Well this album is so musically transcendent that the rating scale starts at 2.

I've not heard this, don't really intend on doing so either. Sounds like something I'd hate. Maybe, one day curiosity will get the better of me.

I mean some of these vox are just objectively hideous.

It's a good album but yeah sometimes the vox really go overboard. I think that's part of the charm for those who worship it though.

Anyone who criticizes something as hipster is more of a hipster than the people they're criticizing

so I was playing guitar along with a bunch of these tracks couple days ago and looking at the lyrics and a lot of the meanings just clicked for me. some of these songs are god damned heartbreaking, like two-headed boy pt. 2 being about the death of your conjoined twin, just like imagine the feels of being in that situation lol

I just love how all the lyrics are about likethe horrors of WW2 and such and yet on a line by line basis this is still so identifiable and emotional in the modern age

^ agreed hard. I also appreciate how the words seem to refrain from any kind of moral judgements- they're based quite purely in sensory experience. That's a tried and true method of course, but the way Jeff (he wrote most/all of em right?) weaves all these seemingly disparate sensory details into something that feels coherent in the end I think is really unique. He like creates an illusion of narrative by playing on narratives listeners might already be familiar with.. on my first listens all the movement in the words gave me a sort of disorienting vertigo effect, but somehow each song still left me emotionally affected.. I still think this is a very singular work in that regard
