Bad opinions [ARCHIVED] • Page 163

Sorry I don't find your jokes funny? Idk what to say

 

I'm good

 

the best song of all time

 

Sorry you're so uptight any time I say things are whack

 

It was at this moment in time that CarpetElf realized who Kanye West is.

 

i ignored it

thats nice but hasnt happened

 

I can't bring myself to do it.

 

*gulp*

 

Okay, I did it and I regret everything.

 

the song is good

 

the only reason I just realized who Jake is: because 1) you said this 2) the Thursday avatar

 

I put some albums on shuffle if I have a short period to listen to music and the album has no underlying narrative. That's really not a big deal.

But throwing on a concept record or something and choosing shuffle is weird

 

yep yep yep!

 

I was hiding in plain sight

 

It depends on the concept record for me. But even then it's not so much "on shuffle" as it is me just listening to a couple songs (like Illinoise haha). I'll throw on "Wake" and "Epilogue" once a week typically.

 

Yeah that's fair.

Like the other day I had a 20 min drive to work, so I put Proper by IIOI on shuffle. While there are some underlying themes, it's mostly a collection of loosely collected songs. Doing that is normal I think

 

You lost me at IIOi

 

Well that aside throwing on an album that functions less as a narrative and more as a collection of songs is not strange

 

I've never actually heard of people doing that. I just start an album from track 1 and if I don't finish it I don't finish. I make playlists of specific themes for shuffling

 

I also go thru my library and listen to random songs I wanna hear at that moment

 

lmao thread is something else

 

Well that's just completely negative. Even if we pretend they are a greatest hits band, that'd still be multiple albums of songs lol

Even if we go with singles that have charted high: Master of Puppets, Enter Sandman, Sad But True, The Unforgiven, Fuel, Until It Sleeps, Hero of the Day, Memory Remains, One, Nothing Else Matters, Where Ever I May Roam... I'm sure I'm missing some. What a stacked discography they have.

It's never too late! You're still alive!

 

I've always been passionate about start-to-finish album format

it's not that i don't ever listen to one-off songs but it's quite uncommon. Regardless whether its spotify and i have the option or if its vinyl and I don't, the thematic changes and transitions and flow of a record are actually super important to me. Hence why I disagree so strongly with CarpetElf because I think Sufjan did a GREAT fucking job at that on Illinoise. Literally the only track I don't like on the entire record is the last one, so I just end it after "the tallest man, the broadest shoulders". Always a thrilling and totally satisfying 70 minutes dont even care that the record is that long.

 

I'd post my opinions on shuffling but they all pretty much exactly mirror @stillbrazy

Except I really don't care about how others consume their music. Though when I was a kid I made a friendship really weird because a friend and I were listening to a new album for the first time and he tried to skip a song and I got pissed

 

Yeah I mean I try to listen start to finish but fuck it time is money sometimes
