@RASIE f***in loves this album

A little too camp for me

@Aruji Big Heat

It is super campy haha and damn there are some all time bangers on there. Right out the gate with the title track and Pick it Up. Huge jams

I actually was watching a random movie from the 90s a couple months ago and the title track came out of nowhere on the soundtrack and instantly got my attention. Wish i could remember what movie it was

Edit: It was Night of the Creeps from 1986, same year as the album.

Idk it's campy but it has that cinematic noir atmosphere. Reminds me a bit of that one Noir Archer season I really loved + the songwriting is stellar. Guy is such a great storyteller here.

was it good? the film sounds interesting?

Yeah Night of the Creeps is great 80s horror romp.

And yeah i totally agree with you for sure. The album sounds so amazing when it's played really loud. I swear when i blast it in my car, i feel like i'm sitting in the center of the arrangement and i can feel every sound. I think it might one of the most well-thought out albums in terms of mixing.

Again, perfect example, "Pick It Up and Put It in Your Pocket"... Those synths are so damn PUNCHY, then the harmonica comes in so loud and clear it's like it's in 3D, and then the chorus hits and his vocal suddenly go from up front & clear to moving "back" and fuzzy. But even when you try to listen for that vocal change, it's almost impossible to pinpoint the moment it happens. It's all so damn smooth.

And of course thats not to mention the like 50 other instruments throughout the song lol. I swear that one song has just as many different sounds as the entirety of Remain In Light

I heard it in something a while ago too but it wasnt that lol

I feel like hes nearly a household name or used to be anyway

The Pleasure Principle used to be one of Fam thread's classics. We used to blast "Metal", "M.E.", and "Films" back when we would all join one of those group DJ websites.

@WASHINGTON is a big fan for sure too

man why does og Planet of the Apes get so much acclaim

the fact that it gets mentioned in the same sentence as 2001, Rosemarys Baby, OUATITW, Kuroneko etc when people discuss 1968 triggers me

I mean i think it's great, really great even. But who the hell saying it's on the level of those??

the general consensus and that a****** Suzuki probably

@Aruji you need to get that Kuroneko watch in

Zardoz did it better... the camp

love Kubrick's quote about how he he lost best costumes to Planet of The Apes because they thought he used real apes. However, the film as a whole is solid. I like it but it's nowhere near the others

Fortunately i am not familiar with that general consensus

I will

Almost rivals peak Mizoguchi/Ozu/Kurosawa for me

Every book and website mentions it as a highlight of the late 60s

Zardoz is so much better

Even if 2001 didn't come out the same year, I think I would still hate on it but especially having 2001 that year makes it seem so bad. Couldn't think of anything I liked about it.

Not my canon

Zardoz is kino

Need the Oil to get revenge on de Cats @Bizzle

1983: Gretzky and Edmonton lose to Islanders and beat them the next year 👀
2008: Crosby and Pittsburgh lose to Detroit and beat them the next year 👀
2024: McDavid and Edmonton lose to Florida and.... 👀 Maybe it's written in the stars
