Jul 7, 2024 This is an extremely heartwarming message to read, I had a similar experience but less heavy with the movie Everything Everywhere All At Once, it's nice when art can change people for the better or at least get someone to think a little differently!
Jul 7, 2024 That’s right, I remember you saying something about that. I gotta check that movie out. It’s dope that you had a similar experience to me. But yeah, art changing people’s lives or minds is what it’s all about imo. I’m glad someone gets it. Sometimes when I talk to my friends they don’t understand why music is so important to me. This type of s--- is exactly why! Plus, the communities that music creates (like the community here) are incredible and truly valuable.
Jul 7, 2024 If you had problems with nihilism the 3rd act of that movie will destroy you lol. I think some people don't have those kind of experiences cause they don't engage with certain kinds of art on that level, which isn't even necessarily a bad thing but I f---in love when a movie, show, or song can get me to cry or think about a situation differently or some s---. Way better than just tanking something that's trying to be emotional lmao. Glad to hear you're doing better btw. Believe you said it before but not in depth.
Jul 7, 2024 I change my score for ripper roos album from 5.5 to 2.5. Don't want in being a head of 36 or Isiah
Jul 7, 2024 Oh I’m ready for it lol. I see that it’s on Netflix, I might watch it tonight True s---. Some people just see art and life differently. Some people have things they’re more passionate about than music. Like lately I started watching WWE again and I realized that above all else professional wrestling is an art. And it’s s--- like that that just makes me look at life differently as a whole. Thanks bro That means a lot, I still remember you were the first person to engage with my posts when I was starting out.
Jul 7, 2024 Wow, you’re always trying to rain on my parade. Don’t worry next time I’ll pick an Ab-Soul album just for you!
Jul 8, 2024 Claio - Sling 3/10 I just couldn't get into it. It didn't grate my soul but I still could just not find a way to enjoy it. I didn't even manage to listen to the whole album. So I know this isn't a very fair review and I was debating saying I'd sit this review out as I didn't finish the album but then I figured I'd tried so no matter what, my opinion is relevant. That's all I can say.
Jul 8, 2024 I'm not attempting to persuade anyone this week but I've listened to "Americana" twice since I picked it and it's still a classic to me lol Kinda weird I picked that album though, wasn't my original plan. I was drunk when I picked it lol
Jul 8, 2024 @AOTWClub @Ripper Roo Clairo- Sling has been tallied a bit early and it's in 3rd place with a 7.1 Loved the pick and the album was really solid in my opinion. Something I definitely wouldn't have checked out so appreciate the pick @Ripper Roo ! Try and get your Offspring- Americana reviews done before Friday if possible because we all know that once eminem drops Friday we will be distracted! As I said I'll be reworking the schedule a bit during TDOSS week. I'll let you guys know when I've made the changes on the main page!
Jul 8, 2024 The Offspring – Americana This is one of the odd weeks where I get the monday off so I had plenty of time since last night to listen to this. Favourite tracks - Have You Ever, The Kids Aren't Alright, Walla Walla, The End of the Line, No Brakes Least favorite tracks - Feelings This album was an incredibly enjoyable listen from start to finish. While I know The Offspring, like most people, I never really dove into this album specifically, though I did know a few songs. After 3 play through what stands out to me is the consistency, there aren't any truly bad or absolute skip tracks on this record. ‘’Why Don't You Get a Job’’ gave me flashbacks of elementary school. It was nice and a bit weird to hear a song I hadn’t heard since I was a little kid. The opening line of that song is something everyone loved repeating. Same with the opening line of Under The Influence from MMLP. Anyway, while I wouldn’t place this album in the prestigious 9 club. I personally hold Smash as the holy grail, this album certainly holds its own. Going with a weird decimal score on this one. 8.7 @AOTWClub
Jul 9, 2024 I'll get my review in early this week. I've listened to the album twice now and I feel that's enough as again, it's not my genre of music. The Offspring - Americana Score: 5.5/10. Inoffensively offensive rock music. Or offensively inoffensive. Probably works both ways. Basically it's about as main stream as I feel the heavy rock genre can get alongside Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Hearing Pretty Fly for a White Guy was nostalgic as f--- but pretty much everything else just blended into one. The short tracks made this a much easier listen and something that wasn't really the norm back then. Overall, I didn't hate it. But being serious, this is a hip-hop forum. It would be nice to listen to some actual hip-hop that I haven't heard before. No more of this edgy "oh, let's really push their limits for s----s and giggles" malarky please. @AOTWClub
Jul 9, 2024 This whole club is about different kinds of music man the first like 4 picks were hip-hop lol
