honestly I wouldn't call anything on this filler. I mean, there are only 14 tracks and one is an intro

so just an update I've had a backwards tracklisted version of this in my car for a while and can confirm: the backwards album theory is BS sounds way better forwards



Also after long consideration I've decided that humble is without a doubt inspired by We Will Rock You by Queen, at least in theory

Okay I'll explain my thought process, so a while ago I saw this article http://www.radiox.co.uk/news/quirky-news/catchiest-songs-of-all-time-according-to-science/#I3C6stQuzrFPvSD0.97

which says that We Will Rock You is the catchiest song of all time according to science (albeit sketchy reasoning but the point still stands) despite the fact that it really is quite simple

So now Humble comes along and despite the fact that it is musically simple as fuck, I enjoy listening to it to a great extent, its crafted in such a way that its a hella earworm. and then there's the fact that the song starts with a BUH BUH from a guitar that sounds reminiscent of the boom boom clap rhythm of we will rock you. I really feel as if Kenny was inspired by that song in particular to make a simple yet abusively catchy song like humble. and it's solidified by the fact that humble was released as the lead single despite without a doubt being the most musically simple song on the album. just my thoughts

also idk why everyone talks shit on the TONE of the piano in humble, the problem isn't the tone in fact the piano sounds really crisp and gorgeous, the problem lies with the simplicity of the piano line. But I still enjoy listening to the song a lot and have even sorta grown to like the simple piano...

'What does this have to do with the track being filler tho?'

Good question. The rest of the album would have to be good to make this song a candidate for 'filler' but that isn't the case. It's just an average track on an average album.

@TheMrAlexK



I believe he was referring to the theory that Kenny was going to release 2 albums, not just DAMN. Somebody pulled a "Holy Gift" and decided that he DID release 2 albums, because playing DAMN in reverse order changed the narrative detailed in the album.



Its bullshit, just like the holy gift, but fun to think about.

?



HUMBLE. is objectively one of the cornerstones of the album. Whether you actually like the song/album or not really doesn't matter.
