Lacramioara Nechifor. Alexandru Casleanu. Culda Daiana. Welcome to your mids. Ahlgrim: This song reminds me of something very specific that I can't quite put my finger on. It's almost like I heard it in a dream long ago. The shimmery chords and sparse production compliment the stream-of-consciousness lyrical structure. Lorde revealed that she originally wrote "The Man With the Axe" as a poem and barely changed the words, "apart from maybe taking one line out.
You could make a case for "The Lourve," but "nights perfumed with obsession" and "sweetheart psychopathic crush" sound more like an ill-advised summer fling than true intimacy. As such, "The Man With the Axe" is almost jarring. I've never heard Lorde's voice sound like this, so tender and dazed, and the lyrics are suitably vulnerable. The production itself is subtle and warm.
It's a song that deserves to be played from a record player in a candlelit living room — a familial type of place where you can watch "the flick of the lights" as "the world falls away. Ahlgrim: "Dominoes" has an air of familiarity like its predecessor, but a much warmer kind — like the CDs in your parents' old car, filled with the songs you remember fondly but don't know the names of.
This is an excellent example of Lorde's flair for track sequencing. On the heels of "The Man With the Axe," an ode to a partner who's grounded and reliable, the jabs on "Dominoes" land even harder: "It's strange to see you smoking marijuana. You used to do the most cocaine of anyone I'd ever met!
Larocca: "Dominoes" is sonically reminiscent of the Jonas Brothers' "Lovebug" and thematically similar to Swift's "Mr. Perfectly Fine," which is largely believed to be about Joe Jonas. I don't know whether this means Jonas should sleep with one eye open or cover this song. Probably both. Deceptively summery, "Dominoes" masks a scathing analysis of an ex with a warm, plucky guitar. But the true genius of the track is revealed when it's listened to immediately after "The Man With the Axe.
On the preceding track, Lorde imagines herself as a pine tree standing so tall she's "halfway to space. Together, these songs show how difficult it is to build a good relationship, and how easy it is to ruin one. Start Again. Ahlgrim: Yet again, we see that Lorde does not miss when it comes to an opening lyric: "Everyone knows that you're too good for me, don't they? Throughout "Melodrama," Lorde uses summertime to illustrate the heated force of love — as well as its looming, inevitable ebb.
When she mentions winter on "Hard Feelings," she's in the midst of a breakup, on the verge of becoming a stranger to a person she once cherished. This song would be devastating no matter the inspiration. The basic sentiment of the chorus, "Wanna take your picture," is a striking summary of modern affection.
But knowing that Lorde wrote this song about her dog Pearl, who died young in , adds a whole extra layer of heartache. Larocca: Nothing can send me into a downward spiral faster than thinking about the mortality of my cat, and how she likely won't be with me in 10 years' time. Lorde wrote "Big Star" about her beloved dog, Pearl, while he lay under her piano, before he died suddenly in October It's a tender ode to the furry friend that lies on the floor as we drink in the dark at home tonight, and the local celebrity that dominates your phone's photo album.
For me, I'll never be able to hear this song again without sobbing on the spot. For my cat, well, she better get used to hearing "Everyone knows that you're too good for me, don't they? Both in content and tone, the parallel is clear. Lorde tells the story of a pop star in the future, escaping the collapse of society with magazines and designer dresses. Alex Turner envisions a luxury resort on the moon, a scene that explores "the role of entertainment — the desire to escape into it, and the desire to create it — during periods of societal upheaval and crisis," per Rolling Stone's Jonah Weiner.
I appreciate both "Leader of a New Regime" and "Tranquility Base" for their shared conceptual intrigue, but they also share a slightly underwhelming execution. At least Lorde's version is less than two minutes long. Larocca: "Leader of a New Regime" plays out more like an interlude than its own moment, bridging the emotional vulnerability found on the run from "Secrets of a Girl Who's Seen it All" through "Big Star" with the esoteric satire of "Mood Ring.
