i'm just very surprised at how much this board seems to rips on the majority of music they've put out that isn't weird or unconventional. few notable exceptions, like stip, who appreciate that these guys have tried different flavors of the same genre - that that is their bread and butter - and that maybe venturing out to a completely different genre is going to put a lot of people off. i wouldn't be Cardi B fan and be stoked she decided to change it up and sing a country song. i wouldn't call that brave or ambitious. some artists thrive at something and and history has shown much of the time when they try to reach for something uncomfortable it comes off contrived and just plain poor. why this board is gaga for what PJ doesn't do best is beyond me.theplatypus wrote:I don't know what to say here, MikeyIsGodMikeyIsGod wrote:CDM was not good. does that help my alternative/indie street crew with the board?theplatypus wrote:I'm not a fan of DOTC either but I think it is cool that they're trying something new for them, especially after what could be their career nadir ("Can't Deny Me").

Yeah, that's a weird take.Birds in Hell wrote:There's lots of love on RM for Pearl Jam's more straight-ahead rock material, I have no idea what you're talking about.
haha i'd wager that that fan happens to be a country fan (and therefore probably not a Cardi B fan).theplatypus wrote:But what if you genuinely liked Cardi B's country song

i understand matt recorded the drums live tracing over his drum machine loop but the soul of the song is electronica. just because there's a hint of guitar from mike doesn't make it rock.

while the last 3 albums were not legendary there were definitely some solid songs on them. songs i enjoy hearing frequently. this board slags off pretty much everything after Riot Act on a consistent basis.Monkey_Driven wrote:Yeah, that's a weird take.Birds in Hell wrote:There's lots of love on RM for Pearl Jam's more straight-ahead rock material, I have no idea what you're talking about.

i'm speaking from a probability standpoint. my guess is that Ven diagram is probably nearly just two circles.LoathedVermin72 wrote:Your thinking on this stuff seems to be very limited.
