I'd say the "Justice is their true masterpiece" contingent is large enough that they can't be discounted (and I count myself among them!). Maybe too obvious, but S/T was the jumping off point for most metalheads.

Re: "she has turned from something we hadn't seen before into something all too plain," I can see that - the relative conventionality and homogeneity of The Electric Lady turned me off at first too* - but man alive do I have to disagree with "her vocal hooks didn't land." I am not exaggerating when I say I've had…

I reeeaaalllyyy couldn't get into Crack the Skye and then I hated every track they released in the lead up to The Hunter and thought "The Motherload" was pretty meh so I just never bothered with the last couple. So yeah, another vote for The Hunter here. Though I thought that track they released a few weeks ago off…

Not sure how the other response got so out of hand, but speaking as a white guy that grew up in middle-American suburbia, we didn't learn the history behind… well, anything really, but certainly not children's rhymes. "Eeny meeny…" was just a way to randomly pick someone - or, once we figured out the pattern,…

Greetings from the future, where I'm just surprised to find no one mentioned that RZA was interviewed about The Tao of Wu in these very pages, by Nabin himself no less. And yes, he flips back and forth between being insightful and being absolutely insane. It's pretty fascinating.

I don't mean to be unreasonable but everyone responsible for the recording of that piece of shit should be tried in the Hague.

Upvoted for the phrase "kino as fuck"

RIP. I wish I knew his filmography better, but Tokyo Drifter was the shit. If it "made no sense and made no money," it's because it's still ahead of its time 50+ years after it was filmed.

Hidden in plain sight

Let's go do some crimes.

"House Call"! From the argument about metric units through Pamzilla and Archer and Lana's teeny bit of character growth to the birth of Cherlene, it's all gold.

Sorry. I love that one.

"Yes, idiot! I do! Sorry. Again. I’m not myself. But you are kinda being a bitch."

"Cry havoc and let slip the hogs of war."
"'Dogs' of war."
"Whatever farm animal of war, Lana. Shut up."

"You didn't think it was weird that your cancer pills were chewable?"
"Why? Little kids get cancer."
"Aww, they do."

As with "trigger warnings" and "gaslighting" and like every damn social justice vocabulary word that's entered the popular lexicon in the last few years, "cultural appropriation" used to actually have a real and fairly specific meaning, but it's been jammed up its own asshole so many times now it's like a Klein bottle…

You know, of all the terrible borderline-novelty vanity albums by C-listers and reality tv stars, that's the only one I can still name off the top of my head. Like I know real housewives and kids on that Laguna Beach show and assorted daughters of terrible people/Presidents make these things all the time - Nabin's…

That's fantastic and I hope he got full marks.

I remember Project Pat! He had some hype around the turn of the century but never quite broke through - remember the era, going platinum didn't mean all that much circa 2001 - but I remember seeing a video or two of his on MTV. And "Whole Lotta Weed" was one of the first songs I ever illegally downloaded I MEAN…
