yeah dont get me wrong, fantastic album. like this one. but yes lots of meme potential with the title.

also pika you've said 1,000 times at least that lyrics matter zilch to you so you can't honestly use that as a reason for disliking this band (who btw actually have some fucking incredible lyrics)

When you forgot the words to our song

When you can’t remember names, it's been too long

When you stopped asking what was wrong

All the pressure built up it was too strong



OMFG I'm crying I'm fucking crying, so deep, so sad, omg

I still don't understand not caring about lyrics (that's not many steps away from hating books!) but can't imagine getting much out of this without tuning into them

silly reason = silly opinion

The Hotelier:

I felt the noose tighten up on your collar bone.

I felt the gun in the small of your back.

Engraved in the stone

By request and recurse of friends dead is

"Tell me again that it's all in my head."



Glassjaw:

A boy, a girl- a love story

But why did it end in misery?

Taking our chances, getting our thrills..

Taking and taking but never getting our fill



lolololol omfg im crying im fucking crying, so deep, so sad, omg

We've been over this several times already. Music is the sum of its components.



If the album is weak instrumentally and vocally (I mean, this is okay from a vocal perspective, bland if anything), then who the fuck cares about lyrics? You can write the smartest/most relatable/most powerful/etc. shit ever, but if your band can't do anything besides cheap midwest emo ripoff tunes, then the album is still gonna be shite.

right, because those 3 acoustic guitar chords that are played in every single song on The Mantle by Agalloch, yeah, that takes some true guitar virtuoso right there. stop. stop. you cant even be consistent with your own criticisms lmao

It's not about virtuoso playing. There are tons of guitarists who can play crazy technical stuff but can't write a song that flows to save their lives. Hello, periphery.

Glassjaw lyrics are like a pissy version of Mars Volta lyrics, sometimes this is a good thing sometimes it is definitely not

Yes, I agree, Johnny, that they shouldn't be equally weighted, but it's pretty fucking obvious that if something's lackluster, it will bring the overall quality of a song/ep/album down.

GJ: You bottled divinity

For the thimble to drown in

It brightens the children's faces

When you water your old man

A sinner at gun point

You keep your monkey fed

And he takes and shake it, shake it

Out of the ones he hurt



TMV: A mass of gallon sloth

As flys have walls for feet

A rapturous verbatim-someone said but who is to know

And when you find the fringe

The one last hit that spent you

You'll find the ossuary spilling by the day
