Yeah this is my only album where every track is legit a 5/5. Guess if I had to pick only one to ever hear again one of the normie faves like Sorrow or Bloodbuzz would be it.

Jammed Bloodbuzz for the first time in a hot minute earlier today and it wrecked me as hard as ever. Good album.

I used to think "I still owe money to the money to the money I owe" was such a good line but now I realize it's kinda dumb and makes no sense

Why? Imo it expresses perfectly what it’s trying to express even if the literal meaning is odd.

I think it's a great line, feel like it makes even more sense in 2010 context too, with the financial crisis being caused at least in part by all the financial instruments no normal person understood (and most people who actually traded them didn't get the risk either), all the "money" was connected in ways no one realized and it all went south at once

Realising this is better than Alligator is the path to true enlightenment, realising it’s better than Boxer represents true ascendence of the musical form, and I don’t know if I’m ready, but also maybe yes?
