Song of the Moment: Sirens

[stip]

phew, made it

if you've read them only once I don't think you can really get these posts, you might have to start again

if RM doesn't hold my interest anymore I'm not sure it's worth the time. There's lots of other message boards I could be posting on.

So, you're saying Riot Act didn't have any hits? I agree. That could be one reason it sucks.

I am not a Riot Act fan . It is not a radio album. I like Backspacer better but I'd have to say the quality of the songs on RA are better.

This is one of the reasons this place is annoying. It's as if you're implying 'high quality' is synonymous with 'not being played often on the radio' or even broader 'not being liked by the general public'. Does this mean Adele's Rolling in the Deep and other hits are not 'high quality' (for her) because they were played on the radio often? The songs of hers that are not played often are therefore, 'higher quality'?

This is why I say "hipster" to describe folks here. Hipsters love to say they like stuff that no one else likes, or that the stuff no one else likes is the highest quality. Contrarian may be a better word, but I've also used that to describe some here.

What's with the qualification (for her)? You don't think Adele being played on the radio proves their quality?

I think he's making a good point.

Ed was so fucking unhappy at that point. His life was truly on a knife-edge.

Anything happen in the last 30 pages or so?

It got so so good for a while, chud.

Better than PJ Chat has a right to be.

Go on...Sum it up for me, or point me to a post to start with.

Is that why you're waiting for her to play it for herself?

I've been saying that sales is a reasonable proxy for quality for an individual or band IF and ONLY IF it's used to make album by album comparisons for ranking that individual or bands material against itself. I suppose you could say radio play for said individual or band's singles - relative to their other material could work too, but as I mentioned earlier singles are different from albums and probably a worse proxy. So, I'm not sure what you meant.

I will say once you try to extend this from one individual to compare individuals (or bands) across genres, I'd say it doesn't hold. In other words, comparing Justin Beiber to Pearl Jam doesn't make sense with sales. But, comparing Justin Beiber's albums to Justin Beiber's albums does.

It's getting hot in here.

So take off all your clothes.

Lob pass and slam dunk.

You said that Adele is quality FOR HER, meaning that you don't think Adele is as great a quality as, say, Pearl Jam. I wonder why you'd say that since, by your logic, she's much better because she sells more records.

Mature. What I said was true. You implied that high quality is synonymous with not being played often. That sounds like a fun world to live in.
