    Yep. Obviously not the case for all bands, but in initial recording stages not all songs are all that well rehearsed as they only need to get one good take right? But it's in countless rehearsals for the shows and playing multiple gigs that really solidifies the songs so sometimes I kind of wonder if bands should hold off recording until they can perform the songs flawlessly live first. Obviously, that's a bit weird in terms of playing songs live (especially almost a whole album like in Sukekiyo's case) before recording it but maybe the album would be more refined and solid if they took that approach.

    I don’t think that’s necessarily the case. I mean bands now rarely go into the studio and record live, everyone records separately and there are multiple takes. The best take is what you’re hearing, or in some cases it’s the best parts of different takes pieced together.  In theory what you’re hearing on studio recordings is the “perfect” version. Things change live because bands can’t always recreate exactly what they did in the studio.

    Everyone here bemoaning digital releases makes me wonder how you consume music. 

    I have a couple music cds but I literally have not listened to non-digital music since the mid 2000s. Spotify for when I'm out and about and when I'm at home I've got my thousands and thousands of songs on my computer, can't imagine sitting there and being like "Hey I wanna listen to music" and then staring at a stack of jewel cases whilst I figure out what I want to listen to. So much ease and comfort with my digital library and can't even begin to imagine going back to physical.

    Some people are collectors. That’s it really. 
     

    I buy a handful of CDs a year, and all I do is rip them to my computer and throw them onto a bookshelf.  My car didn’t even come with a CD player, but it doesn’t matter because I have access to my entire library via iCloud. Not just what I bought on iTunes, but stuff I ripped too. I’m glad I own the CDs that I have, but they sure as shit aren’t being played at this point.

    I am absolutely losing my shit at how the story is being told in Final Fantasy VII Remake. But, first of all, I’m soooo glad that they kept Cloud an awkward weirdo like he was in the original instead of the cool badass we got in everything else he was in. The other characters are pretty spot on too, and I honestly was never a big fan of the original game at all. 
     

    What I don’t like is all the stupid filler stuff they have you do to pass time. At one point I couldn’t make any progress until I played a game of darts. Some of these quests and missions are really dragged out for the sake of adding more length, and it doesn’t always work in the game’s favor. 
     

    The story though... obviously don’t want to spoil, but uh... I’ll just say sometimes things deviate, and then you’ll get something literally is like “nah, that’s not how it happened” and fixes it. It’s interesting, and I get the feeling that events are going to end up changing a LOT by the time this is over. Which is good. I’m on board with Square-Enix shaking things up.

    Perhaps you want to refer to what some people here call the "guitar-wanking"? That sort of excessively chopped guitar lines and/or fast high-pitch melodies. That work is featured in both djent and math genres as well, although their differences. 

    When I see the word “djent” I think of heavy, down tuned, rhythmic palm muted riffs. MISC doesn’t chug and that’s a huge part of the problem.

    I think Rijin was the perfect balance. They should continue on this direction

    With only one dude on guitar that is most likely not going to happen unless they at least get a bassist. I think the reason for the huge shift in sound is to accommodate the thin line up.

    That’s my point, it should have been Dimlim’s decision.  Like I get they’re struggling artists and all but insisting on traveling abroad just to perform two shows when there’s a global pandemic is woefully careless. They don’t have much publicity as it is, but them being proactive about canceling rather than waiting for countries to close their borders would have been a better look.

    I am actually surprised since this is a better move than ignoring it and hoping everything is gonna be fine, but still I don´t think the situation is going to be normalized in a few months considering everything thus far so maybe canceling it IS the only choice they have.

     

    In other news I have been thinking that if Misc was a single composed of only "Whats up?" and "Tik Tok" I would have better hopes for them

    Two days ago Dimlim was insisting that the lives were still on. I’m thinking someone stepped in and told Retsu to go fuck himself.

    Didn’t occur to me that would be a problem. I watched it on my phone and the video stays in place while you scroll thru comments.
