And yeah instrumentally + prod-wise there's v limited common ground besides overt Jesus Lizard worship on both. This is pigfuck with sludge and nu-metal fetishes; YWGWWW leans into industrial and panders big time to the arthouse and Swans crowds

This album definitely delves into the horrors of the world and how it affects us. Daughters was more artsy fartsy lyrical waxing about the monster that dwelled inside.



Chat Pile definitely has a more grounded setting and even a tongue in cheek nature whereas daughters is very straight faced

Also Alexis is more one note in the vocal department. Vocalist here has more range and different expressions, slaughterhouse vs Pamela vs if I burn

Not just the vox. But I am not seeking to rain on anyone's parade. It is just too similar for me to enjoy this.

If it helps chat pile will be releasing a new album soon and daughters will more than likely never have a new one.

I'd only ever sat down to listen to Why before (which wasn't bad or anything, just a little too real for that moment) and now that I'm delving into the rest of the stuff here I've really done a disservice to myself, I love the proletarian menace of this thing

@Lioness if it also helps, this is fellow sputter pjorn's band who used to be around us mortals circa 2016 before he made it big.

That too, he's basically sputs biggest success story.



Why is also a perfect song to contrast their difference between daughters. Alexis would never sing that song in his life, it feels authentically Chat Pile. I wanna say I was listening to Luther explaining how he did the photography sticking close to the band's hometown to keep it authentically diy in dealing with living in a shitty post industrial area. That song definitely folds into the band's philosophy and I think its a brilliant statement piece from them. Not my favorite song by them but definitely a standout track

I’ve had people at my work that are absolutely not metalheads tell me they think it’s a good song just because they know I like heavy music.



When you got people who normally listen to like folk music jamming something like this you know you did something right.

It's very bouncy and fun despite the super bleak lyrics. The part where he's screaming stop it toward the end and the music comes back on as if with a smirk. Great moment

I definitely underestimated how many quality jumpdafuckup riffs were on here. I love how many moods and genres this incorporates, and how stylistically consistent this is that they can go from sludge to noise rock to nu-metal and still be uniquely Chat Pile. I'm feeling a 4.5 but I'm giving it a few more spins

Also, because I feel like contributing to the discussion, I think comparing this to Daughters is like comparing Orwell to Lovecraft: a common medium does not mean artists share a common message or that either piece is to be consumed to the same affect or that the baggage of one defines the other. Clearly Chat Pile are distinct from Daughters and clearly the messages of Chat Pile's music are deeper and more political than Daughters. Plus this style of vox just kinda rules???
