I wonder if the singer first hummed every song he ever wrote and the humming kinda just stuck to the song to varying degrees.

Honestly I appreciate this album more and more as time goes by. I’m getting older, bones are starting to hurt, but it reminds me of a way more simpler time. I know I’m young as fuck compared to a lot of you guys but still, that feeling is still there.



Aside from Afterlife tho everything ranges from good to fucking horrible. And A Little Piece of Heaven is somehow a mix of the two. There has never been a song I love and hate as much as that track.

the album is just a little too all over the place so it’s hard to settle in and immerse yourself

Totally agree. Songs like Gunslinger and uh, I guess Critical Acclaim would work a lot better in the context of more songs like them.



Almost Easy is fine even if it’s a pretty basic track. I know I’m not the first to say this but Lost would work so much better without that fucking autotune. Scream is okay. Everything else is just so all over the place.

The lyrics for Scream irked me a lot unfortunately. Also the video for Afterlife cut out all the good parts which is all most people heard from the album before they decided that they hated it. That was a BIG mistake.

I look at Scream’s lyrics like I would a Misfits track. Not meant to be taken totally seriously.



I compare lyrics like that to something like a horror movie. Of course Matt isn’t a serial killer or someone that’s into necrophilia. The vocals are telling a story. Most of the writers and filmmakers of shit like that aren’t perverted like the lyrics to those tracks.

I will say this, I fucking hate Dear God, and no amount of context can change that.

If they ever played that song live I would literally shove earbuds in and listen to something else. I can’t stand that song.

“I look at Scream’s lyrics like I would a Misfits track.”



That’s a good point tbh. They just didn’t seem over the top ridiculous like ALPoH so I always viewed it like a Motley Crüe halloween type of deal lol.

no I completely agree with that. but Matt was still young, which, shit, he was older than I am right now lol

It is pretty tasteless to say you’d use a heater to warm up a dead bodies thighs. Ugh I hate that song so much but I love the Rev’s vocals.

Again very tasteless, but like I said, we’ve had dozens of horror movies do worse shit over the past 60 years, a song doing that is still for some reason taboo.



Like I remember saying I was going to a Ghost show probably 10 years ago and some other kid chimed in and said I was weird and going to hell, I went to private school so that probably didn’t help lol

Oh no. I’m saying I was fine with ALPoH because it was so obviously over the top. Scream seemed like a sleazy Motley Crue anthem.



Not saying I’m right or anything that’s just why I liked one and not the other back in the day.

And honestly, most metal is corny as hell. We can’t all take ourselves seriously all the time.

Like I love Gorguts, but I’m not gonna pretend that all of the Luc Lemay shit is totally serious all of the time. Most of it is all in good fun. We just don’t like the top 40 bullshit every local station plays. It’s just not what the mainstream likes.

Who gives a shit is what I’m getting at. Enjoy what you want. Who fucking cares lol

This album is a mess but I love it for some reason. It's like the entire rest of their discog playing out in a fever dream.
