😤 LET’S ARGUE! 😤 (February 2023 Thread)

Just wondering, as an Australian I don’t hear you talk too often about a lot of classic Australian artists (outside a handful like Nick Cave and such). Just wondering if there are any in particular that you find to be really great! In my opinion Silverchair are an over hated band and deserve a bit of a critical re-evaluation, especially considering their progression over the years!

I've been listening to Have a Nice Life's Voids, which contains the original version of Destinos, which was remade on Sea of Worry. In your review of Sea of Worry, you took issue with the sample being so long on Destinos, and you felt as though it was not related to the track at all. However, on the original Destinos (which is now on streaming under Destinos - Demo), you get a clearer picture of what the sample is there for; "what grounds does God have to forgive the most vile and wretched of people?" repeats, growing more and more distorted, and it's clear the sample is there as a way for HANL to ask, "What grounds does God have to forgive me?" Because I understood what the sample was there for, I have no issue with the length of the sample on the new version of Destinos. And I wonder, has your perspective shifted on certain tracks, or even albums, based on recontextualization of this sort? For example, let's say you listened to the original Destinos and gained a new appreciation for the sample on the new Destinos, resulting in you withdrawing your gripe. Does this ever happen to you?

Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" is one of the few albums that can simultaneously evoke a strong sense of existential dread and an equally palpable sense of hope and faith in humanity.

Billboard should stop making rage baiting lists

Mr morales is easily Kendricks weakest album lyrically. I don't know what all the hype is about. I mean production is 10/10 for sure but features are boring overly autotuned pop vocals mostly, the acted scenes are gratingly monotonous at best and there isnt anything really memorable or catchy (any hooks?) Even Ghostface is boring. Is this just the standard for pop-rap now or what?

AOTY is better than RYM. Better design and less toxic userbase.

The saxophone was a prominent staple in most 80's music but has never resurfaced in pop music since. Bring back the sax solo!

The Bloodhound Gang may have been a one-trick (horny) pony, but they made the most of their time and have a surprisingly deep catalog of catchy songs
