Seems like they're just retreads of things that have already been done elsewhere. But also, NOT with the "core" GB crew, which I get but still... I'll of course give them a shot but I'm skeptical. GB used to be an innovator and I'm worried that they're now just going to be an imitator. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

With the increases in data/technology it seems like gerrymandering will only continue to get worse. You would think (haha) that there's an eventual breaking point, right? It's one thing to have, say 60% R reps vs. 47% R votes, and quite another to have 75% R reps for 42% R votes. But I guess you'd never need to have it be that "bad" as all that's truly important is 50%+1 reps. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 08/02/21 9:31:46 PM #17 | Oh man, you guys have no idea what it's like going into some of these albums completely blind. LOL... I've not heard albums from a lot of the artists we've done but at the very least I've heard a single or two or have a general idea of what to expect. With Massive Attack though, no idea. I think I liked this? It's certainly evocative. I felt like I should have been walking through some semi-legal warehouse club party, everything dark and sweaty, possibly under the influence of some illicit substances. It felt like something to get lost in.

There was nothing here that really smacked me in the face and take notice in a good way. Certainly nothing that I would say could be a hit single. But I kinda knew that going in just based on what I'd heard. Also figured that this one probably wasn't going to be in my wheelhouse.

| Seanchan 07/27/21 3:03:37 PM #128 | It's funny, yesterday NBC showed an interview with Biles where she was saying how at 24 she's "old", doesn't recover as quickly and thinks more about the consequences and injury potential of what she's doing. I don't think that's a great mindset to have for someone at the top of their sport, even though I understand and agree with everything she said. You've got to be single minded and a bit ruthless at the pinnacle because the margins are so razor thin. NBC did a piece on the U.S. Men's backstroke swimmer (sorry, don't remember his name). He got this letter from some of the older gold medal backstrokers, who were telling him that while medals are great it's about enjoying the experience, friendships you make, etc. Naturally right after that he went out and "only" got the bronze, breaking the U.S. streak of winning every gold since 1992 in that event. I thought after that piece, "with a mindset of not getting gold is okay, he's not going to win". And so verily it did come to pass. The acceptance of failure (relatively speaking...) as an option is the death knell of an athlete. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

This is such a weird album for me. It's perfectly okay as an album but I didn't have a lot of fun doing the ranking. In many ways it just reinforced my thoughts that I already had about their singles; I kinda enjoy them in the moment but I also have almost no desire to actively seek them out. There's just something about the way the lead singer sounds (or maybe it's just the mix?) that just doesn't hit the mark for me. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

| Seanchan 07/24/21 8:35:54 PM #130 | Having now watched, the thread title is a little hyperbolic. Is it a good movie? No. It exists in that broad swath of movies that I've seen, went "meh", and will never think about again. You know, like the original Space Jam. Only part that made me laugh was the Michael Jordan bit. I knew exactly where they were going but it was still funny. It was definitely too long though.

I'm not worried about the adult unvaxxed because 95% of those people are morons.

| Seanchan 07/19/21 10:08:59 PM #14 | Did a "first" listen today. But kinda not really since I'd already heard like half the songs on this album before. It's a good album though I can't say I felt too strongly about it. Definitely get some of the "same-y-ness" comment but it's a short album so that helps. In non-Is This It thoughts, I did a listen of The Electric Lady, Monae's The ArchAndroid followup. It's pretty good though I don't think I'd rate it as an album above it's predecessor...at least based on one spin. It's also another case of the first half being stronger than the first half. Likely worth a listen though if you enjoyed The ArchAndroid. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

Kudos to whomever is responsible for this nomination! I ended up listening to Suite 1 today (i.e. her first album, Metropolis: The Chase Suite). Didn't really do much for me, though it seems like maybe there's a certain amount of story that interweaves between the suites (heard mentions to Greendown and 57821).

| Seanchan 07/11/21 7:36:57 AM #40 | TomNook posted... Someone here already said they liked the first half better, and while I'd agree (I love the second half too though!), I think there is one obvious reason why: the female characters, while maybe not impactful much in the plot, are a super important part musically. I personally prefer their vocals, but regardless of that, they also act as a palate cleanse of sort, to keep the soundtrack mixed up. The single weakest stretch of the album is Room Where It Happened all the way to Hurricane. This is a 9 song stretch where you don't have a single non-ensemble female singing in any song, except for a short 15 second part of Eliza during Schuyler Defeated. That's a great point about the women! And you're absolutely right how their great (and different) voices add to the total composition. Agree with your other character points as well, though I have to say Burr is great as well, especially when he gets to sing. I'll reiterate that I think Hamilton himself is likely the weakest part; his acting, emoting, and rapping are well done but his singing voice is lesser (for me) than most of the rest of the cast. It was only on my second watch that I realized that there were quite a few actors who doubled (or more) up on characters... --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |

You'll be surprised to find out that, yeah, Hamilton is pretty damn good! I started watching the recording on Disney+...but I haven't finished it yet (I'm about 2/3s through) as time has been limited this week. I then listened to the album on a long drive this morning. I think it does a great disservice to only listen to the album. This is designed as a play, and while I think the album is very good, I think it loses a lot not being experienced in its original form. There's no costumes, no body language and faces, no audience reaction. I feel like the first half seemed better than the second. I'm not sure if this is a hot take or not but...is LMM possibly the weak link here, at least in terms of the singing? Not that he's bad, just that the actors playing Aaron Burr, Washington, the Schuyler sisters all are just tremendous talents. King George might be my favorite part of the whole thing.

With your parents in control of the music, you listened to what they wanted to listen to. So that was a lot of classics from the 50s and 60s, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, etc. And then there was this bombastic, sprawling, soaring album. From the mind of a child, the title track was a revelation of awesomeness and it seemed to go on forever. Then that song with the weird talking at the start (yes. YES!). The slow, boring song. The song with the really cool end part. Two out of three ain't bad, which even as a kid I recognized as a nice song. The song with the baseball in it for some reason. Then the other slow, boring song that we skipped a lot of the time. Even as an adult now, I still find myself coming back to this on long trips. And even though I ranked them at the bottom, I've gained an appreciation for the ballads. I did a listen of this tonight just sitting outside and it didn't feel right. When you're in the car, you can sing along with reckless abandon and there's no one giving you that "you crazy" side eye. Because when I hear these songs I cannot help but want to sing (which isn't good for anybody, lol). All this to say that the album Bat Out of Hell holds a special place in my heart. I cannot hear that opening guitar lick without feeling a certain sense of nostalgia for being a kid, sitting in the backseat of the car, staring out the window as the country rolled by. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |
