I'm conservative on this one. I like the versions with Anne-Sophie Mutter and the one by Europa Galante the most. Interpretations can be so different, I'm content with that.
I think it's one of the albums that "just click" and then you try to discover more of that great stuff and it doesn't work. There's this mood and vibe in the album I couldn't find in the others.
I did (and sometimes still do). It's okay, too doomy and far from being refined. Passage takes the stomping doom metal parts and surrounds them with the right amount of electronic sound, great lyrics, and interesting composing and arrangements. Without Ceremony, Passage wouldn't exist, tbf, but it gets out maneuvered by its (indirect) successor in every aspect.
M83. "Hurry up we're dreaming" may not be perfect but it's a great album all their other stuff pales in comparison to.
"Wolfmother" by Wolfmother. Period.
"Cruelty and the beast" by Cradle of Filth, although they had a good run around that time.
"Origin of symmetry" by Muse. It is the almost perfect sweet spot between too rough and too polished in their discography.
"Seeds" by TV on the radio.
"Boy King" by Wild Beasts.
"Passage" by Samael was peak song writing and composing. A text book concept album. Brilliant.
"The Four Seasons" by Antonio Vivaldi. Absolute banger, not an album though.
Self-checkout and self-scanning are great when done right.
I only need to pack my groceries into my shopping crate once with the hand scanner. Or when buying only a few items, I skip the lines and scan them myself, pay with my phone, done.
Depends. Where I live even signed contracts can be deemed illegal in parts if a clause is still seen as unexpected or surprising for the customer.
If Google included a clause that states the customer loses a kidney to them, wouldn't make it legal just because it's written there.
