Rockstar doing quite a bit of heavy lifting here but I guess he’s closer than any of us. Glass Beach has around 500k monthly listeners on Spotify - nothing to sneeze at, but hardly making the zeitgeist.

It’s the only hardcore album I’ve ever felt compelled to listen to front to back, and it’s probably the only hardcore album I’ll ever buy a vinyl of. It feels like they really took the time to make it a solid album experience.

Fuckin nice.

Haven’t they also had some wild hot takes on certain albums? Maybe it should come down on the specific reviewer but I think Pitchfork took the reputation of being kinda off its rocker.

Black Sabbath is my dad’s favorite band and I have NEVER heard of the Tony Martin era.

Also started seeing this today while browsing on my work computer, which I believe utilizes a VPN.

Dance Gavin Dance have had three “eras,” though most fans seem to like all of them despite maybe having a favorite. They started with Johnny Craig on vocals for their first EP and record, then fired him and got Kurt Travis for two albums, then brought Johnny back for another album, then replaced him again with Tilian Pearson for the rest of their career to date (aside from a small tour where he was replaced by Andrew Wells due to a rehab stint.)

I’m not one to rush to Dylan’s defense on much, but 50 years can do a lot to change a person’s mind.

Exactly. They recognize that defederation is the nuclear option, but it’s the only effective tool they have at the moment.
