I'm excited. The singles have been fucking excellent, there's finally a confirmed release date, and Jack Antonoff has been on a hot streak with me lately. Real shame about the potentially great album art ruined by those hideous font choices.
The only thing I know is that I once dated a Tool fan and they were apparently on the low end of the spectrum for batshit insane fans. I also heard something about the fibonacci sequence and immediately decided I didn't care. It sounded like something unimportant from a fan trying way too hard to sound smart. The response on Twitter has been interesting, as it confirmed to me that there is a big difference between someone who likes MJK and can tolerate his other projects vs. someone who likes Tool in spite of or while only tolerating his presence. I think this should be a fun experience, but there's definitely a bit of context being given to me that I'd say makes it less than blind, even if I didn't have to suffer through existing in the 90's.
I have to wonder how much trouble could've been avoided if this was a low stakes release billed as "St. Vincent with Sleater-Kinney", similar to the nature Love This Giant was released under.
I'm just a bit irked that the only time he ever interacts with me to belittle and mock me. My mental health already sucks enough without smug Breakfast Club dude rubbing salt in my eyes every time he sees the opportunity.
Does anyone have a fucking clue who anyone in this story other than CHVRCHES and Deftones are? Seems like a good enough reason to have top billing to me.
The production effects on the chorus of "No Drug Like Me" easily make it my favorite cut. I really appreciate an album where everyone has a different answer to what the best track was.
Lil Nas X is the ultimate argument in favor of the monogenre as an experimental tool in pop music. Look at the fruits it bore, people on a music website are actually agreeing with each other on something!
That cover is an all-time classic and I have no idea how anyone could've ever found the original listenable. Granted, that also applies to Sublime in general, but there's still an amazing amount of talent and craft that goes into making one of their songs not suck shit.
"Go argue that shit on the New York Times op-ed page. Here we have actual morals."
This is exactly why I prefer Splinter over just about any other political news outlet.
What would you consider the faults of democratic socialism over a purely capitalist mindset? Going by your logic, assuming no changes in structural inequality will occur, you must have some critiques of the system itself to prefer a complete shill like Harris. After all, racism would still exist even if the system doesn't change, correct? Right now it just sounds like you're mostly comfortable with the status quo and are disturbed by anything more "radical" than the ineffective liberalism that led to Trump in the first place.
