Rolling Stone's 435th greatest album of all time
I think this is my favourite Nirvana album. There is so much rawness to the sound and the lyrics and, with the backdrop of Geffen wanting a commercial success to follow Nevermind's , it is an incredibly brave album to have made. Cobain said at the time he made an album that he would want to listen to and that is exactly what this is. So much frustrated anger and so many brilliant songs and a fairly diverse sound.
Bong Mines Entertainment (15 KP) rated Pleasures by DIRTY RADIO in Music
Jun 18, 2019
DIRTY RADIO is a DJ, producing, and songwriting duo from Canada. Not too long ago, they released their long-awaited third studio album, entitled, “Pleasures”.
“Our primary goal was to collaborate with all our favorite musicians and producers and then see what would happen. In writing and producing our past albums, we remained pretty introverted during the writing and recording process, only inviting a few key people to assist. For this record, we wanted to push ourselves creatively to write the best songs we could while remaining open to other ideas. Geographically speaking, we recruited collaborators on this record from Berlin, Brighton, L.A., Australia, Las Vegas, and here in Vancouver.” – DIRTY RADIO
‘Pleasures’ contains a diverse, interwoven array of singles which display DIRTY RADIO’s musical evolution through the lens of their irresistible R&B-infused electronic beats.
The likable project offers a delightfully diverse assortment of music ranging from future-house, garage, soul, and electro-infused R&B.
Also, the 16-track album contains relatable storylines, ear-welcoming vocals, and groovy instrumentations flavored with an electro-dance aroma.
“This album is much more focused than our previous records. We really wanted to hone in on creating music we would be excited to perform live while also exploring and improving on our style (House/R&B). Although we have focused on releasing singles for the past few years. We wanted this album to be something you could listen to from beginning to end.” – DIRTY RADIO
Since 2010, DIRTY RADIO has been crafting a satisfying synthesis of progressive soul, R&B, and electronic music.
With their diverse musical influences, the multi-instrumentalists and producers have been working tirelessly in their studio.
Also, they’ve been racking up impressive Soundcloud and Spotify numbers. Plus, releasing tracks for iconic labels such as Spinnin’, Partyfine, Majestic Casual, and Mad Decent.

Cal Brown (53 KP) rated Marvel's Luke Cage - Season 1 in TV
May 16, 2017
References the Marvel world abundantly. (3 more)
The soundtrack incredulously represents the setting of Luke Cage.
A wonderful display of diverse characters.
Interesting representation of 'African-American' culture within Harlem.
A few poor action cuts and transitions which slightly break the suspension of disbelief. (2 more)
Fight scenes are slow and simple. This could be to represent Luke Cage's nature but I don't believe it to be a sufficient and engaging representation.
Feels like it awkwardly misses something mid season after specific events happen (no spoilers). The transition of the story is poorly executed.

MacAvoy is incredible (1 more)
Sound design
A Return To Form
This movie is a lot better than the trailers show it to be, MacAvoy’s performance is gripping, electric and believably diverse. This is Shamylan’s return to form and is up there in terms of quality with Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense. The script isn’t amazing, but the actors do well with the material that they have and the production is on point. Good sound mixing, cinematography and direction. Gets a bit silly in places but is justified by the film’s end.

Cyn Armistead (14 KP) rated Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex in Books
Mar 1, 2018
Fascinating stuff! Vast amounts of sheer geekery about sex, science, and the intersection thereof. If you're looking for sex tips or salacious reading, look elsewhere. If you're looking to howl with laughter without being able to explain WHY to most people, this is your book.
Okay, one might glean the occasional sex tip, but I don't think they're anything that common sense couldn't tell you. And you'll have to wait for the very last chapter for the best bit.
I'll be adding more of Roach's diverse works to my to-be-read stack soon!

Myth meets contemporary
What a unexpected read this was. In fairness, I didn’t have a lot of preconceptions, considering my last encounter with Diana Prince was the very old series years ago. It was a exciting read, packed full of action with a great Greek mythological context and background. I didn’t expect the contemporary setting for some reason but it worked really well. I enjoyed seeing Leigh Bardugo’s words set in the contemporary world. The diverse characters were both fun and real. I could really read more from this world and these characters.

Kurt Cobain is at his literal best (1 more)
They play more than just their own music giving the album a diverse sound
This is the ultimate unplugged experience, being challenged only by maybe Alice in Chains. Kurt Cobain is at his literal best. His voice is so powerful throughout the album as he takes on Nirvana classics as well as covers of songs that inspired him, from David Bowie to the Meat Puppets and more. Nirvana Unplugged is essential listening for any rock fan, especially fans of grunge and 90s Alternative.

The Grudge's Ring II
The Grudge 2- is a decent sequel, if you like the first one, than you will like this one. This one is scary, horrorfying and spooky. Not to mention creepy.
The Plot: A young woman (Amber Tamblyn) encounters a terrible curse while searching for her missing sister (Sarah Michelle Gellar) in Tokyo. The evil imprecation fills its victims with murderous rage, but it also brings together the diverse group to unlock its secret and save their lives.
Overall it is a good movie and a decent sequel.

Rain Maida from Our Lady Peace and his indie rock wife Chantal Kreviazuk playing off each other in an awkward manner throughout one of the storylines (3 more)
Many intriguing storylines to follow
Plenty of accurate cultural and time period related storylines
Interesting and diverse characters
Rare gem
The movie revolves around one hotel room over the case of several decades, from its inaugural tenants, to a chilling scenario on New Year's Eve of the new millennium. A masterpiece from Canada which is a rare find but totally worth it.
