Topic | Best Pokemon Generation by Type Tournament, DAY 3: Gen 4 Ice vs. Gen 6 Dragon |
Sheep007 04/13/24 8:13:56 PM #3 | Both solid, I think the sheer number of good things in Gen 6 make up for the shitty Latis and their unbelievably boring megas. Plus most of the other megas aren't bad by the low standards megas have, and Tyrunt is adorable.

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. |

Bestow has three meh mons plus six great ones, and Techno Blast is just good all around. Scorbunny is also today. When an Eeveelution gets bottom three you know the options are good.

Topic | Rank the Albums 6 - THE RESULTS! |
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. |

My Hero Monkey Wrench Hey, Johnny Park! See You Walking After You Up in Arms February Stars The Colour and the Shape My Poor Brain Wind Up Doll New Way Home Enough Space I'm a big Foo Fighters fan (less so these days, but I was particularly in my late teens and early 20s, where they were probably my favourite band), and while I don't think this is their best album (that title goes to Wasting Light), it's got their best song on it. Everlong is an absolute classic rock song. Dave Grohl is ridiculously talented as a vocalist, drummer, and guitarist, and all three of them shine through in this album. I think the songs surrounding the top four are unfortunately not the strongest - Foo Fighters songs often lack a bit of substance, and when the hook isn't straight up one of the best you've ever heard, they're "just" excellent sounding rock songs. Then again, just about every band out there would kill to have an album with no misses and multiple of the best songs of their genre. Like FoolFantastic says, they sound head and shoulders above your typical rock band. When you sound that good, you can get away with pushing the boat out less. --- Perhaps the golden rock was inside us all along. |

Topic | Rank the Albums 6 - THE RESULTS! |
Sheep007 03/27/24 6:38:18 PM #83 | Ah man, kind of a shame at the end, but I expected Illinois would have a huge outlying low rank or two. I think there's a huge gap between my top four and everything else. Siamese Dream is a solid album, but Illinois is phenomenal, and it went from being in the middle to almost getting placed second. First time I listened I didn't 'get' it, nor the second or third time, but I relistened to it once more for this ranking and everything clicked. Chicago into Casimir Pulaski Day killed me off (pun unintended) emotionally. I can't say I liked the sound in isolation as much as R.E.M. or FKA twigs, but it captures... something, like no other album I've heard.
Thanks for running this, Sean! I'm really enjoying taking part in these projects, listening to a lot of music that I never have before. I only really started listening to full on albums about three years ago, and this has definitely gotten me out of my indie/classic rock comfort zone.
