"Assuming kills" - @Moondrelor

"That's not to say that Nvidia is always better, or that AMD isn't worth owning. But the fact remains that this forum is AMD biased." - @App4that

"I'd imagine there's exceptions to this trend - but just going on mine and my acquaintances' purchase history, we've found that budget cards often require you to turn off certain features to get slick performance, even though those technologies are previous gen and should be having a negligible impact" - ace42

Apologies for so many quotes in advance - I don't revisit this thread as often as I should, so I end up picking up where I left off every single time. This means 15 pages of reviewing wonderful (and some not-so-wonderful) tracks from you guys. Without further ado, my thoughts on the tracks that caught my ear are below.

Mmm Train is one of those bands where people know their one-hit-wonders, but their lyrical creativity really shines through in their lesser known songs.

I knew I had heard this already, but couldn't quite put my finger on where - DIAMANTE is on Spotify's Heavy Queens playlist. If you use Spotify @Crunchy Dragon you probably already have this saved, but if not, give it a listen. ?

Oh Ashley, everytime I hear you all I can think of is the heroin running through Matt's veins. :( Hopefully he was able to kick that habbit so you won't need to write his death song. :S

I've been catching up on one of my most favourite artists Sarta Jarosz and the band 'I'm With Her'.

And here I was thinking this was a COVER SONG since I heard it 3-4 years ago. Feels bad, cause now I have to fix this by listening to EVERYTHING. ❤️

But then the version of the official live recording from Amsterdam that same year.

The day we lose Peter will be a sad day, but at the same time, a day to celebrate his legacy alongside Genesis, Phil Collins, and the Newman family.

If you like Aurora @lewdicrous I highly recommend checking out Sigrid, Allie X, and Anna of the North. Album below has some of the same vocal vibe, although is a bit faster paced than the Aurora song above.

Although I'm not a huge fan of Simon & Garfunkel or Disturbed, David's rendition of The Sound of Silence sends chills down my spine, and really rounds off Immortalized to the point where I enjoyed the entire album.

I always forget the complete and utter shit-show of garbage that was The Bloodhound Gang - I mean this as a compliment, because their songs really do crack me up.

BIG FEELS from a time when hip-hop & rap meant more to me than flashy jump-cut video tracks with auto-tuned mumbling. I miss the peas.

Spotify recently served up Unleash The Archers' cover of Stan Rogers Northwest Passage song in one of my playlists a couple weeks ago. The first 2 minutes showcase Brittney's vocals until the song drops right into our regularly scheduled metal prowess. And they're from Victoria, BC to boot!

Oh right, and now a track from me, because it wouldn't be a What Song Are You Listening To thread without sharing. This bouncin' plain as fudge dance track (complete with typical clap snares & predictable drops) came up on a super secret custom Spotify playlist I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about... So I'll just say thanks to Paul!

"Marry Me" is one of those songs I'd like to hear playing on the day of my wedding... assuming I ever get married

There is more that meets the eye

Had the song since 99/2k, not sure where I picked it up (alternative addiction, napster, mIRC or a dozen other places).  Never could find out where to buy it, till now; 'googling' for it back then was fruitless.  Apparently was released on "Edgefest 99" of all damn things.  I was actually shocked/pissed, until I saw the other tracks on the compilation and realized I own the original discs for 90% of the contributing artists in it(edgefest'99) and was like... "Oh; I might have opted not to buy it back then anyways" ... so... yea.

Cliffs of Gallipoli.

† † †

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
 
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
        In Flanders fields.
 
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
        In Flanders fields.

 

 

Cry havoc and let slip the Togs of war.  (Signature V3)

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭13:14

So I finally tripped over some of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake coverage.  Actually looks good, but so did FF13 which I didn't care for beyond the battle system.  At least with FF7 I've confidence in the story being good(unlike ff13), however I can easily see the presentation getting foobared.  Either pacing, sprite charm or any number of 'moments' getting lost in translation for the remake. 

What I am most interested in at this point is the music though.  Am curious if its member-berries or straight up objective, but I gotta say a lot of the original tracks sound better than what I've heard from the remakes coverage I've seen.  Not that they're bad by any means, just that I like the OG a bit more.
There's a lot they get right and it does seem like they're making a bunch of variations trying to 'nail it'

 

 

... yet it often feels like the energy/climax drops out just a moment too early in the remade tune, that there is too much going on audio wise when you don't want/need it, and that it doesn't hit high and/or low enough on key notes; all missing by slivers feeling like chasms.  Leaving me feeling ike wife whos man gets off a bit too early bringing her close but doesn't finish the job.  Like its a crime to hold a note for more than the briefest of moments suddenly.

Will be interesting to see what the eleven-teen yr olds of this generation who jump into the remake 1st then hear the OG take away from it as I am sure I've more than a few biases at play here.
