Not sure if We Lost the Sea counts here, but listening to Departure Songs definitely digs into my heart in a certain way. Does anyone else have any songs that make them emotional?

I wanna listen to worlds be destroyed, my bros

Closest I’ve heard might be some of Jakob’s stuff

I know post-metal isn’t really known for this, but “Ayil” by Rosetta just gives me such a hardcore punk, “live chaos” kind of energy. I’m not sure if Night Verses counts here, but some of their heavier songs make me want to get up and move.

Any songs in particular give you this kind of feel?

I see a lot of questions about the plot, criticism for the amount of lore surrounding the series, and people calling Eva “fake deep” because the themes are actually simple.

Maybe I’m reading too much into it, but if I look at Eva from a somewhat figurative lens, what I get from it is: life can be downright miserable, people are complicated, and being lonely sucks too, but love and happiness are still possible.

Maybe the complex lore and plot-lines just ways of channeling the messiness of life in their own way, but then again, maybe that’s just me.

I currently live near Seattle, and I’m thinking of getting an Evangelion piece once I move to the L.A. area. Does anyone have any recommendations?

And what songs or albums push that boundary?

Hi, everyone! I’ve been primarily a Honda owner for a while, but I’m curious what a non-salesperson has to say about these cars.

Economy and reliability are my northern stars, but I also like to listen to music on my ride, so I’m wondering if road noise is a big difference between the three. Why would someone consider a Camry over a higher-trim Corolla, or vice versa? Are the higher trims even worth it for either model?

Sorry if this should be a Google question, but thank you in advance!

I was listening to “Jane Doe” by Converge earlier, and they way it feels like the entire album is building to the last three minutes before sounding like a sonic apocalypse is just unparalleled, in my opinion.

Another one for me is “Good Morning, Captain” by Slint - when that “I MISS YOU” hits, the entire album just clicks.

“Woolworm” by Indian Summer is another one for me.

What are yours?

All right, so I’ll try my best to explain my situation.

When I was in the military, before I went on deployment, my former spouse and I decided to trade in both of our fairly new, smaller cars for an SUV, since we had a child and multiple pets. She wanted to get a luxury vehicle, and we ended up walking out with a $1,300 car payment, because we were stupid, though we could afford it at the time.

Fast-forward three years, we’re divorced, she’s moved out of state, I’m out of the military, and I’m stuck with both the car and the house on one smaller income, and I can’t reasonably afford this payment.

I’m still somehow about $10K upside-down on it, my credit is likely more or less shit (500s, I hope), and I’m just trying to lower my payment any way possible to try and rebuild my finances after being married to someone who had a very different philosophy on them.

If I trade it in, I just want something basic - a used Corolla or Civic or something would be ideal, but I’ll take new if that’s what I can get. The only emotion I feel toward my current vehicle is resentment for being stupid enough to cosign it.

I just want a reasonable payment so I’m not swimming upstream. I can maybe try to stay afloat until I’m no longer upside-down, but with all of my other newfound responsibilities, I’m unsure how realistic that is.

Should I just try both and see what I can get? I’m admittedly desperate and have no idea what I’m doing here.

I’m not necessarily talking the “greatest” or your personal favorite, but an anime that made you think, “This is pure art.”

Something that transcends the medium and becomes something truly special.

How straight-up beautiful can black metal get? How would you even define “beauty” in a BM context? Would it be atmoblack, post-black, blackgaze, DSBM, meloblack, black ambient, folk/black, something else, or any and all of the above?

I’ve seen the original run twice now, and it’s still my GOAT series pick, but I’m wondering if it’s worth it to go to the theaters to see Death (True)2 + Rebirth.

How essential are they? Will I be gaining anything by going to see them?

Thanks, fellow Eva fans.

I’m looking for something on the lighter side, almost like Cult of Luna’s “Dim” - lots of clean, shimmery guitars but with harsh vocals saved for the right moment, if that makes sense. More beautiful, post-y twinkles than crushing waves of heaviness.

Clean vocals are cool, blackgaze and doomgaze are also fair game. Thanks in advance!

Edit: also *shels!

I was inspired by the other thread, but I wanted to invert the question in two ways -

1. Are there any bands who started out kind of mid but then “clicked” or really pushed themselves later in their career?

2. Are there any bands who were around for a while, maybe a decade plus, before finally getting the recognition they deserved?
