It was kinda refreshing

Yes I'm reassessing the album, focussing mainly on the music. A few users made fair points that made me reconsider my judgment. I want to give it a fair chance, despite not liking the lyrics.

ngl I don’t like (some of) the lyrics either in a more modern context

I understand that at the time (especially being from the US) it would’ve meant a lot, now it just feels like a cheap shot lol. Essentially, they haven’t “aged well” … but then I’m from a country with very much dwindling Christianity. The essence and identification is still there, but not the everyday reminder

as in I haven’t had the idea hammered home every day of my life. In the context that these people may have lived in, it makes sense

It’s kinda like an anti-establishment message, which works in that context, yet sounds crude in a more modern environment idk

I stand corrected if people from NY still have Christianity slammed down their throats today tho

but yeah back then, I’m guessing it was much worse

Dolan is actually pretty intelligible as far as the lyrics go. Thats one of the reasons I like him so much as a vocalist; he sounds super menacing but u can actually make out the lyrics most of the time

And yeah demon im from the US and the message is pretty relevant to me honestly. I get what you're saying as far as it being a "cheap shot" I guess but I definitely don't agree with that

yeah, just wondered if it had changed over the years - also I said NY specifically because I imagine that’s one of the more accepting areas of the US for atheism, relatively

I'm okay with anti-religious lyrics as long as they target organized religion. God, Jesus, Mary or anyone in the Bible aren't the problem. Everything around religion that people came up with and profit off of, that is the problem. The message of Jesus is love, what is wrong with that?

Crazed religious folk often use the names God, Jesus, Mary, etc in vein as ways to justify their fucked up behavior (at least in the U.S.)



Shit like "It was God's plan" is typically their reasoning behind some fucked up shit.

also, I’m very open-minded religiously given I was brought up by an atheist (now agnostic) British mother, who had a Roman Catholic mother’s upbringing yet an atheist, southern American father. Honestly, all my stereotypes went out of the window upon realising this lol

plus my wife has a Catholic upbringing in the U.K. (I didn’t) mostly due to Irish ancestry. Everyone has a different experience. I still think it’s fair to say that most of Europe is less religious, especially now
