yes, value judgments are a thing. just because your judgment of an artist's music is positive don't make you right, necessarily. people who question why others post dissenting views on a very hyped artist need to do a little introspection. responding by questioning why someone even posted a negative take assumes there is no value in presenting a non-positive value judgment on anything... which is obviously insane.

a good place to start. takes a while to build, but once the vocals finally kick in.... and sorry for hijacking this thread.

nah that was Sufjan and that was back when he made good tunes.

t-shirts don't get corner dings

yeah most people on here are quite repressed.

logical? i think you mean married

Never been a Trump guy myself, but I think it takes great hubris to assume you've reached a point of political enlightenment to not even speak to your own family members or friends if they disagree with you. it means you must be confident you know all relevant information on the subject, and there is no room for discussion with those who don't see it your way, or even why they don't. it goes further than that because it assumes these people also have no value in your life. I think that would be a sad way to live, unless this is all hyperbole and you don't mean what you're saying. try to remove yourself from the specific GOP/Trump iteration and look at it objectively, because it is a lack of empathy, by definition. and isn't empathy what family's all about? pseudo-philosophical rant over, have a great weekend everybody

its more that if you consider your relatives "dead to you" (his words) if they don't agree with your political ideology, then yeah i think you're probably not a good person. spicy take these days, i get it.

lolz yeah, but Cedric's lyrics don't make me think he's a bad person like some of these new Touche ones do. Cedric's stage antics and interviews make me think he's a bad person.

solid review bro, rock on

just did two full listens through. big oof. this sounds like an album that could have preceded Stage Four (by far their best album and a great album period, in my opinion) but is nowhere near as memorable musically or thematically. A few catchy melodies here and there but they're far outweighed by bland filler and big yikes lyrics like the entire opening of the last track "A Forecast", where the only conclusion I can draw is he's complaining about not getting calls on the anniversary of his [mom's?] death (strange form of grief), and then in the next breath says some of his still living families members are "dead to him" because they differ from him politically. Like, grow up, man. There's other examples, but i'm one that can be turned off from a project by just a few shallow lyrics, so that's on me. it just sounds like a lot of insecurity, self-pity and doubt when you'd hope for personal growth from tragedy. disclaimer: don't vote, so don't start

Create an account just to check out? Website must have been set up way back when their music was tolerable

since BN has been cancelled and Dikembe has been kicked around to a bunch of different labels without dropping one solid album, why not?

why do some people always want to make others actively celebrate filth? they say "something once was filthier"... does that make this art?

sounds like the track that didnt make the final cut on MCR's the black parade.

but who doesn't love cyclical deadpan head-nodding midtempo hair gel-slick guitar solo grooves?

Of course! The classic prank - obviously recognizable strictly from the lyric "she don't use jelly". How could anyone misinterpret that??

about half of this album is very very good. seems like it kinda went under the radar. if you liked Drab Majesty's latest as much as I did, you'll probably like some of this album. seems like all the variants went at least, and dais is pressing a lot these days

I'm guessing these guys were not wise with their money. Doing all sorts of gimmicks, product placement and whathaveyou the last 5-10 years, not to mention terrible music.

Perfectly said, and thanks for pointing out Landlocked, Bowery and TTL for doing the same thing. The saddest part is that this attitude is symptomatic of a bigger issue. But if things were spelled out on this forum, the majority might not be in such agreement.

that definitely warranted 2 two-word responses 2 days apart

the classics have rarely been more relevant.

yeah - gutterball has not yet been officially outed as tug, but I think now is the time. his rampant used fandom, aloof jokes and general demeanor give him away. case closed.
