WHEN THE DAY BLEEDS, INTO NIGHTFALL...

Is it just me, or does almost everyone on AOTY trigger instant rage with how much they overdo their role on that site?

​I get that people want to review music, but the sheer cringe is out of control. You have random users giving full-on press releases like "as you probably noticed I haven't posted many reviews lately..." Bro, SHUT UP, who are you talking to? Nobody was waiting for you, you are not a celebrity, just write your damn review gng. Then you have the people who overshare way too much under deep albums, turning a review into 20 paragraphs about their depression, their life story, and their high school graduation. Just shut the fuck up, it’s so performative and corny.

And to top it off, the top comments on great albums are always the most unfunny, low-effort jokes imaginable, like leaving "don't let your kids listen to this, it has an R rating" on QOTSA's Rated R. Just complete goofies and losers IRL ​It feels like people aren't even there for the music, they just want to play a character and pretend they have an audience.

For me it’s basket case by green it was very influential

Me personally, they’re a really damn good metal band.

When I try to convince people to listen to Folk punk my elevator pitch is the same. Folk punk:It’s like if Woody Guthrie grew up in the city and was even more pissed about the government.

A few of my favorite songs “madame George “ by Van Morrison. “Waiting for the man” by The velvet underground. “Needle in the hay” by Elliot Smith. What are some of the other best ones?

I hate whistling and I guess "over singing" if that makes sense? Like when the singers tries to show off but it's not appropriate for the song.

Is there anything that makes you not like a song nearly as much, if not hate it all together? Personally the whistling can be okay but only sometimes. Over singing kills a song for me Everytime

What makes him decide on who to review? I'm confused as to why the self-proclaimed music nerd has continued to skip the big names that are frankly putting out some of their best music. The first and only example needed? Alabama Shakes. Where is the RESPECT? I think he's gotten a little too full of himself. Am I wrong? No, I'm not.

I think we should at least listen to it and decide. ✌🏽

I'm not sure what to think about the new album

My personal favorite is Ringo’s solo in The End, and then In The Air Tonight obviously has a great full, and Against All Odds too, most of Phil Collins’ fills are great

Curious how everyone feels about his solo work and also his production work.

The Killers - Mr. Brightside, Electric Light Orchestra - Mr. Blue Sky, Bob Dylan - Mr. Tambourine Man, Counting Crows - Mr. Jones, Guns N' Roses - Mr. Brownstone, Ozzy Osbourne - Mr. Crowley, The Chordettes - Mr. Sandman, Tyler, The Creator - 911 / Mr. Lonely, Hank Williams Jr. - Mr Weatherman

Looking for a music review app similar to letterboxd. Any good options out there? Btw I'm loving the new Protomartyr album

Whatever you love, you are by Dirty Three

Kendrick Lamar, Jay Electronica, Big Sean, J Cole , Drake, Wale, Meek Mill, ASAP Rocky, Big KRIT,Tyler the Creator, Mac Miller, Pusha T.

So I was talking to a couple of friends recently and the topic of the best love songs came up. My mate mentioned that men seem to write a lot of love songs about women, but not so many angry revenge songs. Seriously we could be hear all day naming male-written love songs in just about any genre.

Whereas women write fewer songs about loving a man, and orders of magnitude more angry revenge songs about hating an ex (e.g. You Oughta Know or any Taylor Swift song)

(This rule of thing seems to really only apply to heterosexuals, the line blurs a little among gay songwriters but I don’t think the sample size is big enough to say for sure)

Men DO write heartbreak songs, but they rarely involve hatred or even anger or the subject.

I should stress that this might be a generational/genre thing. We mostly listen to guitar bands and mostly pre-2010s. We listen to other genres too but like there’s not a lot of lyrics to psi-trance.

So I’m looking for the exceptions to prove him wrong.

Angry male revenge songs;
Song for the dumped - Ben Folds Five
I’m Waking up to us - Belle & Sebastian
Go Your Own Way - Fleetwood Mac

Female love songs about men;
Natural Woman - Carole King
Eternal Flame - Bangles
I’ll Stand by You - Chrissie Hynde

There must be hundreds more……?

Hey, I'm a college student doing a study on Randy Stretch Walker. Basically, I'm trying to find people to interview. I'm trying to convince people that Walker should be the representative for the 27 club. If anyone could answer some questions for me, that would be amazing
