  3. yep. I'm stupid. Thanks.
  4. help me out here, I'm stupid
  5. Ey, it's a great album. But not flawless.
  6. Oh it's a great song. But it DOES sound dated. Both of these things can be true. And on other tracks on that album, they just don't hold up well at all. But there's some serious cognitive dissonance in praising the sound of Purple Rain while dissing it in 1984. Absolute bullshit.
  7. You say this, and then you criticize Van Halen's virtuoso Oberheim synth work. And I stand by my statement. Linn drums sound like shit, and always have. Roland 808s and Simmons, now that's an entirely different story. Though even the 808 can sound like crap.
  8. Really? You're... just now noticing? Even in the more popular tracks, the sound has not aged well.
  9. And what do you say about its sequel? Because I'll watch that one, too.
  10. All the thought they put into it was "1984." It was a great year. 1982 might've been even better. As for superstardom, I count... Prince, Madonna, Van Halen, Wham!, Kenny Loggins (for the title track to "Footloose"). Maiden was never a superstar (though they ought to have been, and this remains one of their best if not THE best album, and far better than most here), Metallica's orbital launch was the black album, Turner was ALREADY a superstar to the previous generation, Run-DMC didn't launch until 1986's Raising Hell.
  11. I think you got those backwards. 1984 only had synths on three of its 9 tracks, and all 3 of those were recorded performances of EVH playing. Purple Rain had preprogrammed synths on ALL its tracks, and a lot of those aged badly. They're well-written songs, but they sound horribly dated with their ancient ass MIDI drum machine shit. also i wouldn't buy it because my brother already had it and I'd just listen to his copy
  12. The entire bottom row. Fuck it, I'll buy the lot. Just one? I already know the answer because that's the year I joined the Columbia Record Club. I got two of those that I remember, and only one I still listen to. 1984 baby
  13. he tanking all right
  14. How does he compare with Sam Spence?
  15. Now THAT'S an NIL opportunity.

    Tron Ares

    Jared Leto Teases ‘Tron: Ares’ Villain Will Be Teen Girl Who Lies For Attention LOS ANGELES—Revealing new details about the highly anticipated film, actor and producer Jared Leto teased Wednesday that the villain in Tron: Ares would be a teenage girl who lies for attention. “If you thought Clu was scary in the last film, just wait until you meet Kaylee,” said Leto, who shared that the antagonist would stop at nothing to destroy his character’s career with her false allegations, no matter the repercussions they might have for multimillion-dollar projects. “I play Ares, an AI being in a race against time to save his reputation from a malevolent and vindictive teenager. Many of the characters in the film assume that Ares is the evil one, but it’s only because they’ve fallen for Kaylee’s twisted lies. Ares is innocent! Plus, pretty much everyone can agree she looked at least 17 at the time.” Leto added that even though the movie took place in a sci-fi world, he thought its story would be relatable to many powerful men his age.
  18. What bothered me is that this is a 3-week e-library loans. I had to shut off my Kindle's WiFi for the past month. I just finished Part II last night. Also, I picked it up when I was binging webcomics, so for weeks I wasn't making progress. But yeah. The due date made me feel rushed.
  19. I'm enjoying it, but it's JUST so damn long...
  20. I'm struggling to finish the first one.
