INCOMING HOT TAKE!!!:

Superunknown is a mediocre album and the moment I stopped paying attention to Soundgarden.

Edit: and Black Hole Sun is an earworm that i did not need to revisit. Fucking PITCHFORK!

This is a hot-ish take. Down on the Upside is the superior album

Confession:

I’m a 45 year old man that has been listening to the new Taylor Swift album. It’s good. I don’t know how long I’ll feel that way, but that is the way I feel.

You’re in the right place, N&G is chocked full of middle-aged men Swiftys. Swift isn’t my thing personally but I love this place because people feel comfortable enough to share their love without worry of being ridiculed.

Maybe I just had too much exposure to you in the JQBX back in the old days for that to seem even remotely credible 😂

I’d also love to see @bfly and @Teeeee reaction to this too lol

I need to get back on the JQBX/whatever it is we are using. I miss you guys and I am letting my job get me far too stressed out.

The problem is that I got a car park space at work so I’m never on there because it was always my commute thing and that really wouldn’t be safe haha!

But yeah I do miss the random chats on there, especially during the early months of Covid.
 
So confession, I’d never listened to Shania Twain’s Come on Over. I discovered it was produced by Mutt Lange reading 1000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die. So I gave it a listen. You can definitely hear his influence on the album.

Lukewarm take… it’s not country, except for one song.

Hot take… it’s also not very good. Outside of the hits, it’s pretty bland forgettable pop with sometimes laughable lyrics. The hits are great but the album is overlong and full of trite nonsense.

Also, allmusic thinks it is pitchfork with this review, that sure doesn’t read like a five star review:

I've never listened to Shania Twain but I was a big Garth Brooks fan in the mid-to-late 90's (mostly because the place I worked used to play his Greatest Hits album on a loop) and he's not even as country as many think he is. Two of his influences are Don McLean and James Taylor, and I always thought he sounded more like them than other country artists.
