  • After a full listen, I think that the overall sound of the record is really good, Homme’s vocal performance is great, and there are definitely some really groovy guitar parts throughout. I think the main thing I’m missing is some seriously heavy instrumental sections that just make my jaw drop, which are some of my favorite parts of other QOTSA and adjacent projects (thinking about Song For The Dead, Keep Your Eyes Peeled, No One Loves Me and Neither Do I).

    My favorite songs are probably Obscenery, Paper Machete, and What The Peephole Say. I’d probably rate the album as a 7/10 if I had to rate it? But I’m really excited to see how the individual tracks grow on me as I keep spinning this over the next little while!






  • I honestly feel like this is slightly cynical, because I think it’s much more likely that someone was coming to a new platform and looking for a specific community that they enjoyed lurking on in the past. Once they got here and saw it wasn’t created, they created it themselves in the hope that other people (or maybe even themselves in the future) would work together to populate it with content. While this is not necessarily super helpful to building the community, it does have some value because someone now can come along and find a magazine with an audience already prepared for content, instead of having to build it themselves.



  • I think the main compliment I can give this movie is that I never once checked the time. When “To be continued” hit and I realized the movie was over, I could have sat there and watched another 2+ hours. The incredible animation, likable main characters, entertaining side characters/cameos, and compelling story all combine to make Across the Spider-Verse intensely watchable, and I really can’t wait for the next movie.
