Weird. I still feel like I never understand those two idiots. Sounds like their stances are opposite of what I imagined them to be. Always thought Liam was the dumber one. |

I'm picturing someone trying to put the mask on Noel's face while he squirms around flailing his arms like a 5 year old. "STOP IT! THIS IS FUCKING BOLLOCKS!"

Public transit is like the #1 place to be wearing a mask
![]() I had to do a training downtown last Friday and took the subway. I had a cloth mask on with a more traditional surgical mask over that and even then I felt anxious with so many people wearing no masks at all. The masks cover the pervasive urine smell that cloaks the city of angels, so I'm no sure why anyone would be against wearing them here. |

I'm not defending his stance on masks, but I think the point about restaurants is the inconsistency involved with saying being maskless at a gym, for example, is a clear transmission risk, but not so in a bar or restaurant. IMO restaurants should still be takeout only and bars shouldn't be open at all. |

Few starts to any album have blown me away on first listen like 3rd Planet/Gravity Rides Everything/Perfect Disguise. I was like 16 at the time and it encapsulated everything I was feeling so perfectly.
I didn't get into the entire album until years later but man it really stuck with me. Probably a top 10-20 album for that decade. |

Noel has drifted conservative over the last decade or so, similar trajectory to John Lydon - so what you get is him being outspoken about having shit politics. Liam hasn't, thankfully. |

Liam is a straight-up bozo even without bad politics.

The Black Album is Jay-Z's best album.

If Reasonable Doubt (#1) and The Blueprint (#2) didn't exist, yes.

Can't get on board with that "first album is the best" bullshit. Not with an artist as good as Jay-Z.
It's The Blueprint at the top. |

Blueprint I can accept at the top. It's iconic and influential.
Thing is, as a lyricist and rapper, Jay was never better across a full album than he was on Reasonable Doubt. It's actually startling to listen to albums like Magna Carta Holy Grail and then go back to Reasonable Doubt and hear how confident, witty and fluid he sounded there. Can't Knock the Hustle/Politics as Usual/Brooklyn's Finest/Dead Presidents II (perhaps his best song)/Feelin' It/D'evils is as good a run as exists in hip hop. |

There's no doubt it's a phenomenal debut.
Of course, I don't think Jay has slipped as far in general as many do. You're right about Magna Carta too, but The Blueprint III is better than it has any right to be, and 4:44 was surprisingly solid and different. I mean, the guy is a billionaire, how good should one expect his output to be at this point? |
