Spotify shows us that today it’s all about the singles and not albums ?

[TAC]

Maybe I am just being picky,

You?? Nah....   

[Ninjabait]

Delicate is gonna end up being the most successful song off Reputation though I don't think it ever even broke the top 10

And this is good and right because Delicate is the best song on Reputation.

You have a funny way of spelling Don't Blame Me

I haven't listened to the album but it's the only song I've heard off it that I actually like, so

I seriously, seriously debated whether it's actually Don't Blame Me. A very close second, I think.

What I notice (and this is completely unrelated to the post I quoted) is an increasing negativity towards these threads, though, and honestly can't see why.

I will agree with Parama:

I mean in this case as I've already said the premise literally isn't true so

Not agreeing with the guy is fine.

For me at least, it isn't about whether one agrees with him.  It is that he sets a premise or multiple premises that simply are not true, which makes the entire discussion pointless.  It's like a thread discussing the merits of releasing fluorocarbons into the atmosphere, but posing the question with the assumption that "fluorocarbons turn the sky an obnoxious shade or orange, and as we all know, orange is the favorite color of terrorists.  So what do you think about releasing fluorocarbons into the atmosphere?  Should the government regulate them?" 

Plenty of people on this forum were clamoring for him to be banned by the time he had posted half of dozen threads.  As I always do, I pointed out that he is not breaking any forum rules and is entitled to post what he likes, provided he does not break rules.  Yet, after many, many efforts to try to get him on track with the WAY he posts, he has ignored those efforts to guide him to the point that he is about an inch away from my patience running out and him being kicked off these boards.  So that should tell you something.

(I quoted only the above post, but all the other answers I got have merit)

Ok, now I see why and how some of you can get irked by WR's posting ways. I hope he sees it too and takes action in order to keep getting the answers and opinions he (I believe) honestly seeks without negativity attached.

I think the thing that bothers people most is also how many of these threads there are.

One solution, if he's up for it, is to have a single "WildRanger asks about music" thread where he can post these sorts of questions in one place. If he starts the thread, he could even update the title when he has a new question/observation so interested people can check it out.

Might get some good discussions going but without annoying people.

What do you say, WildRanger?

Fair, Delicate is also like my 3rd favorite for the album. Ready for It, I Did Something Bad, LWYMD, and New Year's Day are probably my other favorites from it. The whole thing's darn good tho

I'd rather have threads like this than a million and one roulette threads, as bizarre as the premises sometimes are.

Tool refused to be on Spotify.

So do I.

I guess Tool and I have something in common.

Considering there are usually three roulette threads running, and depending on the schedules it can get up to six which it never does (not counting people who are just updating us on the albums they've got suggestions about), I don't see how that's a million. That sounds like a personal beef with the roulette threads.

[twosuitsluke]

Roulettes are arguably the best thing about the GMD side of DTF!

[Crow]

the only good thing, tbh

[twosuitsluke]

Roulettes are the most consistently great thing. Periodically other great threads crop up. I love the 'guess the album cover' thread but it doesn't stay active enough

I literally suggested the exact same thing months ago in multiple of his threads and considering all of that got ignored, I doubt it'll see the light this time.