Although, I do love the imagery of Lorde's pop-star persona packing a bag of magazines and designer dresses to escape the apocalypse. She warned us she's not our savior! Ahlgrim: Lorde has said that "Solar Power" is broadly about utopias.
Wellness culture — or, more accurately, faux-spirituality and Glossier marketing campaigns — is a kind of utopia that looks inviting but often lacks real substance, which is exactly what "Mood Ring" is designed to mimic. The song is a certified hit, earworm, head-banger — whatever term you prefer. Its twinkly production has been playing on a ceaseless loop in my head. Lyrically, Lorde adopts a persona she has both pity and empathy for, someone who uses horoscopes and incense to distract herself from a vague existential ache.
It doesn't sound like a condescending mess because we understand this girl's perspective, her yearning for something to soothe, and Lorde implicates herself in the process. I mean, here is an artist who gets her aura photographed in Chinatown and wishes her fans a "happy solstice" via email, claiming to be distant from the mood ring-wearer who gets high and does yoga to feel better.
Sure, Ella! Pluto left Scorpio and entered Sagittarius in November She's making fun of us! More specifically, me, because I'm the kind of person who knows this.
I also love how the line "Don't you think the early s seem so far away? Instead of two decades ago, the early s are the future for someone in This project has been established to provide a viable and deployable pair of weapons with enhanced senses, durability and teamwork for use as a military asset. Subject Rogues mutation so far has not been completely identified, but appears through skin-to-skin contact is able to absorb a person's persona and their memory in a temporary 'imprint'.
Beyond this she also drains the person's energy either causing death or a long-term comatose state. So far second-hand data shows that Rogues absorption of the personalities and memories of her victims is short term established as a maximum of six days. Rogue also is capable of absorbing the mutation of any given mutant for a similar time frame to varying effect.
Second-hand data also establishes that the strength of Rogues absorption is based upon the time she is in skin-to-skin contact with a person.
Due to her mutation Rogue will be issued a coverall jumpsuit to keep her covered from the neck down. Subject Wolverines mutation is far easier to identify. This subject has enhanced healing to the point of near instant healing of any wound. Along with this, Wolverine also appears to have heightened smell, hearing and vision in low light Note: Subject appears to suffer disorientation in bright light.
As a finishing touch this subject also has two sets of three claws made out of a bone-like substance that protrudes from between each knuckle on his hands, retracting and extending seemingly at will from his forearm.
Security will be notified of this and issued less-than-lethal weapons to keep Wolverine at an arm's length. All relevant containment procedures have been forwarded from both subjects' previous holding facilities.
All log notes listed here are the informal goings of Project Weapon 2X. June 6th: Having been given nothing particularly stimulating to do for some time the teams here have been rather excited about the upcoming project. The Colonels plan for a duo of near unkillable weapons to be deployed as a military asset is intriguing and has caused all sorts of ideas to be thrown around.
Despite other candidates being examined the Colonel is very insistent about this duo being made our subjects for this project. While the team and I think there could be better candidates we all agree the idea of duplicating Wolverines mutation onto Rogue and then proceeding with the 'Metallurgy Stage' would be an astounding accomplishment, but the more realistic or pessimistic of us see it as very challenging and fraught with pitfalls.
June 8th: Today we have begun our first stage. We have drawn up the schedule which should be being put into effect as I type this. The team talked it over and Dr Li's primary concern was measuring effective dosages of barbiturates, tranquilizers and sedatives on Wolverine.
On the Rogue front we are merely testing the time frame and effectiveness of medical inhibitors simple tranquilisers and sedatives so far on the speed of the subject's absorption. Meanwhile Dr McManus's lab is working full speed ahead running genetic profiles of both subjects.
June 11th: So far the boring stage is well underway and I can practically feel the mutiny in the lab and I continue catching the lab techs doing tasks other than assigned work. But it can't be helped, the identification and processing stage is always the worst on morale. Dr Li believes that the absorption rate of Rogues skin is slower when she is sedated.
