The Illinois choice makes me notably sad because I would have taken both The Predatory Wasp and Night Zombies over everything in this contest except for New York I Love You But You're Bringing Me Down, while Man of Metropolis can't even win its first match. I think it's actually my least favorite o...

By the way, Dexter, nice profile picture

Also, I feel the need to repeat this:

I'll keep that in mind.

Oh god, what a tough match up. Both albums are truly great, and the Little rabbits is probably my favorite discovery in the game so far. There are some slightly weak parts (very rare, though), but the good moments are so good. Songs like Karen and Bad Days are really good. It's like a fusion of The...

I feel like my statement "if greatness can be argued it is not subjective" is being taken a little out of context here. What I meant when I initially said that was in regards to "greatness" as a dimension of some work of art, in the same way that the length, width, and weight of...

Welp...See, I'm really bad at planning things, and I'm actually starting what is essentially this exact project but with video games on another forum in a couple days, which means I need to tie this together within the next three days. Unfortunately I have been left with a bunch of films that will ...

Personally, I wouldn't say emotion, but feel. Otherwise, completely agree with you GucciLittlePiggy. Through and through.

It feels like no matter how many times it is said, you're going to go back to the same points. People look at films for different reasons than you. That's it. The end. It's a waste of my time to say anything more, because I'm pretty sure everyone else here understands where I'm coming from, while a...

I'm guessing that it won't be a movie from before 1970 due to some bias against "old movies". On this forum? I doubt it. Well not from the majority of voters. But all it takes it one voter with said bias to deny an old film all 20 votes. Mmm, yeah, I guess so. But looking at my votes, I f...

Elliott Smith - Roman Candle vs Nil Frahms - Spaces Both albums are almost at the same level. Neither seems groundbreaking, honestly. Nil Frahms has some good moments, but overall, it has far too much fluff. Seems sort of pretentious. There is a lot better electronic music out there, IMO. The Little...

I'm surprised that the Residents lasted so long.

Your memory serves you correct, I am an architecture student. But there's a lot about architecture that is objective, like whether the building would stand or not, or the best way to construct a certain building component, or how to properly coordinate your HVAC system with your structural system i...

Hmmm...Is it 2001? Citizen Kane? Maybe Vertigo?

luney6

Okay. Thanks Romain.

luney6

The fact that you would weigh one opinion more than other suggests that there is a difference in quality of the opinion, and hence that not all opinions are equal, right? And what about architecture?

Luney6, I think you are allowed as long as you did not vote for that particular matchup. I don't know. I don't make the rules. Anyway, I got my first win! After getting completely shut out last time, I finally have a horse in the race by the second round. Because Brad seems to be maintaining anonym...

Okay. I have a step by step method worked out now. I think it will resolve this argument at its roots, perhaps in favor of either side. I remember reading somewhere that you're an architecture student Nick. In that case, if everything is subjective, then why do you study architecture? And if you wer...

Haven't heard all the albums from this week yet. Grizzly Bear - Yellow House vs. Captain Beefheart - Clear Spot The Grizzly Bear album was a fantastic discovery! Very dreamy psychedelic music, that is well arranged. The only drawback is that the songs don't seem very memorable. Normally, I love Capt...

Kiss me x3. Considering votes from someone who has already participated are allowed.

I have noticed the same thing you described, Gucci Little Piggy, happening to me as well, with album covers and the slideshows on youtube videos. But then again, how does the color the song appears to be affect the quality of the song?

I think that there is definitely a way to measure the merit of art, and that stems from the intellectual effort put in by the artist. I mean surely, as PlasticRam said, it is possible to see that The Beatles were a better band than Nickelback are, and for this simple reason. And this objectivity ca...

INteresting discussion, and I very much agree with some of the points brought up. I think that this theory is absolutely applicable. In the end, nothing exists but the art. Time will generally see to it that everything else washes away. Tagging interpretations and the artist's own personal experienc...

Since it's been made clear that my opinion has no value on this forum, I don't feel comfortable doing write-ups for any of the films I didn't outright claim.

I agree with Gillingham and BleuPanda.

Many artists that would otherwise have made even my top 10 will be omitted.

The Feelies - Crazy Rhythms : One of my favorites in the tournament. I like the Replacements and this album, but they stand no chance against the Feelies. They would've done better in most other match-ups, though. The Cure - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me : A sprawling album with so many influences. Not ba...

As others have said, fantastic list sonofsamiam. I really love a lot of albums on here (the ones by Sheena Ringo, Mercury Rev, Spring Heel Jack, Boredoms....etc...etc..etc..). And a lot of them I've not really heard before. Looking forward to exploring.
