read the book when i was like 14 and gave a class presentation my power point sliders had hella animations like 90 secs each
influential

its a fantastic book

i need to re read it man

been over 10 years

im an adult now different perspective

its great to re read as an adult. as a kid you dont really grasp a lot of it. it can come of as holden being like a brat.

but then when u reread it as an adult and you realize hes this like broken person whose a victim of so much tragedy you feel so bad for him because he only wants to protect kids from the same thing he went through. makes your heart feel heavy

lowkey felt similarly when i re read flowers for algernon a few years ago another beautiful book

what the helly I read this book in HS but i forgot the year it was published wow man was casually reading this book

one of my fav parts is when this guy whose his roommate is going on a date with a the girl he likes and is ignoring holden while he shaves.
and then holdens other roommate, who he describes and pimply and gross comes in and tries to talk to holden who holden ignores because he looks down on him.

how the roommate looks at holden like holden looks at the other guy, everyone is one both sides of that at the same time constantly to different people.

that really stuck out to me when i re read it

never read it

that emote f***in hilarious considering the story features a mouse lmao

it's really beautiful but it will hit you in the feels

oh charli

damn insane im in synch with the universe today
ill ss I might read it!

This one for all my green heads. Surely you look at this album and think there’s no way this guy made the music equivalent of the color green ? Well, you’d be 100 percent wrong this album from start to finish will make you start seeing green . It’s kind of like ost music that would play when you either beat the game or there is zero enemies around . Great album

@shaleirose

I was quick to skim the album the day you recommended it and was pretty excited because it was apparent there was a good variety of styles on the album and everything sounded well-produced/engineered — all trademarks of an album that I’m surely gonna enjoy.

Unfortunately, that’s not what ended up happening for me. Every song on this album is well-made and functionally does what it’s intending to do, but, and to be honest, lacks a strong sense of personality

Perhaps, I’m underestimating how large of a factor the language barrier is, it’s possible I’m missing something else entirely. I just struggled to find the flair or finer details that would connect me more to the music here. The instrumentals are competently made, Silva is hitting the notes, but a certain pizazz remains missing.

I’m curious to know what you and others connect to with this album. I will say the run of Girassóis, Vou Falar De Nova, Já Era has a nice momentum. Carmesim is my favorite song due to the beautiful strings and Gabriele Leite feature. The cover art is also quite beautiful, a physical would probably be cool to own.

Feel free to tell me if I’m tripping or want to point out what you appreciate about it. In the meantime, I will give you my honest rating of 5/10. A middling score for an album that felt very “middle of the road” to me.

I dont have much of a frame of reference for electronic music, i don't listen to it much. So it was a tough listen but i was vibing by the 2nd song and after a couple of relistens. Stone cold 369 kinda feels like i ripped a whole in the matrix or something. I like crosssection too, it was super groovy . sound feels like im underwater which is weird for an electronic / edm type album

Overall i feel somewhat positive about it , i should probably check out more electronic music

Favorite tracks

Stone cold 369
Absence
Crossection
Pepper boys

Listening now

@atthepyramids Will edit this post with a longer review later, but I really enjoyed the album

The textures were amazing, not a single miss on the album

@Echiham will submit tomorrow, crazy ass week yo 🫂

Felt that s*** so deeply you reposted it at 4 am

I REALLY f***ed with this

I been looking for music from that time period that has this specific sound and this hits all of those marks. It’s sensual and smooth and jazzy and funky, it’s perfect for for a late night drive, this is right up my alley

A few of these songs sound vaguely familiar so I feel like I’ve heard them before either on the internet or on the internet, but it was great to hear them in a full album context.

My favorite tracks are Club Lonely, New Dance Beat, AHHHH!, Dancing In My Sleep, and Funny How You Love Me.

Now I’ma see if there’s an affordable copy on Discogs I can cop because I need this on vinyl

Damnnnnnn, I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy it that much

Honestly it’s been a minute since I’ve heard the album so I’ma relisten to see if I agree with some of the criticisms you have of it

Lets GOOOO man

i wouldnt have guessed it made its way to tiktok or elsewhere on the broader internet but thats be cool if true

all good