This was based upon the comparative time taken to fully absorb shaved lab mice when drugged and when conscious. If this is the case this will provide us a much safer way to transfer Wolverines healing into Rogue beyond simply tying them together and hoping for the best. June 20th: Dr McManus has provided a genetic profile of both subjects. Using blood extracted by the previous facility when Rogue absorbed a mutant's power, our resident geneticist believes Rogue is capable of a 'natural' permanent absorption of another mutation.
Thankfully this will allow us to sidestep a solution to forcing long term absorption of Wolverines mutation.
McManus thinks that despite lack of understanding of much of the mutant genome, there is some sort of 'power requirement' to permanently embed a mutation into Rogue's genetic makeup. On discussing this with Dr Li we both agree that if any subject is capable of providing that needed power, it is most likely Wolverine. June 21st: Today we begin stage two. Having competed a basic workup and baseline for both subjects mutations, the team is confident we can move forward.
Despite our belief that our duo will eventually cooperate we have told security to stand by to prevent harm coming to either subject in the event that either of them attempt to harm the other. June 23rd: Dr Li and I examined the footage from the pair's joint cell today. What we saw was quite reassuring. After a period of almost skittishness from both subjects they began a dialog and introduced themselves to each other.
Both subjects initially introduced themselves as Rogue and Wolverine but after a tense moment they each gave their legal names as Marie and Logan respectively I have updated the file on both subjects. Our psychoanalyst Dr Sinclair also examined the footage and emailed me alerting us that what we are seeing is very reassuring. Sinclair pointed out: Wolverines choice of bunk was the one closer to the door, he also place's himself in front of Rogue when security comes to provide meals.
Dr Sinclair also notes that their conversation and 'banter' both point towards a forming bond of trust, albeit tentative at present. In our meeting Dr Li and I discussed a few methods to reinforce this trust. June 27th: Dr Li and I both agreed to give the team a week off, while security caries out their instructions.
So far it has worked quite well. Last night one member of security ex-convict, hired for purpose was instructed to go into the cell and sexually assault subject Rogue. He was given a tranquilizer gun with insufficient dosage to render Wolverine unconscious. True to plan, Wolverine killed the security guard defending Rogue. I am told what remained of him had to be hosed out of the cell. Meanwhile the pair has been relocated. June 28th: In their new cell both subjects have become closer.
From the footage I reviewed, the pair now shares the same bunk, although in a non-sexual manner. Wolverine sleeps with his back to Rogue whilst he himself faces the door. Dr Sinclair's latest notes suggest a deeper trust being formed as hinted to by the whispered conversation and the closer physical proximity.
Dr Sinclair also noted that subject Wolverine expected Rogues first look at his claws would cause her fear. Instead Rogue shared details of her own mutation and explained the reason for her coverall jumpsuit and her fear of skin-to-skin contact. Sinclair believes that this 'acceptance of the others mutation' will be the main foundation for the duos trust to form. June 29th: Last night we gave the security team instructions to load up on the grade two tranquilizers and enter the cell. Once inside the team tranquilized Wolverine rendering him temporarily unable to stand and began to beat him with their batons.
They were instructed to apply minimal forced to Rogue if she intervened. To Dr Li's and my own joy, we watched last night's footage and were pleased to see Rogue attempt to defend Wolverine.
In the end our production netted only a few bruises on the part of security who I am sure will be glad for the time off they will receive. Dr Sinclair's post action review that despite Wolverines initial anger at Rogue for risking harm upon herself, Rogues own returned anger at his demands to just 'sit and watch him get beaten black and blue' impressed him on some level.
