Perfect pitch though.

Is she also the female vocalist on Vile Luxury? I can’t remember the song right now but it’s absolutely incredible

Huh I never actively considered that the reason that this is shaping up as my fav IT was a honest to goodness "fun" factor but like...it actually is??? A fun overblown yet still impressively atonal and disjointed dissodeath record??

Such a thing can exist???

Also Rot Moderne might actually be my favorite track here lmao, I actually love how out of place each track feels here when placed to the next and how out of place sometimes tracks feel in of themselves i.e that sudden tight as FUCK lounge jazz drum/bass solo in Pleasuredome

Yeah would have been cool if those out of place parts were tightened up and expanded upon. Like the horns in Eye of Mars could have been something cool throughout the song or even the album, but they go away and never show up again ):

Yeah I did actually feel like they could have made the horns there a bit more extravagant to really pump up the excess, probably one of maybe two moments that feel like a genuine afterthought to me here. The t/t is a little shoehorned but I do actually appreciate the 1-2 of NEWYORKCITY into Goldstar as kind of a brief set of intermissions that are two completely contrasting images of each other

I mean yes, therein lies the appeal to me, but are you not also kinda describing Alphaville here? This is perhaps a more condensed iteration of what that album went for, fusing in a little Spirit (fortunately NOT the flatulent parts) and voila! ... we have disso skronk partycore, can't wait for the new genre tag to drop, lets go!

I remember Alphaville feeling a lot more post-wasteland and a little more self serious but ngl I haven't jammed it too much since it dropped. This, for as eccentric and intense as it may be, doesn't feel nearly so weighty or hard to absorb. It's sure as fuck isn't what I would call aloof, but there's more individualized flashy bits that lend this element of super dope shock factor moments (not to say the shock factors are smoke and mirror gimmicks btw)

Perhaps Dedes. I do think this is the most "accessible" they've ever been due to the sheer excess of memorable "flashy" moments and their disregard for song-to-song harmony arguably aids that (weirdly). Alpha had oddball tangents but settled into a groove where those jarring switches weren't as commonly deployed (that album was also 10 minutes longer). This feels pretty relentless when it comes to offering up something "new"
