Severed799:

I know there’s a thread for this

Severed799:

MC does still dip ever so slightly on the final 3rd

And the name of that thread is the Music Hot Takes thread

It’s some good advice
That they just didn’t take.

LKeet6 · 2021-02-22T12:50:19.045Z

Her lyrics are good?!

Ok I’ll DM scagden as to why she’s clearly talking about stuff that wasn’t “expected” in basically every single one of the examples that get ridiculed.

Not sure why debating/analysing one of the “hot takes” (remember this did actually start with my hot take on the subject, it’s not out of nowhere!) Isn’t appropriate for this thread, or can’t be skipped over by people with no interest…

But I will say no more after this!

Ruffers · 2021-02-22T15:27:09.296Z

I mean, it’s all subjective and that…
But no they aren’t. (you are welcome to discuss it though, ofc)

LKeet6 · 2021-02-22T15:30:07.938Z

Cool. On both counts. Me and my debating partner took it private as people seemed to be thoroughly done with it

I think her lyrics are visceral and honest on that album and I like it a lot.

Not sure though if Aphex Twin ever wrote a song as good as Moonlight Shadow, ditto BOC with Kayleigh and Autechre with Fanfare For The Common Man

futilityofendeavour · 2021-02-22T17:32:13.740Z

I’m happy to be proved wrong though.

A penny for your takes, my DiSers.

disclaimer: puns are ok outside the football thread right lads

futilityofendeavour · 2021-02-22T17:44:02.973Z

There’s maybe a strong point here, but then again, it’s still using the “heavy” prefix in Twenty Twenty One!!

Listen, mate… 😡🗯 (anon_opin)

Heavy metal was great once, but has been ruined by cowardly, risk-averse bands churning out the same old crap again and again for their small-minded fans, who cry 'sellout' anytime they hear anything new or interesting

That’s so wrong my brain bends right back round into believing it must be correct.

pinkybrain · 2021-02-22T17:59:12.587Z

Listening to ‘You’re Dead’ by Flylo the other day and it kept on reminding me of Tubular Bells

Scagden · 2021-02-22T18:23:34.576Z

This is a bit like the whole ‘all post rock is boring’ statement. If you define ‘heavy metal’ narrowly enough that it only includes risk-averse and dull bands then it’s true (if not very useful). E.g. you could say ‘Svalbard don’t count as Heavy Metal cos they’re incorporating ideas from other genres’ and then it becomes self fulfilling that all that remains in ‘Heavy Metal’ (or ‘post rock’) is boring.

BobRickerton:

The Center Won’t Hold was pretty good

This. I’m not a mega-fan of SK though I do like what I know, so wasn’t really comparing it to their other work, and I enjoyed the album. Solid 7/10 for me.

furryfan · 2021-02-26T08:23:24.592Z

in turn of the century techno animal (not martin/ broadrick) named stakes, piccoto ‘lizard’ stands up better than rolando ‘jaguar’ @wikihock

Elights · 2021-02-28T22:40:49.105Z

The musical output of Steve Albini’s various projects is wildly overrated.

Ruffers · 2021-02-28T23:54:08.406Z

quite dig kerosene though, got a little groove to it, this could’ve been heavier though

Elights · 2021-03-01T08:23:10.337Z

Not to be that guy, but I think it’s just his ‘guitar tone’. Everything just seems so flat and lifeless. I know that he thinks that actually producing records is the devil and all that, but bit of a fatter pedal board would be nice…

When bands tease something on social media / do a mystery countdown, the only acceptable reveals are:

a new album
a reissue with an album’s worth of new material

No singles, no music videos, no $479 box sets, no obelisks, no shows, no announcements of announcements. Just give us an album.

thesewoodenideas · 2021-03-05T17:52:22.138Z

I’d allow shows if it’s a comeback.
Agree 100% otherwise

TAFH33:

mystery countdown

These can GTF imo

TAFH33 · 2021-03-05T20:01:36.183Z

Yeah, the latest Pumpkins one killed me. With the way he was building things up I thought we were getting the long awaited Machina reissue, the final concert, and maybe even a surprise opening of the Zwan archives. But it was just half of the upcoming album and then a sudden stop to his really interesting Instagram Q&As.