Sinclair believes this is a good sign in establishing Rogue and Wolverine as equals. The pairs sleeping behaviour has not changed. OK, so I am getting ahead of myself. On last night's footage, it showed Wolverine touching Rogue's cheek and inadvertently learning of her ability to absorb mutations. Wolverine then proceeded to offer to touch her whenever she is injured. Dr Li and I have already sent a request to security for them to go into the cell later under the guise of a random search with the goal of one security team to lightly injure Rogue.
The team will come back to work tomorrow. July 3rd: Despite the severe injury to one security guard, yesterdays little test was a resounding success.
Dr Li's and my own excitement at seeing Wolverine touch Rogue to heal her split lip and bruised cheek was palpable. Unlike the records we watched of other persons being absorbed by Rogue, Wolverine shook off the absorption fatigue in a matter of minutes.
Dr McManus assures us that Rogues healing will not be permanent, but agrees it is a step in the right direction. We have arranged for Rogues blood to be drawn today. July 6th: Dr McManus's examination of Rogues blood revealed that it is more than likely we can only permanently implement a single mutation into her genetic makeup.
But if McManus's excited scribbling is anything to go by, he thinks Wolverine has sufficient power to transfer to Rogue. On a side note Sgt Stevens, who provided a base line for Wolverines healing brought up an anomaly in Wolverines healing when re-examining his procedures. When one of his staff applied a cigarette to Wolverines skin the burn naturally healed, but without the tan, leading us to speculate that burns may have an anomalous effect on his healing.
We have arranged for Sgt Stevens to continue using heat and incendiary tools to test the subjects healing under the changed conditions. July 12th: Sgt Stevens report suggests that while it doesn't affect his healing, burns still prevent some form of memory 'return to previous state' type effect. As Dr Li and try to put this into words we realised that we are still dealing with a very complex genetic mutation that has many facets.
Dr Li and I are sceptical. Dr Sinclair's latest report is promising. In it he suggests that the bonding of our subjects is deepening and has little doubt a sexual bond will form in time. Don't we just feel like matchmakers. Our office intranet now has a fake matchmaking website, much to the amusement of us all. So today we have arranged the setup for the next few days, beginning with sleep deprivation for our subjects.
July 17th: Today with both subjects sleep deprived mainly Rogue, but it still affected Wolverine , we tranquilized our pair. We allowed the absorption between Rogue and Wolverine to last fourteen hours before Wolverines vital signs began to waver. The pair is currently back in their cell. Hopefully when we undertake our testing in six days time Rogue will still have Wolverines mutation.
July 20th: Monitoring of our pair in their cell has revealed the two understand what happened when they were drugged. Rogue revealed to Wolverine that she has an 'imprint' of him in her head.
Dr Li and I initially were worried as we had no idea of Wolverines background and were concerned Rogues reaction to his memories of this could cause all our efforts in stage two to be worthless.
Our concern was needless, as Rogue told Wolverine that she found comfort in his 'imprints' presence in her mind. Dr Sinclair believes that Wolverines initial profuse apologies for 'giving her his god awful memories' most likely only endeared himself more to Rogue.
Sinclair also believes that their communication about Wolverines memories has brought them more trust. All information about Wolverine gained from the footage has been added to his file. July 21st: Last night Rogue suffered a nightmare, one of Wolverines nightmares specifically. The footage Dr Li reviewed shows that after comforting her, Wolverine revealed that the nightmare of World War One was indeed his own. I was shocked to learn that Li's review of the footage suggests that Wolverine is at least old enough to have taken part in WW1 and that Rogues nightmare was an accurate depiction from Wolverines memories.
Dr Sinclair's take on the matter is that despite Wolverines nightmares afflicting Rogue the two appear closer for it. Sinclair notes that last night was the first night Rogue and Wolverine slept face to face 'snuggling'.
God, we really have become a matchmaking service. To our surprise we have found that Rogues skin no longer attempts to absorb Wolverine.
