It's not as weird

its not supposed to be

and just cuz its not as mindblowing sonic exploration esque doesnt mean that its not super creative and still new territory for the band

when Giggy Smile enters the groove about halfway through

Was expecting the zenith of their unique abstract sound architect style this album sounds like it could have been made by Can or Amon Duul or anyone (so far, only a couple listens)

ok just try to disregard all those expectations then lol

approach is still massively different than those other bands to me, theyre all equally distinct from each other. its certainly not funky (or atmospheric) like Can or having psychedelic freakouts like Amon Duul or Guru Guru. nor super electronic like others

When you realize a discog has peaked

@Elric i never realized RHCP name dropped Station to Station on Californication

after that you've still got the 71 Minutes of Faust archival comp and recently unearthed "lost" album Punkt if you want

former is pretty solid but i havent got around to the latter yet

Still seems very good and interesting but you know what I wanted will report later after a deeper marination

Their last album too lol

They also covered a song from Low on one of their tours

Killed it too

Cobain, Bowie and Star Wars references in one bar I hadn't noticed either but that was probably the first time I've listened to Californiacation in 60 years. Almost a callback to Cobain's line about a Leonard Cohen after world.

Knowing how much of Neil and P-Funk stan Flea is rhcp will always be fine with me

nah man haha tbh a few real ones said it was kinda underwhelming but tbh I just haven't really been in a metal mood..

What bout you broski ?

Been playing that Elden Ring, broski what weapon you using ? I'm still going with the Uchi/Samurai vibe but I got the Great Stars and something called the Godskin Peeler that looks sexy May have to switch it up

I haven’t been in a metal mood either but I decided to give it a spin and I really enjoyed it. It’s prob their most accessible album though so I can see why people might not enjoy it as much. Off first rip tho I was into it

I’m still rolling with the Uchi as well, I’ve got it up to +17 and it’s doing the job so far but I have so many weapons I still want to try

My Uchi is only +8 and I throw on that Bloodflame when needed. But yea I wanna try out different weapons too haha

Still waiting to find something as powerful and badass as my Bloodhounds Fang which is +6 and always glowing from Scholars Armament. I'm blasting spells with my meteorite staff half the time though.

She was just feeling herself and dancing like she didnt gaf, while wearing an outfit that was like a mix of glam rock and lingerie. It was great vocally too

that flip attack is nice

Elden Ring is so good Haven't really touched it since I beat it (..twice) but I'm there when they drop the DLC

i got to the godskin duo way too under leveled, didn't want to grind, and lost my momentum in elden ring

i gotta get back on it

How much of the map would you say you explored
