I just wasted 40 minutes  on this before I couldn't take any more.   This is so vapid (or maybe insipid is a better word), pedantic, and misguided it should be moved to SOCN.

Andy really went off the rails on this one.

That guy was a guest on Rick Beato not long ago, he likes him. He's a drummer who played with Van Morrison, IQ and Robert Plant.

I generally enjoy his videos. If I had known this video was going to spend 30 minutes on how ridiculous the Discovery section of 2112 is, I would have skipped it.

A lot of his videos are about 40 minutes or 50 minutes or even longer. That's too long for me 99% of the time. I see how long it is and I'm like ok I'm not watching that, regardless of how good or bad it is.

Do we actually have a thread for this topic?  Maybe this should be it?

 

Rush - a bunch of low quality, but I'll go Take A Friend

FBN - Rivendell

COS - I Think I'm Going Bald

2112 - Tears

AFTK - Cinderella Man

Hemispheres - The Trees (great music, childish lyrics)

PeW - Entre Nous - and it's still a great song

MP - Camera Eye - and it's still pretty good (though too repetitive)

Signals - Countdown (a close call with Chemistry...but Countdown's lyrics and sound effects dock it for me)

GUP - Body Electric (1001001 is kinda irksome)

PW - Manhattan Project (this is relative, because it's a start to finish great album)

HYF - Turn The Page - it's as soulless and grooveless as they ever were.  I find the chorus annoying.  Would listen to Tai Shan 100 times before this song again.)

Presto - Anagram...mostly because it irks me that most of the lines in the song are not even anagrams...but it's also pretty walkpapery as music.

RTB - Face Up.  Just dreadful.

Counterparts - Speed Of Love...although I have to give special mention to the first verse of Nobody's Hero, which almost manages to derail an othewise decent song.  Four lines in a row that don't rhyme, but try and pass as rhyming...and it is just such an awkward way to say what he's trying to get at...as if he's an alien observing human behaviour.

Test For Echo - Dog Years is the obvious choice, but I might go Half The World...just for the insipid lyrics.  "Half the world is this way, and the other half is that way."  Thanks, Neil - never realized that before.

Vapor Trails - Out Of The Cradle?  A few of these are just kinda equally bland to me.

S&A - as chemistry73 said in another thread, the run of Faithless, Bravest Face and Good News First is pretty bad, so maybe one of those.  They've all blurred into one for me.

CA - BU2B - just sludgy, Foo Fighters left overs.

I think he seems like a nice fellow, myself.
