Agree 100%

For what it’s worth, I think this is outrageous and not in a positive way. But, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. 

I struggle with this a lot myself. Both are perfect. 

For me, Mad Men is much, much more re-watchable than any of the other shows in the last decade, Breaking Bad included. I’ve blown through the whole series at least four times, and regularly tune in to specific episodes whenever I’m bored. A lot of this has to do with the fact that it is much more nuanced than its…

I agree with everything here. And, “The Fly” is one of my favorite episodes. So much of Breaking Bad’s power came from its cliff-hangers and moving from episode-to-episode in a rapid-fire way. That was all perfect the first time. To me, it’s like a really great action movie/thriller. Love em in the moment, but don’t…

I was literally shocked to see Breaking Bad at number one. I like the show quite a bit. But, I feel like the appraisal of the show has changed of late as the luster has worn. For example, I have tried re-watching BB on at least three different occasions and its always a struggle (first two seasons, in particular).…

As a total aside to our larger argument, I love Government Plates. Good shit.

Yes, I can confirm you’re reading that correctly. Fuck yourself.

Devil in a New Dress, Gorgeous, and Runaway (in particular) are all super impressive. 

First, fuck yourself.

I mean, you’re not wrong. 

I will also add (in unison with the author) that Kanye raps his ass off on MBDTF in a way he’s not done before or sense. And, the lyrics are top-notch. Power, Gorgeous, Devil in a New Dress, etc., are all fantastic. 

I hate reading and hearing about Kanye West. He is a major doofus.

Are we free to listen to Lizzo’s music and think it’s terrible? 

I’m not sure I agree that Lindelof’s remix is as “thought-provoking” as Moore’s original story. But, I did really enjoy the pilot. I think revising history with a Redford presidency that caused American society to shift leftward in the wake of the squid attack was a brilliant narrative move. Thrilled to see where…

Thanks!

Thank you to all who provided a response! I’ve listened to The Boatman’s Call, which I really dug, especially ‘Brompton Oratory’ which, of the Cave songs I’ve listened to so far, is my absolute favorite. 

I listened to Boatman’s Call and loved it. Aside from the opening track, ‘Brompton Oratory’ really floored me. 

Interested non-disciple asking: where does one start with Nick Cave? What is his consensus best album? I recall listening to Skeleton Tree and being unimpressed. But, I really am wanting to do a proper deep dive because, by all accounts, I should love Cave.
