yes that makes sense. but i still don't think it's objectively good in any way just because it subverts expectations or because it does what its supposed to do. just cuz it does what it do doesn't mean what it do b any good

yes but listening to this album presents you with the dream that you are now alone in that city, which should make things a whole lot better - all the fuckheads are gone

here's an example

sixtyten is bleak as fuck and could fit in with this album

except its good

"but to say that it is so drastically less inspired or creative than their other works, idk just to me is kind of close-minded"

i never said either of these things. i refuted that it was more creative than their other works

"noooo lol the subject matter of sixtyten is so different and it would be a total sore thumb on this album. wayyy too heavy."

nonsense.

the subject matter of sixtyten is implied by the context. theres no decipherable lyrics. the heavy near industrial percussion is reminiscent of lots of shit on this. so the subject matter is easily mutable.

Geogaddi makes this look like sesame street. Infinitely more terrifying

"yeah ok I was being histrionic pots but when did I say it was more creative?"

went back in the thread and actually the creative argument was someone else's quote, they said it wasn't creative and you said that was false and i said meh its not that creative. say what you want about the concept being at least divergent, but instrumentally i don't think it's that creative comparatively. it's some boc songs.

"there are heavy moments on this album but sixtyten BANGS. it's like june 9th"

and BANGING isn't really a notable quality of geo or mhtrtc. this is much heavier percussively than either of those.

this album sounds like chronic depression

maybe I need to go back and relisten to Geogaddi but I recall both that and Music Has the Right to Children being a good deal more chill than this



listening to my copy of Music right now though and there's definitely some fat banging beats to be found on there

"i dont mean bangs like a 22 year old's favorite Grizz album bangs I mean bangs like it bangs and clatters hahaha"

yes. like a bunch of the song on here do.

the percussion on this is punchier than any of their other albs. not to say it's prevalent on every song but when the kick and the snare drop they fucking drop like a boulder.

"but even in times of chronic depression there are moments of hope, just like on this album. it is not devoid of those qualities. "

lol disagree hard

i'd say chronic depression is pretty much the complete antithesis of hopefulness lmao

and i don't find moments of hope on this anyways personally

every time i listen to it i enjoy it on a sonic level, each song is nice even though everything just sounds like a smoggier version of other shit they've already done but as soon as it ends it just doesn't leave me satisfied, it doesn't add up the same way their other albs do.

the moments of hope are like "I think I can make it to the chopper and escape this horde of zombies or bandits so I can survive one more day"

"I just said there are moments of hope during chronic depression."

damn you must have had some pretty chill chronic depression if you think that

buddy

I find the greatest cure for depression is to never allow yourself to be formally diagnosed with it in the first place
