Album Rating: 4.5

Just jammed lanterns and Easy and Lost it to Trying are gonna be favorites of mine for sure

Pots, I noticed some, but can't recall what are they. Is that a regular feature?

mmk so basically there is one recurring melody that can be found on every single one of his albums in some capacity and it is the main piano melody that At War With Walls and Mazes uses as a central reference point.

its the "Put Down All Your Weapons" melody that gets teased and built upon at the beginning of the album... vocally in Prologue, then imitated on piano in Break briefly.. then vocally again in Weapons and finally at the end of that song the piano melody and vocal line are put together.... and then the piano returns for the Epilogue.

anyways so that little melody and theme that AWWW&M centres around not only appears in every other album (havent found it in this yet but im sure i will) but also kind of thematically directs the entire evolution between the albums and key concepts and verbal queues... so hereee we goooo... and these are only the things ive noted so far, im sure there are many more and im sure some of mine are conspiracy level b.s.

Remember the crucial vocal/piano melody
Debut album is titled At War With Walls and Mazes, which points to the 'title track' so to speak being the 'War', which is essentially the grand finale of the album save the epilogue bringing everything together and reflecting on everything the album touched on before breaking into that piano melody for the final time

Okay follow up album is We Are Rising. WAR is an acronym for We Are Rising
Things to note about We Are Rising:

the album art
lyrics on Flickers informing Lanterns
Raise informing Rising?
lyrics on Leave the Riches informing Bones
the Weapons melody makes an appearance at the beginning of Flowers (Wither?)
there are other song titling disctonomies like that if you look

ok now on to Lanterns which's name takes queue from the lyrics of Flickers and is also touched on Lanterns Lit, the outro to the album. some other lyrical queues here and there like building pyres and shit that link songs within this album to each other and some to ones in the previous albs but anyways most importantly in the second half of Plan the Escape the Weapons piano melody comes in briefly all dark and shit before the title track finishes things off

ok then Bones takes its title queue from Leave the Riches lyrics and the art harkens to We Are Rising too. blah blah blah same shit ok lets get to it you can analyze lyrical and thematic nods and easter eggs but most importantly in an album where ryan got a band and i thought that that might impact his conceptual process... boom, Weapons melody at the end of Now I Want. anyways ill let you guys know when i find the melody in the new album

and i mean the new alb is literally titled brighter wounds so yeah thats a pretty obvi reference too

...okay... you've done your research... or an obsessively compulsive disorder episode...
The recurring melody I know, the Brighter Wounds thing and a couple of others, although I didn't really pay it much mind.
So is this like a Son Lux Universe? Is yMusic a spin-off?

Album Rating: 4.5

One listen in and it's really good, but I prefer their other stuff somewhat. This one is much more subdued

Album Rating: 3.5