Dr McManus suggests Rogues skin may not recognise Wolverine's as a foreign body due to the shared genetic makeup. Either way this is one less issue to deal with in the deployment stage. July 25th: Well outside the threshold for holding onto Wolverines mutation six days , both subjects were today taken to Sgt Stevens.
Stevens indicates that the absorption procedure has not slowed Wolverines healing. He also indicates that despite Dr Li's concern that Rogues different body type may cause a difference in healing; Stevens has shown that Rogues healing is on par with Wolverines initial baseline. The blood drawn today will be examined by Dr McManus's team; hopefully it will confirm what we are all hoping. July 28th: After some initial technical mishaps faulty lab equipment Dr McManus has confirmed the permanent integration of Wolverines mutation into Rogues genetic makeup.
The whole project team is ecstatic and Dr Li even brought in some champagne to have after hours. Neither of us trusts the blood work. August 13th: Coming back from a break refreshed and the team is rearing to go. Sgt Stevens today reported that the healing of both subjects is still on par with the initial baseline. Dr McManus's reports rather snidely that the blood work has not changed.
Dr Li and I remain un-humbled. Dr Li and I spent most of the day reviewing memos and footage. One result that is entirely unexpected but nevertheless has left us pleased is security monitoring reported that on the 5th of August Rogue reported to Wolverine pain in her forearms. The next day with several more exclamation points than necessary in their memo the security monitoring team report that Rogue now has claws.
Having reviewed this footage, Dr Li and I concluded Smaller slightly than Wolverines and made of the same bone-like material; Rogue now possess a female version of Wolverines claws. When I reported this to the Colonel he was very excitable and told me to inform the team that so far we have surpassed the projects expectations.
The team was very happy to hear this in a sarcastic lab tech way. Another unexpected note from the time we have been away is that Rogue and Wolverine have now begun a sexual relationship.
I am not certain if relationship is the correct word for mutants, but it for all intents and purposes that is what it is. My inbox was filled with notes by different monitoring staff that they are required to mute the audio systems and focus on a book or some other distraction during the pairs 'extensive fucking'.
Lovely language, but what do you expect from college drop-outs. I myself have watched the footage of their first sexual interaction, and the feminist in me is pleased to see Rogue taking charge during their first encounter. Dr Sinclair's reports on the footage and the development on our couple have been rather tedious and read like an evil David Attenborough documentary.
But the overall is Sinclair is pleased at the pace the two have bonded and believes that their trust and teamwork has made their personal relationships foundation 'rock-solid'. He also notes that with her claws and healing Wolverine no longer protects Rogue like she is weak, and the pair stand shoulder to shoulder when guards come to provide food or to take them for examinations or testing. Addendum: Yes Dr Li, I have noticed that my recent report is rather informal.
It's a personal log and I just got off vacation. Lay off. I must say it looks like it would be right at home in the dungeons of the Inquisition. Despite this Dr Li and I have given the go-ahead for stage five to begin tomorrow. Hopefully the procedure won't turn them into dribbling vegetables. Dr Sinclair has frequently and vocally expressed his excitement of observing the nature of both subjects without their long term memory in the hopes of seeing animalistic regression.
Also someone has replaced Sinclair's email and database photograph with one of David Attenborough with a Dastardly Whiplash moustache. At the team meeting we voted to keep it. August 16th: Both subjects went under the memory wipe apparatus today while heavily sedated. If it has done its job it will have immolated a very specific section of the brain which houses long term memory. And upon its healing it should become a blank slate. So far there is little to report except both Rogue and Wolverine are sleeping peacefully in their cell.
August 17th: Well Sinclair asked for animalistic. Upon reviewing the last day's footage, Dr Li and I conclude that both subjects have reverted to primitive mindsets. Their verbal communication appears limited and reminiscent of 'caveman speak'. The only thing I am certain that our couple remembers is their name, the others name and that they are in a sexually active relationship.
Reports from security, in both guards and monitoring has asked for change of shift repeatedly since both subjects woke up and identified their partner and proceeded to have very loud and frequent intercourse.
