I need to get back on the JQBX/whatever it is we are using. I miss you guys and I am letting my job get me far too stressed out.
Hot Take/ Musical Confession Thread!
- Thread starter Count_Vader
- Start date
The problem is that I got a car park space at work so Iām never on there because it was always my commute thing and that really wouldnāt be safe haha!
But yeah I do miss the random chats on there, especially during the early months of Covid.

So confession, Iād never listened to Shania Twainās Come on Over. I discovered it was produced by Mutt Lange reading 1000 Recordings to Hear Before You Die. So I gave it a listen. You can definitely hear his influence on the album.
Lukewarm takeā¦ itās not country, except for one song.
Hot takeā¦ itās also not very good. Outside of the hits, itās pretty bland forgettable pop with sometimes laughable lyrics. The hits are great but the album is overlong and full of trite nonsense.
Also, allmusic thinks it is pitchfork with this review, that sure doesnāt read like a five star review:

I've never listened to Shania Twain but I was a big Garth Brooks fan in the mid-to-late 90's (mostly because the place I worked used to play his Greatest Hits album on a loop) and he's not even as country as many think he is. Two of his influences are Don McLean and James Taylor, and I always thought he sounded more like them than other country artists.

Garth Brooks has quite a few songs that arenāt Country, but he is for sure country.

Listened to this in full the first time this year. I remember Her songs dominating the country radio my mom listened to when I was a kid so I was excited to spend time with it. I think outside of the singles itās just ok but those singles (especially the opening track) are some of the best in country pop

The constant onslaught of new material from King Gizzard has burnt me out. I haven't even really gotten a close listen to Omnium Gatherum. I think K.G. was the last time I was like this is awesome I love these guys... in 11 years they've released 23 studio albums...

I don't think I've ever listened to a Cake album all the way through. First of all, Fashion Nugget is weird. Second of all, you all were gaga over an album with the following lyrics "the land where big fuzzy dice still hang proudly like testicles from rear view mirrors"

Correct. Itās a great record! I donāt think anyone was confusing Cake with Bob Dylan.
āDice hanging like testiclesā¦ā as a a simile is still better than actual Truck Nuts hanging from an actual truck.

Hot take, No album needs to be over an hour long. Whenever I see an album with more than hour of content I know itās gonna be filled with filler that could have been cut

I can think of a few that are great, but mostly agree.
