Caring about music reviews is so boring honestly. Who cares what anyone thinks of something if you enjoy it yourself

Caring about and judging what other people find interesting is also boring!

 

No one is letting reviews dictate their opinions on the music, it’s just interesting to see what others, especially influential critics, have to say about an album we like? Why is that bad

i’m a self proclaimed fishtail lover

[taco truck 33,002]

I agree with the reasons he doesn’t like fishtail, it does sohnd unfinished and also I feel like it feels out of place with even the more boppish tracks lol… it sounds like a laptop demo from lust for life era. But tbh I still kind of like it😭

Just such empty pointless discussions about nothing

Then contribute something to the conversation.

 

Anyways, Fishtail is fantastic to me, but I understand people's criticism towards it. It really is such an improvement on Tulsa Jesus Freak/Black Bathing Suit imo.

There's a certain point the body can't come back from
In one year, we've learned the turn of the mouth
The depth that the chest cavity takes
Chucky was there for three out of three
I was there for the third 'cause I couldn't be
There for the one who was closest to me
But I can't say I run when things get hard
It's just that I don't trust myself with my heart
But I've had to let it break a little more
'Cause they say that's what it's for

 

And I just can't stop cryin' 'cause all of the ways
When you see someone dyin'
You see all your days flash in front of you
And you think about who would be with you
And then there's Donoghue

Daddy, I miss them
I'm in the mountains
I'm probably runnin' away from the feelings I get
When I think all the things about them
Daddy, I miss them
I'm at the Roadrunner Café
I'm probably runnin' away from the thoughts in the day

aw this reminds me when I would force my dad to listen to her whenever he’d drive me to school

I do think we should email Metacritic and ask them to add those reviews that are missing, those are very good scores, we could go back to 82 or a bit higher to 83

I mean maybe this is not ethical to say

 

Spoiler

but I feel like we could create a bot that would send automated emails to Metacritic so that they are more likely to notice. Like not to a spamming level, but just maybe 1 a day or so? Corporate inboxes, espc distribution ones, are a mess.

It'd be nice! I will send them different letters from different emails :p

 

Ocean Blvd having the same score as COCC doesn't sit right with me.