My own watching of the tapes caused a smirk in the feminist side of me when I saw the trading of dominance between the two. Dr Sinclair is predictably happy.
He informs me that the pair see each other as 'mates' both verbally and non-verbally. That they appear as perfect equals despite their physical size difference. He also noted that Wolverine is now happier to have Rogue jump first into a fight, citing the example of this afternoon's food delivery when Rogue attacked the security guard while Wolverine watched.
Sinclair has amended his original expectations of the bonding of the two subjects to reflect that he now believes upon the projects completion the two will be an effective team. Dr Li and I both agree to give the pair three days to make certain that their memory won't return.
August 21st: No new news from the footage, just an inbox full of complaints of traumatized security personnel. Perhaps we should hire more voyeuristic security. I would love to meet the HR person who has to put out that memo. Aside from that, Rogue and Wolverine have become more coherent verbally and are speaking in full sentences admittedly Wolverines vocabulary was weak to begin with.
But both still retain no memory beyond their cell, their names and their relationship. August 22nd: Today Dr Li has a mild freak out when the consideration of birth control was brought up. Immediately condoms were ruled out.
And Dr McManus has confirmed that in the latest blood work Rogue has out-healed her birth-control injections, but has reassured us that so far she is not pregnant. Thank god for small miracles. This is a good lesson in procedure for us here; we got too caught up in the project moving forward we forgot to see any pitfalls. The takeaway from that meeting is we all agree upon a surgical solution. I have contacted the Colonel and he has agreed to spare a small portion of the metal from the metallurgy stage Adamantium for surgical birth control purposes, although he was displeased that the two were engaged in a sexual relationship which he called 'unnatural'.
In my opinion as long as they are not having sex with humans, it is not an issue. And although crude it is rather effective. The plan is simply to perform an approximation of a vasectomy for Wolverine and a tubal for Rogue on our subject's respective reproductive organs and seal them with adamantium to prevent healing.
The adamantium will then be grafted to the pelvis to prevent their bodies from forcing the metal out as it does with most foreign metals. August 24th: Both subjects are recovering after a successful surgery. Dr Li's review of the footage reveals that there has been no change in the sexual activity of our pair. It would seem Dr Sinclair's 'potency' theory is false. Both Dr Li and I agree that moving onto the metallurgy stage should be put into the works.
Dr Li and I will spend the next few days working up a schematic for the grafts. But before we begin the next stage I contacted the Colonel to confirm his plans for the control stage. He hinted to some form of mind-control serum but did not specify. I told him that giving our nearly feral subjects indestructible metal claws and bones is not wise if we aren't certain that the control-stage will work. I pitched Dr Li and Dr Sinclair's breeding control program to him, in which a child would be allowed to be produced between the couple and it would be held as leverage.
The Colonel rejected the idea initially but thought it may have promise in the future, so much for distaste for their sexual activity. Regardless I was reassured that a control method will be here and working by time we complete the metallurgy stage.
Dr Li and I are both hesitant to move forward, but we have decided to move forward as of tomorrow. August 25th: Day one of metallurgy. Dr Li is getting the X-Rays done today to begin the schematics for the adamantium grafts. Having two conscious near-feral healing mutants, submerged in heavy water, and having tandem surgery performed to pour and graft molten unbreakable metal to their bones; it's starting to sound like a joke.
To round out the day an email from Dr Sinclair stated he believes Rogues apparent spontaneous martial skills may be a holdover from Wolverines 'imprint'. But due to the memory wipe she merely attributes the muscle memory and reflexes as her own. Sinclair states that currently when she tries to fend off security guards she fights like someone the size and strength of Wolverine.
I had a word with Sgt Stevens formerly of Fort Benning and he agreed. Steven's told me with Rogue under control she could with a short amount of time adapt Wolverines muscle memory to fit her size and increased agility.
