I don't get self titled

I swear this isn't a ragebait post but I just finished listening to self titled in its entirety and I've now heard the first half of DGD's discography (WISIRO to DBM2) and I really do not like self titled. I don't get the hype or praise around it and I think it sounds messier than DBM 1 contrary to what others love to criticise DBM 1 for. I absolutely hate Uneasy Hearts Weigh The Most and I don't get why it's one of their most popular songs. The album as a whole felt very underwhelming and undercooked compared to both DBM before it and Happiness after it

The only songs I liked and would relisten to were Alex English/Buffalo/Me And Zoloft Get Along Just Fine/Caviar/Reprogramming Mental Preprogramming/Skyhook, the rest bewilder me. I also have the (probably) unpopular opinion that I liked how Jon Mess sounds here although I think the lyrics are kinda shite but lyrics has never been a focal point for him anyway.

I'm just wondering if anyone else secretly feels the way about S/T or am I just insane

Bloodlet's lost songs

Does anyone here by some miracle have Bloodlet's 1992 cassette tape? It seems like the last track "Only The Strong" is lost media.

There's also two songs "Truth" and "Canker", and Truth is allegedly the closer for the 1992 self titled but I don't really have proof it exists, while Canker was only released as a live version.

I already find it suspicious that Eclectic has the entire 1992 self titled on it except for those two tracks and I suspect the band themselves might have lost it.

If possible I'd love if someone uploaded Only The Strong and Truth for us (or just me, I dunno) to listen. Thanks

Bought a new aolong v1

I heard these aren't so easy to find nowadays. So it's really convenient that the local physical shop still has a few in stock (although it seems this was the last black 57mm)

It's weird how drastically different my aolong v1 and v2 (specifically the 增强版 version) feel given that they are almost identical apart from different plastic used, the v2 feels a lot more rigid and controllable and is probably one of the best non-magnetic cubes while the v1 is just eh

The woman on the album cover of 10.21

Always been a personal question of mine. Today I looked it up and turns out she is unidentified (if even a woman)

"The process involved grabbing assets from anywhere I could find them (books, magazines, printed material), scanning them and pushing my parent's computer to the limit with Photoshop and Quark. People have asked me who the woman is on 10.21 and Chris and I laugh because we have no idea {laughs). We're hoping she reveals herself one day."

Hopesfall demo

This might be a stretch but does anyone here happen to have hopesfall's 1998 demo? If the recording sounds different from the same songs off of The Frailty Of Words I'd like to hear it but I literally couldn't find it anywhere on the internet apart from some pictures.

Why does Wikipedia Mobile not follow my system font on the main article? How do I make it follow system font?

Don't mind my system font I'm just using it as an extreme example

I bet you've never seen a dayan cube in primary before!

Mail day yesterday and I got this zhanchi because of its unusual colour. Playing around with it I realised why dayan probably doesn't make cubes in primary often, the sticker colours don't work really well.

Worth noting that on Cubicle the taiyan is listed as having only primary or grey, but taiyans are really rare anyway. I've also seen a primary guhong in a YouTube video.
