Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!

Radiohead has always been a singles band for me. I haven’t listened to an album in its entirety since The Bends.

Whilst we are on a nice run of music chat, rather than shouting at each other about overrated American tv shows, I’ll add my tupence worth...

Muse are...awful.

Seconded.

 

[gaporter]

The King of Limbs is the least appreciated Radiohead album. That's a shame it's one of their best.

Now this I could get on board with

The Voidz >>>>> The Strokes. I actually saw someone else say this, but I agree. More interesting band.

zoe camp is that you?

- Alien > Aliens

I love the first four Alien movies because they feel like they're all from completely different franchises. There's absolutely no reason why those four movies should be related at all because they all have wildly different tones, plotlines and filmmaking styles behind them. But the fact that they're supposed to tell a somewhat cohesive "story" is fascinating to me.

I think it's their worst

Rattlesnake! Rattlesnake! Rattlesnake!

I will say, to @Joe Mac's credit, I did not really like that one at first.

You're not alone, lol. I don't think it deserves the hate it gets, personally.

Love it!

Pablo Honey doesn't deserve the hate it gets. If it wasn't from Radiohead it wouldn't be vilified like it is.

Its not a bad album, it’s just up against it in that discography. It’s also not, to its immense credit, The King Of Limbs...

The only song on Pablo Honey that's as bad as it's reputation suggests is "Thinking About You".

Also "Creep" is a good song. I don't give a fuck I like it.

 

[Joe Mac]

Also "Creep" is a good song. I don't give a fuck I like it.

It’s a fucking great song and comically Johnny Greenwood’s attempt to ruin it because he hated it actually makes the song...

DUN DUN!

I like it but I can see why the band got sick of it like they did. They've started to come around to it again in recent years, haven't they?

I think it’s more they’ve learned to accept that their fan base loves it tbh.

That said the song they wrote about how much they hated it is even better again...

 

[Count_Vader]

Californication is a GOAT music video.

Those are my favorite albums as well, along with FMB (which I do really like) and I have MotU but I'd maybe trade it for Sketches, I don't like it as much as I thought. I look at it differently, I think they are having a great time and doing whatever they feel like and not trying to craft any masterpieces or anything, which I think is kind of respectable in and of itself, it just means some of them are worth buying to me and some aren't. Depends on whether or not it seems to click with me that time.

Do you feel similarly about (Thee) Oh Sees? I feel kinda similar about them but their highs are higher for me along with less lows. They are one fo the few artists I take a chance with on pre-orders (Even though the last one was probably the weakest recently for me).

Thee Oh Sees are alright IMO. They're consistent enough but when they do sort of branch out, it captivates my interests a lot more, as their discography has had mostly natural progressions. They're still not a band I'd freak out over or heap a TON of praise onto, but I have a lot of faith in them to put out work that's at least pretty good

I love the first four Alien movies because they feel like they're all from completely different franchises. There's absolutely no reason why those four movies should be related at all because they all have wildly different tones, plotlines and filmmaking styles behind them. But the fact that they're supposed to tell a somewhat cohesive "story" is fascinating to me.

I know that the first two are really the only ones that are critically lauded, but I know a LOT of people who would say Resurrection is their favorite movie in the franchise. It's almost astounding how the franchise can still feel barely pieced together after SO many films - for better or for worse, no two Alien movies are exactly alike
