AC/DC

Yep you can, but it probably has to be through the web interface instead of an app. I created ![email protected] myself a few weeks ago, there were no restrictions. It’s literally just the button, then you go through a setup wizard.

You’ve tried the WORST, now try the THIRST-quencher

Seconding Broadchurch, it’s incredible. Big Little Lies too. Poker Face arguably counts, with its Columbo-esque “just one more thing” motif. And The Flight Attendant gave me a lot more respect for Kaley Cuoco (of Big Bang Theory fame), though it’s also got some (darkly) comedic elements. Naturally, do a cursory search for all of these before passing them along: I enjoyed them, but idk what your grandparents are like…

iOS user here on lemmy.world - I mainly use Memmy. But because all the apps are still pretty young, I also use Mlem and Liftoff (e.g. right now Memmy errors when I try to post, so I do my posting in Mlem). So far, it seems the most analogous to Apollo, which I had really enjoyed. Btw login issues are weird, like right now I can login on Chrome but not Firefox (mobile, that is: desktop Firefox, my daily driver, is fine)

Edit: just tried Voyager because of this thread and it rocks, may replace Memmy as my main

A+ movie. Also makes me wish I could find the early 2000s TV series. It’s probably not worth revisiting, but I’d still like to try.

Yeah! Interesting how many different approaches there are to metal album art. I don’t see a lot of “abstract art” examples like this one, but it’s really captivating

Wow terrific! I’d thought Vincent taught me never to pass up Don McLean, but then I didn’t know Grave from the same album

I always enjoy that element in their music! It's part of what I keep coming back to Maelstrom for.

TIL! Thanks for the factoid: my dogs have definitely gotten covered in burdock plenty of times too, maybe I should invent something about it

This is the kind of oddball stuff I come here for, thanks for sharing!

I should have known RoS would elicit some opinions, ha. But yeah I know exactly what you mean! I frequently have a similar reaction to some recommended release, where all the members are playing the hell out of their parts, but some stylistic choice just isn’t right for me. Much like for you it’s the balance/fit, I’ll be weirded out by the mix, or an unusual vocal style (see Spite as a deathcore example), or OSDM drums that keep distracting from everything else.

Thanks for chiming in! This makes me curious now, especially since tech death is a less-listened subgenre for you: what are some of your AOTY picks? One of my favorite things about metal communities is getting fresh input from fans with a different perspective than me, I tend to end up with discoveries I wouldn’t have made on my own.

Brb taking a deeper dive into Obscura! I had not given these guys their due, this is frenetic and wonderful

Yeah! That jaunty stylistic switch-up of Don’t Go Out into the Woods Alone was really catchy (and hilarious) too. I also loved how debut Planet Storm did space themes without going full Rings of Saturn aliencore in its sound.

Hell yeah borther, Murmaider was my JAM in the late 00s

Well jeepers, if both mods of a death metal community reply to peer-pressure you into creating your own community, you might want to do so: ![email protected]

Lol dammit - looks fine on mobile, thanks for the heads up

Love this album. For anyone else who's interested, they also put out a couple albums under the old name Dayum (Encyclopaedia Metallum: Spire of Lazarus, Dayum)

Incredible, excellent work!

Oh sweet, glad it’s been helpful! And good to know about bandcamp’s recommendations, I hadn’t thought to check there
