Randomly Crap Out Your Opinions Thread

Wankfest? Pardon my french?

Elitist, hoity-toity, solipsistic, pompous, playing only for themselves and no one else, etc.

I didn't mean for my initial post to come across so insulting, by the way. I love prog (mostly the art-rock strains) but it is generally an incredibly self-indulgent/pompous form of music. That's part of its appeal, really.

It's a bit hypocritical to complain about repetition or simplicity (there is a big distinction between them despite the fact they often overlap) and then praise Pinky Floyd; never heard 'Echoes'?

As of late I find lush, minimal, textured, repetitive swells and drones more 'eargasmic' than bombastic ADD infused complexity. But hey, opinions.

All that stuff about electronic music and hip-hop though, pulling no punches, is just plain ignorant.

I am very, very extremely picky with hip-hop. I pretty much dislike 90% of it. There's something about rapping most of the time that's very unappealing and a good mulch of it needs to have some form of cursing or any other miscellaneous suggestive content which is a massive turn-off.

Electronic music is far too vague to pinpoint anything out. Love some of it, dislike others.

I'm quite indifferent to reggae, then again I never really had bothered too much with the genre.

RO: The drama occurring in the Queensryche camp is the most interesting thing the band has done in the past 20 years.

This is not a lie, sadly.

I hope you realize that 4 of your artists have a TON of material in 4/4. BTBAM also can't write a compelling song to save their lives.

Aside from that, there's so much more awful stuff going on in this post that I don't know where to start.

i agree with this, that's why for the most part i am taking aspirin and trying to just ignore it, that and everyone else seems to have summed it up nicely

Be a normal person and bottle your feelings until you eventually explode.

4/4 can be a chill bro

Taking 4/4 and making it sound like it's not 4/4 is a lot cooler than odd time, IMO.

Polyrhythms, syncopation, and strange ratios (including hemiola) FTW.