Dr Li has noted this down to be readdressed in the final deployment stages. August 29th: Dr Li and I have completed our schematic for the grafts, with the added metal cap above the cranium requested by the Colonel apparently it interferes with telepathic mutations. In their last memo they state that they do not know if the adamantium will change the performance of the restraints and have added a small tolerance just in case.
The Colonel will arrive on the 2nd with the full adamantium shipment. The monitoring of our intrepid couple has moved solely to the job of Dr Sinclair whose final assessment is that the duo has a strong bond that would be both beneficial and helpful when deployed in the field. He suggests the trust between the two would make them a formidable team, as opposed to two persons forced to work together.
He does point out the downside that if forced to work alone, it could quite possibly interfere with the subject's efficiency. Regardless this project called for a team of two unkillable indestructible weapons.
A footnote in Sinclair's report states that 'the close bond of these two will mean that a significant form of control will be required to make these two deployable'. Significant indeed. September 2nd: The Colonel has arrived with the adamantium today. The lab techs are confident in their ability to use the apparatus.
The bone graft schematic has been double and triple checked. The Colonel has reassured both Dr Li and I that his control method will work but has yet to divulge how or what his method is beyond hinting at a 'mind-control serum'. We have final approval from all departments on the procedure and we will begin tomorrow at 10am. The Colonel has invited some Pentagon brass to see the completion of the metallurgy stage. The man is like a giddy child playing with new toys.
He even brought champagne for the brass and a set of matching adamantium dog tags for our lovely couple. AN edited : This story has been swirling around for a while so I wrote this then convinced myself to expand it.
The story has reached a conclusion for now but if there is enough people who enjoy the story I will continue onto another story arc. For now this is a complete story. I will change the summary and unmark the story as complete accordingly if I begin updating again. I should also point out to new readers, the format changes and the whole story isn't just this report style chapter.
Don't get scared off. Disclaimer: This belongs to FOX. I know, I too sometimes get confused for a large multinational corporation with the rights to huge comic book franchises. Lots and lots of blood. And this place smells like the fridge in the garage" replied Cyclops through the comlink sitting in his ear. Maybe four holding cells. Storm, how we lookin' up top?
Whoever trashed this place stripped all the equipment and bodies. Whoever this blood belongs to is long gone" said Scott as he made his way carefully upstairs to find Jean. Opening a door to an office area Scott peer in through the low light seeing Jean prying out the screws of an upturned PC with her telekinesis.
Find anything? But I don't think they took the hard drive from this terminal. May give us a lead to what happened here" said the redhead not looking up. Finally prying the PC's case free with a triumphant 'ha' Jean dove into the circuitry to begin prying out the hard drive. Scott looked about the room, noting the upturned desks, the smashed coffee pot, the blood spray on the walls and idly wondered who did this.
No point speculating just yet" said Jean darkly as she pulled the hard drive free of the case and placed it into her bag. Besides an overlooked PC terminal there is nothing here. Let's head home. There is nothing more you can do there.
Come on home and we will see about trying to get some insight from that drive" came the Professors strong English baritone over the comlink. Storm, meet us at the Blackbird, we're getting out of here" said Cyclops as he and Jean made their way to the stairs. As his X-Men reported they were in the air and making their way back to New York, Professor Charles Xavier sat in his wheelchair pensively looking out of his office window into the darkness.
All his hours in Cerebro could bring him was the knowledge that someone from his past, someone powerful was once again creating mutant weapons in a facility in the Canadian wilds. Charles sat there cursing his own restraint. He should have entered that Generals mind. What good are ethics and principals if it takes weeks for you to scour a Generals financials, and piece together his movements?
What good are those same ethics and principals if it prevents you from coming to the aid of one that needs it? A dry humor broke over the bald Professors mind. Even if he had forced his way into that arrogant Generals mind and taken the location, he would still be brooding over the abandonment of his personal code of ethics. But Xavier couldn't help but wonder, what did that General mean when he accidentally projected the thoughts about the facility and the mutant weapons. Perhaps coming face to face with a leader of mutant rights caused the stray thought by memory association.
