I see Chino is still croaking into every first word whenever he sings a clean part. That pained vocal fry thing is far too grating for me to deal with even if the guitar tones and the yelling sound as good as ever

So, Stephen Carpenter hits the 21st century idiot trifecta: he's a COVID truther, an anti-vaxxer and a motherfucking flat-earther.

Shinoda remix of "Passenger" not much cop imo

I thought this thread got bumped so we could further discuss how awesome Ohms is. We can still do that, of course, but… ugh.

xxp.there was a response chino had during an interview for this album where he danced around the “both sides” issue that had me wary of his views.
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Friday, 13 November 2020 13:53 (three years ago) link
From the vulture interview this year:
No matter who you are or what you do, I think most people deal with that dichotomy in life, having days of feeling like you’re your better self than others. I’m a work-in-progress. But yes, the song is acknowledging that. But it’s also about being frustrated with the times and how everybody, not to be so literal, because it’s not political or whatever — but it’s like everybody’s right. Everybody has an opinion. Everybody’s barking at each other through the fence, and it drives me fucking mad. I don’t want to have to pick a side. I want balance. I want to be able to make a decision that doesn’t have to go along with any one side of any argument. You know what I mean? That song actually also speaks to that, I guess, whatever. Everything is so polarized.

conversely, “ohms” is explicitly about climate collapse
i do not think chino is infected with brain worms, obv this post may age poorly
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 13 November 2020 14:55 (three years ago) link
anti-vaxxer shit is for some reason extremely seductive, i know a few people who should know better who parrot that shit and it’s hard to peel them away from it

stef’s “i’ve never gotten sick so illness must come from the mind” line is v familiar to me too lol

i think the shinoda remix rocks btw simon, he turned it into a sayonara wild hearts song (arguably this is also what purity ring did to "knife prty")

i will say i found the clams casino remix underwhelming and the dj shadow mix whelming but everything else here is various kind of successful i think
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Thursday, 10 December 2020 22:07 (three years ago) link
clams casino worked for me as a low key intro
I know there's not a lot of competition for rock remix records but this is already one of the best a few songs in
