! Gen 3 winning for Rock is particularly baffling, though. What's even popular aside from the Aron line? I personally think the gen has the best fossils but I can't imagine Lileep is what's drawing people in here. --- Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along. |

Sheep007 03/30/24 1:18:14 PM #90 | Speaking of just for fun, I've finished listening to the first cycle of albums and will hijack the end of this topic to post my rankings.
For a comparison, Weezer would be around 10th for this cycle, and everything 11th and up would probably be 2nd. Any choice of albums where Is This It barely cracks the top half of rankings is ridiculously good. Top six would be close to getting 1st and they're up against my favourite band of all time. Not a fan of everything U2 and below, though. This was the first and last time I ever listened to the Hamilton soundtrack! I don't get it in the slightest! I got to hear some brilliant artists from this that I would never have heard otherwise, though. Massive Attack, Air and Kendrick Lamar were all huge (and relatively new to me) standouts. The former two I absolutely adored and don't think I'd run into before. Kendrick Lamar, I've heard plenty of singles from and enjoyed well enough, but the album might be the best example of storytelling through music I've ever heard, even if I wouldn't throw on any of the songs for fun. It hits like a ton of bricks over and over again. Only giving it sixth is an abberation. Got a lot of spare time on my hands now, so I think I'm going to work my way through the second cycle over the next few weeks. --- Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along. |
