HLD (99 KP) rated Apple Music in Apps
Nov 22, 2018
Huge variety of music (2 more)
I personally believe it is easy to navigate - my fiancee does not
Usually a pretty fast interface
It's good, but it has it's flaws
I have enjoyed using apple music, and I think that it is a worthy competitor to Spotify. I do, however, think both companies could learn a thing or two from one another. The interface of AM is a lot better in my humble opinion, but Spotify has capabilities that AM should incorporate.
Saving songs to your library is easy - and when you remember a song that you loved 10 years ago, it is a 20 second process until it is saved in your playlist.
Browsing new songs could be A LOT better. I feel as though Apple don't put enough effort in to highlighting artists that you wouldn't normally find. Hell, even youtube is a better source for new music.
They also rehash the same 'Workout mix' or 'Alternative rock' playlists all the time. Maybe changing it up a little bit would encourage me to traverse their genre tabs for a hidden gem.

Jun 17, 2019
Blacksmith is a lyricist and producer from Bristol, England. Not too long ago, he released a transatlantic audiovisual for his “Peace” single featuring Rakaa (Dilated Peoples), Knytro, Marc 7 (Jurassic 5), and Carasel.

KatyShubo (75 KP) rated Family Guy - Season 5 in TV
Jan 24, 2019
Immoral (1 more)
The show doesn’t know where the line is
Remember the friends quote
Joey: Over the line? You — you're — you're so far past the line, that you — you can't even see the line! The line is a dot to you!
That is Family Guy summed up in a quote. Family Guy is hilarious and a few episodes before falling asleep is the best thing ever BUT I used to truly believe Family Guy was morally offensive and I wouldn’t watch it, now I see it is morally offensive it just so happens to be hilarious with it.
The voice artists are superb, songs aplenty about anything and everything and the discussions you can have are great:
How can Stewie plot to take over the world yet get really confused that Peter has vanished when they play peek a boo ?
Why don’t they age?
How come the dog speaks?
How come Quagmire has never been arrested for some of his sexually extravagant behaviour?
In short you may love this or hate this but if you hate it, it could be because you secretly love it and you are just too worried about admiring it because of how ‘the line is a dot’ to the show

Darren Fisher (2447 KP) rated Histoire de Melody Nelson by Serge Gainsbourg in Music
Dec 19, 2020 (Updated Jan 15, 2021)
Ah! Melody
Clocking in at under 30mins and 7 tracks this concept album from Gainsbourg is, for me at least, his best and most consistent album. Regulars Jane Birkin (on vocals) and Jean-Claude Vannier (providing the usual high standard of arrangements and orchestra direction) join in on the proceedings. The concept is nothing new to fans of Gainsbourg, as he accidentally knocks a young girl off her bicycle whilst out driving in his Rolls, and then seduces her (as you do).
The tracks are a blend of blissed out rock with lush orchestration and Serge providing the 'spoken word' approach with his lyrics. With the album being so short you really don't have time to get bored. First time listeners may find that a lot of it sounds familiar. It will. Numerous artists have sampled this album over the years and it is considered a precursor/influence to the shortlived Trip Hop movement in the early 90's.
After the albums release Serge put out a concept video (also starring Birkin dancing around alot) giving the album a visual aspect. It's certainly worth seeking out if you like the album.
Album highlights:
Ballade de Melody Nelson
Ah! Melody
Cargo culte

Darren Fisher (2447 KP) rated Sandinista! by The Clash in Music
Dec 11, 2020 (Updated Jan 15, 2021)
'Music For People Who Work On For Oil Rigs'
At a time when only prog-rock groups released triple albums, The Clash went out on a limb, providing a multicultural mish-mash of musical styles. Ranging from dub reggae, funk, jazz, disco, rap and even gospel, this 36 track sprawling epic covered all the musical bases. Often compared as their equivalent of The Beatles 'White' album, Sandinista! finds The Clash at their most experimental. Featuring a vast range of guest artists from dub maestro Mikey Dread, Ellen Foley and various members of The 101ers, The Blockheads, Eddie & The Hot Rods, The Voidoids and Darts(!?!) this really is a melting pot of ideas and influences.
Sandinista! can be a tough call if you decide to listen to it from start to finish, clocking in at around the 2hr 20mins mark, but I would recommend doing this on the first listen. It sets a trippy, mesmerising, and (albeit) uneven journey of a group realising there is a much bigger world out there than just London.
One critic described the album as 'music for people who work on oil rigs'. I like that...
Album highlights:
The Magnificent Seven
