MILLIONS OF DEAD PAUL POSTERS

Album Rating: 3.5

"Whoever is taking the lyrics more seriously than "lol it references 6 earlier Beatles songs! nice" is being weird"

there is nothing to take seriously there - it's exactly the same level of wank y'all call out from bcnr and black midi etc + barely has a serviceable track underneath to see it off

if there’s nothing to take seriously then stop taking it so seriously, lol

there’s a difference between “I don’t like this line, it’s wank” and “this line is why music criticism exists”

Until John Lennon drops a line about Billie Eilish style I think BCNR wins the wank-off.

huge difference between wank lyrics in and of themselves and singing wank lyrics for a joke at the expense of your audience

the attitude in that song + your posts on the last page are self-congratulatory fluff and in your case kinda gross in its I'm-better-than-the-other-fans implications

if it makes you feel smart to laugh at sensationalised fandoms who had access to a fraction of the information you do today, go off with it - just strikes me as a needlessly contemptuous way to treat ultimately the same band mystique you've bought into yourself to whatever level

and that's not even touching on how that track is probably the only thing here that deliberately and disingenuously pandered to the pretentious esoteric edgecred charles manson had such a field day with - don't think it's any less credulous to believe the track never amounted to anything serious as it is to take it at face value

i've talked a lot of smack about bcnr, but credit where it's due i can't think of a single time they styled their painful brand of self-awareness in a way that relied on their seeming smarter than their audience

but am sure i'm overlooking plenty there

this isn’t about me this is about John calling Paul a walrus

my opinion is as irrelevant as yours

>this isn’t about me this is about John calling Paul a walrus

>there is literally nothing I enjoy more than watching artists play obsessive fan culture like a fiddle. They deserve to be taken advantage of, it’s hilarious

*concealed laughter emoji*

we’re not arguing about that take we are arguing about you thinking music criticism exists because John called Paul a walrus

I do think it’s hilarious tho

sounds like you're struggling with a colton-tier bad reading right there

so it’s not about John calling Paul a walrus?

cuz I’m pretty sure it is

It’s not like he said “hey fuck you for reading too much into my lyrics fucking losers,” he’s just poking fun at it. It’s completely innocent of the war crimes you are assigning to it. If you really want to make a solid point, talk about shit like “If you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me in” or “what they needs a damn good whacking.”

either you're being dumber than I'm prepared to believe, or you're full enough of shit to have earned your place in that song's target audience, hm

still v much dancing around the issue of your melt of a first comment there. glass onion's smugness ruining it as a song is much easier to shrug off as harmless than the whatever unwarranted condescending bs you shot into that one, though there's plenty in common between the two

Sometimes you gotta say really stupid shit to be noticed and special

Like Jesus they just wanted to sing about newspaper taxis and fields of strawberries do you really blame John for being annoyed at people trying to assign bullshit meaning to lines that exist to be weird and nothing else? That’s my main point. Artists are allowed to be irritated by their fanbase.

Sometimes you gotta be a complete douchebag and make fun of people’s addictions that they told you about in fucking confidence
