As long as we get at least one more appearance from Fourvel.

I'm giving this a thumbs up just for reposting the same thing from the article I was literally just reading before this one. But I think some of the phrasing is off on lines 2 and 4.

That's what I wonder—is the lack of polish deliberate—a "punk" thing, or artistic inclination—or laziness, or even accidental? I maybe tend to view it as one of the latter. So while I do like them quite a bit, I also think they might be over-rated.

Cool stuff. Man, I went through a fairly intense period of interest in Dali awhile back. The museum in Tampa, of all places, is truly amazing. I went there several times back when I was living in Florida.

Yeah, that's one of the main elements I wrestle with. I've always been a big Depeche Mode fan, and like 'em or not, their work always seemed meticulously crafted. There isn't a note/beat/bleep out of place. Whereas New Order's has that feel that they either didn't know what they were doing, or didn't care enough to…

Yeah, Age of Consent is great, obviously. And I like other tracks. I may just need to listen a few more times. It's just one of those albums whose reputation had me thinking, "oh, this is gonna be GOOD"…..and then I listened, and kind of felt like, "huh. That was it?"

Yeah, there's an element of their music that often seems not quite finished, to me. They'll have a great melody, or beat, or whatever….and then the vocals, or something else, sounds like a first take or something. It sometimes just sounds like they just got tired of working on it and just went "ah, screw it, let's…

I do like Your Silent Face. I need to re-listen to the rest.

I was surprised at the lack of NIN. I figured most everyone who lived through the time ended up with a copy of either Downward Spiral or Pretty Hate Machine.

I've always liked New Order's hits, and recently finally picked up Power, Corruption & Lies. Thing is, it really didn't hit me at all. I still like the hits, but there's something I find it hard to connect with for much of the rest of the album. Starting with We All Stand—I was just like, "what IS this?" I dunno.

I was just wondering about TMNT. That seems a pretty glaring omission….or series of them.

Just saw this. Yeah, it does attempt some kind of "commentary". It's also complete shit. I think I sort-of half-chuckled once.

Ha! The problem is, they keep getting brought back. By the time I'm about to set fires about Jean Grey, she's back again! It's all so confusing.

I'd say there's a defensiveness within them—heck, I'm still conditioned to be defensive about comics. I know, if I say something like "I stopped by the comic book store last night!" to anyone but another comics fan, there's going to be a look, or a thought: "NERD!" So I don't typically talk about it, or only with…

I get this, but I also think it's not how most people use, or mean, the word. Nobody calls sports nuts "nerds", unless maybe they're super into stats or something. Being a sports nut still seems to be a socially acceptable obsession. Being a guy who collects comics is not, except within the comics world. "Nerd"…

You may be right, on all counts. (Goddamn dopest included!) My impression is that while "nerd" may be a bit more socially acceptable these days, it's more a case of just being ubiquitous at this point, rather than being "cool". Nobody will make fun of you for liking a Batman movie, but you might still get looks…

I'm living proof of that, in that I DON'T (currently) read a lot. Still a nerd, though.

Not to mention, the very act like enjoying something seems to be considered the only requisite for being a nerd these days. Aside from blurring the very definition of what a "nerd" is, it's like everyone is encouraged to maintain minimum interest in anything beyond what society has agreed is acceptable. Otherwise,…

Sigh. I know I'm not supposed to care, but I saw another article recently that made another equivalence about "nerds" and "reading". Must we, even jokingly, imply that reading is somehow uncool, socially awkward, or otherwise unfashionable? Besides which, there are plenty of genres one could be reading that in no…

Well, they better include Captain Mar-Vell. And Monica Rambeau. And all of the subsequent characters who took the mantle.
