20 maybe but it hardly cracks the last 21

Aw, but the frog narration is a nice break from the more grandiose stuff :)

That one’s good too. I felt HUWD lost some of what I liked about those albums.

kind of moby style music, and moby is almost always better. depends somewhat on your taste

But it’s very funny to be a frog…

I love the album, every single song is amazing.

Except the frogs.

We Own the Sky in the opening scene of Travis Rice’s “That’s it that’s all” did it for me.

That one is good too! I’d put Before The Dawn Heals Us over it personally but they’re all great.

No biggie

I’ll take Saturdays = Youth thanks

Yes. I will never forget the park segment with “Intro” and the 3 riders going into orbit on that massive hip jump.

I am a skier, but my brother is a snowboarder and I still vividly remember watching that movie totally glued to the screen in our basement.

I agree. I became aware of this album from the snowboard film "The Art Of Flight". A few tracks from HUWD are used in it.

You can watch the full film for free on the Redbull website.

I'm sorry. I was wrong.

It was literally mentioned in the first sentence.

Its on the first line of the post?

I disagree. HUWD is dream-pop’s DSOTM. It has the same type of “immense sonic journey” vibes to it. Whereas DSOTM is a rock opera, HUWD feels like a pop opera. Both are enormously ambitious concept albums that feel larger than life the whole way through.

It's fairly ridiculous that I had to read your comment to find out who OP was talking about.

It’s not quite 20 years old. I enjoy it, but comparing it to Dark Side is quite the stretch.

Yes, M83 is fantastic.

I was a kid when Ozzie and Harriet was a hit TV show. Although they played a middle-aged couple-next-door, in real life Ozzie Nelson was a popular band leader and Harriet Nelson, formerly Harriet Hilliard, was a well-known actress.

The Nelsons pushed their son Ricky’s singing career relentlessly on that show. It got to the point where they would race through the story line, so that Ricky had five minutes at the end to sing his latest song. As a kid, that was my least favorite part of the show, frankly.

Ricky’s death in an airplane crash was a public relations nightmare. The crash, which was caused by a fire started by a faulty in-cabin heater, was initially and erroneously reported to have resulted from Ricky and the other passengers freebasing cocaine on the plane - an unfounded rumor so widely reported in the national media that some people probably still believe it. Also, Ricky’s ex-wife filed an ugly lawsuit for a piece of Ricky’s estate, which Ricky had bequeathed entirely to his children.

The Sneetches are/were a prominent college radio band in the 80's/90's. I don't recall them ever having any legal issues with their name.

It’s not parody if you use the whole thing as your lyrics. You are not poking fun at it, you are stealing the words. Now, if you wanted to use some creativity and write some similar sounding stuff, that might be ok. But 100% usage is stealing.

Does wearing fright wig help?

Dave Mirra freestyle BMX had the best soundtrack

RIP

I don’t think rapping out the entirety of the book verbatim is going to fly as a parody though.
