Gravity also has fucking appalling lyrics
As does everything else they've done
But really, with that band name, why act disappointed...

"Gravity also has fucking appalling lyrics"

Counterpoints: The Very Last Time, Under Again, Coma, Breathe Underwater.

"But really, with that band name, why act disappointed..." honestly a fair point. but that just makes me glad they steered away from the Room 409 style lyrics.

At least they did that, agreed. It is an improvement, in a way

kalk you also have to remember the Hand of Blood EP that got them to The Poison, the song Hand of Blood fucking exploded with popularity and then they took a couple songs from that EP and put it on the Poison, they were on a roll there to start. I think ego and rock god syndrome took over and just destroyed the creativity

I always forget that EP was a thing. Maybe, yea. But it happened incredibly fast

yeah some of the lyrical content here didn't age particularly well and a few songs feel like they could've been scrapped. other than that, this is a genuinely solid record, and i've got high hopes for this new self-titled. apparently Parasite's gonna be a hell of a lot longer on the album and this is just an edit.

"Counterpoints: The Very Last Time, Under Again, Coma, Breathe Underwater."

Your stare it rips a hole into my
Am I supposed to leave this all behind?
It's on my skin
Your scent is poison when I breathe you in
It's there with every single breath I take
If this is it then don't resuscitate

Nope nope nope still dealing with blunt nibbed incel skunkink here jfc read a book or something, this isn't what the English language conquered the world for

Didn't feel Parasite at all tbh. Maybe the full version will be better or more interesting or whatever. But these weird vocals and pre mature lyrics (at least they're not rapey, but still) drag it down for me, significantly

"The Poison was misogynistic as fuck, but for some weird reason they had good songs. Like, did they even write The Poison themselves, outside of the lyrics? I'm beginning to have some doubts"



I think it has to do partly with the fact that they actually tried aping Eighteen Visions and Poison the Well riffs to a certain extent on this before deciding they were sick of doing that thus leaving only the mediocrity instead of being slightly tolerable. I'd guess the success of Tears Don't Fall probably was a big deciding factor in them no longer wanting to even try to play Hardcore riffs.

well there is this too:

"I'm free falling when the black hole opens

Vicious circle eating me alive

I keep swimming through an empty ocean

In slow motion, in slow motion"



this definitely scratches an itch i've had for a long time even now
