A band I really like announced a new album after a decent hiatus, and when they put out the tour schedule, I couldn't believe it. They're playing a venue in my neighborhood. I can walk to it, and it's THE NIGHT BEFORE MY BIRTHDAY. Perfect, right? I bought a ticket (at a great price) immediately. So what if no one I know wants to come with me? I don't love that it's SRO, but I'm a grown woman, I can probably find a decent place in the crowd without getting squished. The time and place of it seems fated!

Well, the album came out. And it is APPALLINGLY mid. Every song sounds alike and I think they spent their entire hiatus getting up their own assholes narratively. I don't want an entire evening of THAT. It all feels like a cosmic joke. At least it's not a milestone birthday.

I mean, most bands don't play ONLY their new stuff, you most likely would get to hear some old favorites...

[philstar22]

I would think this was about Sabaton if not for the mention of the hiatus. There new album is really, really meh and not up to their usual awesomeness.

[(Anonymous)]

As others have said OP: bands won't just play their new stuff, they'll play a mix because they know that's what's the audience will want. So yeah you'll probably hear a few tracks you don't care for, but you're still going to hear the ones you like.

So don't fret. :)

(Or if we're wrong come back and yell at us :P)

I’d be willing to bet a lot of money they know the album is mid and play as few songs from it as contractually possible. And any band that tours is going to play their biggest hits and fan faves. I’m actually jealous because despite your misgivings, I think you’re going to have an awesome birthday eve concert!

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, usually bands mix old hits into the play list. Also. Some albums are just better live, this can be the case

[(Anonymous)]

I’m really curious to know what band it is. I’m sorry the new album is mid, but I hope you still have a great time, OP! And I hope they play all your favorite songs too!

[(Anonymous)]

Oof I feel you, OP. I kind of have to laugh because I've been there and am also there. My favorite band of all time put out a new song last week, I finally got to hear it a couple days ago and it is so aggressively mediocre I'm sad. They also posted up a t-shirt with the song title on it. The shirt is awesome, I need a new one since the one the lead guy gave me in 1996 is too ratty to wear. But. The song. It's not good. SIGH.

[(Anonymous)]

So I have a band that has been on hiatus forever and just announced an album "releasing soon" but no dates or anything and I live in fear* of it being mid or disappointing, because the rest of the albums have been pure joy of which I rarely find in music. All this to say I definitely understand where you're at. I'd be so sad if I finally got a a chance to see this band that has brought me such joy and excitement and then it was a mid experience. And it's like an extra tease with them being right "nextdoor"

I do think the other anons are right that they'll most likely play a mix, but I understand the disappointment.

I'd love it if you posted in the general comments after you go about how it went!

This show was recommended to me some time ago because #relatable
I couldn’t watch it past couple of episodes because I had a full-blown anxiety attack. I was already past my full-time office job at that time. And the job didn’t last THAT long, and it wasn’t especially toxic. If you don’t count me saying every other day "no" to unpaid overtime. I feel like such a weakling.

[(Anonymous)]

It sounds like the job environment affected you negatively and the show reminded you of it, no need to beat yourself up for that. You are being quite hard on yourself in this secret. IME bad work environments can really get into your head. I've had jobs that weren't "that bad" on paper but brought my mental health down a lot because the day to day experience of working there was awful.

It may not be the worst job experience out there or whatever, but what you went through sucked and had an impact on you, it doesn't have to win a bad workplace competition or anything for that to be true. And you're well within your rights to avoid the show if it brings back unpleasant memories. Just my opinion!

[(Anonymous)]

I’m sorry that happened to you, OP. That’s awful. I hope you have a much better job now!

I wish there was a dedicated place in fandom where I could go to participate in shipping wars. I don't want them poisoning general fandom spaces, obviously, but I'd genuinely like to be able to go somewhere and just argue my face off about how my ship is the bestest ship and how rival ships are boring and/or give me the ick. Not because I think it actually matters, or because I think one ship is objectively better than another, or because I think one ship is more moral than another. None of that. It's just that I would enjoy being able to argue vociferously about something I care enough to have strong feelings about, but that is ultimately extremely trivial and silly.

A review said this is good "if you can get past the incel shit." No, I don't think I can get past "incel shit," thank you very much.

i do find it interesting that every time, every single time without fail that someone criticizes her in any way shape or form, someone comes bursting in like the fucking kool aid man blasting through the wall to scream MISOGYNY!!!! sometimes they even claim that they aren't a fan, but they make damn sure to let you know that if you have something negative to say about this billionaire who has been privileged from birth, you hate women.

I honestly hope it is one of the "joke" supes who take down Homelander in The Boys/GenV. The show always makes such a big thing about power levels, and has the badguys make disparaging remarks about how unfit the normal people and "joke" supes are. As well as one baddie outright saying he is gonna genocide any supe whose powers are not seen as serious enough. It would be fitting for one of them to take them down, the ultimate refutation of the evil nazi ideology promulgated by Vought et al.

I want more gender-non-conforming male characters that are canonically, unquestionably, cis and het.

Don't get me wrong, canonically trans/queer characters are cool and I would like more of those too! But they don't - and can't, by definition - fill the same niche presenting the idea that a cishet man can wear whatever he wants and have whatever interests he wants and it doesn't make him any less cis or any less het.

Female characters are allowed to be very cis and very het and very tomboy all the time, so they don't really lack this archetype... where are my cishet male characters that idk, like skirts because they're comfy and easy to wear, and it doesn't automatically mean A) they're into men or B) actually-not-cis-men-at-all?