Safe to say I have been actively listening to new release and enjoying a lot of comebacks, hope you guys have been too — hit me up with some of your favourite releases this month and tell me what do you think about them. Watercolor — Wheein 2. TRASH feat. Butterfly Feat. GSoul — Wheein 6. Film out — BTS 8. Kiss Kiss — SHinee Lilac — IU RM — eAeon hot release Bye Bye — eAeon Not For Sale — Enhypen.
Their pronunciation is very clear and the lyricist obviously put some thought into things like rhyming, but the lyrics do seem a touch more awkward than necessary in places. Overall, pretty satisfied. I also loved Area, Onew singing the chorus sounds amazing. Only an artist with such vocal command can pull off that falsetto.
Code after Atlantis feels very fitting and I like how the album still ends with Kind. It feels like it was a great choice. The three new songs are such great additions, it makes this amazing album even better. Everything released by SHinee these past few months is a sole reminder of why I decided to become a fan this year.
Big shout out to MZMC for amazing work on all of these songs. Each has its own personality but they work together effortlessly. I think the thing that made this album so interesting to me as a whole is how cohesive it is in terms of instrumentation. We have a variety of different genres here but the sorta muffled vocals in the background of the chorus of Digital match the bridge in Paranoia, the muted, slightly distorted electric guitar vibes between Misunderstood and Antidote, and then the way Save U fades out with the echo of a choir is reminiscent of the background choir vocals in the chorus of Antidote as well.
I think that would change my mind on the song, seeing it live with the choreo and all. I like the b-sides though. I was a casual WJSN listener before this album, I listened to their music but never got really invested in this group. However, because this album was good, I would want to get more invested in their discography that I have yet to listen to.
Whereas Entropy felt like utter chaos, full of energy and an almost scatter-brained attack of styles, Negentropy has a much lower energy and a more relaxed, yet bitter sweet, feeling. All of that said, after 5 listens through, I do find this is a pretty solid album. I greatly applaud the structure and found myself liking each song more than the last. Overall, it has more of a subtle variety than the chaos of entropy, but I think they covered an appropriate spectrum for the narrative of this series — both sonically and lyrically.
Took forever to release such a magnificent song definitely one of their best, JP version did not get nearly enough attention. Jonghyun and Mingi solos are their best yet. Glad Jonghyun is singing more, his tone and voice are so different but compliment others so nicely.
It was worth waiting a year for, pretty much. Dongho voice so strong, gave me an aftershock. All members contributed some mighty passionate vocals, so much emotion. This mini album is an excellent continuation of their style and a showcase of their strengths, for sure. Will say that I have inverted feelings regarding my personal preferences for this record.
On their debut, I loved the title track and thought the b-sides were a bit lacklustre in comparison. Drunk-Dazed was a good choice for a title track.
The pre-chorus is such a quintessential bighit sound. I especially love the choreography, looking forward to all their music show performances. A slower sensual jam. Mafia or In The Morning? It will still take time for me to get a hang of it. This made me think, maybe their transition from rap to vocals felt really disorganised to me with their previous releases. This one, however, felt like it was done more smoothly in comparison. Sorry Not Sorry should have been the title track.
Each member completely stood out and the beat and lyrics slapped. Shocked they teased the verse in the album spoiler as I was convinced that was the chorus. Shoot was a pretty interesting addition to the album, it sucks me in with its hitting instrumentals and melodic structure. The song from start to finish feels cohesive and knows exactly what it wants to be and delivers because of it.
I liked the chill yet sassy, playful vibe I get from this song. Tennis is definitely a successor to SURF. I really liked vocals in coordination with bass guitar instrumentation used here. Another year of consistently writing poems for a month, thank you napowrimo for creative prompts and letting me learn different types of poetic writing styles.
