The Top 5 List Thread

[no country for old wainds]

I can't remember ever saying something that idiotic

I mean, it's a notch below 'sun but that "tombs of epic hidden dynasties..." section is one of the most spine-tingling moments of the year

what you actually said was "Fortune and Glory would be like a 3/5 song if it didn't have that spinechilling outro"

I might stand by this actually, that gorgeous part transforms the whole song. When the chorus comes in again after it, it's 100x more starry-eyed and stirring.

Bands I saw live the most in 2021:
4× Fatdick
4× Gravel Pit
4× Ripship
3× Bodysiege
3× Mammuthus

More live show geek numbers. 2022 wasn't top 5 friendly - just Mammuthus ×5 and no other artists more than twice.

Seen live the most in 2023 (Ripship moved to Wellington, lucky me):
7× Ripship
5× Dole Bludger (Kiwis love band names with bludger in them too)
3× Old Man Pine
3× Simon Donald
3× Total Violation

Seen live the most in 2024 (but now I was finally based in Auckland again):
11× Brackenwood Coven
5× Exit Sign
5× Forsworn
4× ...a six-way tie between Cesura, Chlorine, Cyanide Altar, Ripship, Soul Stroke and Threat.Meet.Protocol

Anyone who hasn't seen it should just go in blind and watch it now without trying trailers or anything. You may be impressed. I haven't seen it since it came out so I'm due for a rewatch too.

How the fuck can you rank second higher than fourth?

Why is fourth better?

 

[Slammed]

If you don't know you don't know.

 

[Cronopio]

I guess I'm a sucker.

 

[Slammed]

Maybe, but there is no reason to be hard on yourself about it.
