NBIceman 05/12/24 3:52:26 PM #38 | Pretty good outcome for the Spurs. I'm unconfident enough in the Raptors for the next couple years that I'm glad the pick went ahead and conveyed.
Would've been nice to pick ahead of the Wizards, since I think there might be some overlap between the players they're looking at, but I'm not as worried about the Hawks or Rockets from that perspective. Happy with it. Sorry to Detroit fans, though. --- Chilly McFreeze https://i.imgur.com/UYamul2.gif |

NBIceman 05/06/24 10:17:17 AM #64 | Not surprised to see Janet drop early - figured that was probably more likely than it going far, but I thought it'd be an interesting nomination. Bit of a departure from songs that are normally on my playlist in how disquieting it is for sure, although I have seen an interpretation that the pills being talked about aren't so much medication as they are a destructive addiction that the protagonist can't stand to watch anymore, and that the "death" etc. being referred to is more metaphorical. Think you have to stretch your mind to see that one a bit, but I don't know - I've seen crazier song interpretations too.
Blackbird being my first out was a little more unexpected, though your explanation makes perfect sense. Alter Bridge isn't a band I love, but they have a few songs that really land with me and Blackbird is the biggest one. Love the vocals and it has maybe my favorite guitar solo of any studio recording ever. CJones posted... I like this. Figures, since it's an NBIceman nomination. I get the impression we have similar tastes.Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, history would definitely indicate our tastes match up fairly well. --- Chilly McFreeze https://i.imgur.com/UYamul2.gif |

NBIceman 04/30/24 2:24:11 PM #37 | I'll throw in my two cents, I guess, since I don't participate in Rank the Albums!
I love the entire Black Parade album. I wouldn't consider myself an MCR fan because I don't really like anything else they've ever done (including the rest of Gerard Way's creative pursuits), but that one just strikes a chord, and Welcome to the Black Parade just feels like the band tapped into something that they never quite managed before or again. They've been (somewhat rightfully) memed on for years for being kind of tryhard and melodramatic and maybe overly appealing to middle schoolers in the phase of their life that they later look back on in embarrassement, and WttBP isn't completely free of that, but it walks the line so much better and feels like it earns that melodrama a bit more. It feels somehow more honest in its emotions. Like, the "Do or die" breakdown shouldn't really work - it's not exactly the peak of lyric writing - but it does. I dunno. Maybe it's just a song that doesn't land if you hear it for the first time later in life. --- Chilly McFreeze https://i.imgur.com/UYamul2.gif |

NBIceman 04/18/24 10:14:32 AM #220 | I would never have guessed that criticizing Pokemon names would invite so much vitriol. For the record, I'm very far from a Genwunner and think Seel is a stupid name as well - or hell, even a Mon I otherwise love like Ninetales. And having a lore reason for something in a video game doesn't just automatically and inherently make it not dumb.
andylt posted... how many pokemon names are a portmanteau of an adjective and a nounI would contend that portmanteaus are still marginally more clever than just picking a couple of words and putting a space between them. Something like Arcanine may not be the absolute peak of creativity, but it's better than Blazing Hound. --- Chilly McFreeze https://i.imgur.com/UYamul2.gif |
