#barry.txt#crazy what kind of shit that mct gets away w that wld flop embarassingly if someone else did it#just bc gerard makes it work thru sheer force of will#complete and utter earnestness combined w savvy business and marketing accumen#and a weird resentment of that savvy marketing and what it does to the art but it also IS the art sometimes#like i DO think gerard having passionless art like doing inbetween for sheep in the big city#and figuring out what to do with an overstock of spider man action figures with as little money as possible#is genuinely important to how mcr survivied and thrived in the batshit insane 00s music industry culture#a skillset that came with having soulless art based jobs and dealing w major companies like DC and CN and their fucking execs#gerard write a wan little husk of a biography plssss#bc like we KNOW gerard was in the shit w mcr business and marketing wise even in 2014 they seemed to still have final say on a majority#if not all of mcrs moves pr-wise#and before they had that power they kept a close hand on mcrs merch bullets thru to it seems like the beginning of TBP#and never left it fully#idk im tired but im thinking

I was tagged by @louisinmadrid to choose my favorite all time 9 albums and this was a nightmare and I almost cried (miss you G!!!!).
Anyway here's wonderwall:
-Divinely unispired to a hellish extent by Lewis Capaldi. The best album I've listen to in many years. The lyrics are absolutely perfect (lewis is my favorite lyricist ever alongside Louis and Alex Turner): raw, straight to the heart and with wonderful metaphors. His talent is overwhelming and inmensurable). The album is overall perfect. The lyrics + the melodies + lewis' unique tone: I've never fell in love with an album (and artist) this fast ever. His voice is out of this world and it touches my soul in a way no other artist ever did. Also the album is wonderfully produced, layer by layer, by a great team. Srsly listen to this, he's perfect. Did I mention I love lewis capaldi? I love lewis capaldi and he's a sweetheart and always treats me so so well and that's a plus for me, I can't listen to someone that's a shit and Lewis is an angel. (me @ me we get it you're in love stop talking about lewis capaldi).
-Golden Hour by Kacey Musgraves. Well there's a reason it won Best Album of the year. The album is overall great great great. Kacey's voice is beautiful, soothing, goes perfectly with her melodies and the lyrics are great. Also a wonderfully produced album, with the soul of country music that was missing in the mainstream media. Also special mention (bc I love when albums do this) the order of the song is perfect! It builds up the right way for it to flow beautifully.
-Flicker by Niall Horan. I don't know what I was expecting from niall's first solo album but I sure wasn't expecting one of the best albums of the last few years. Niall's voice is beautiful and getting a whole album of it? A blessing. I also love this album because niall is a WONDERFUL lyricist (srsly this song are,, perfectly written), he went exactly for the sound I love the most (thanks niall for the folk) and also this album has a perfect (srsly perfect) production. Layer after layer it was crafted so so perfectly, I applaud the team behind it. Also shout out to niall bc he's just ridiculously sweet and I miss him joking around with @louisandthedagger and me.
-Favourite worst nightmares by the Arctic Monkeys. All the monkeys albums are my favorite albums but I think this /is my favorite/ because it sums up the essence of the band perfectly (also because my favorite song is in there). But really, this counts as all AM albums except the last one. I could go on about production and lyrics (alex turner is my lyricist messiah) but I'd rather be sappy here and say this was the first band I was ever a fan of, the band that made me fall in love with music and they hold such a bright spot in my heart and soul. It's been it, 14 years now? I love you guys, forever. (since I'm sharing meeting stories, Alex and Matt are angels and they were the first people I met as a fan and I was ridiculously nervous and young and treated me so well and with so much love. I!!! Love!!! Them!!!).
-the black parade by my chemical romance. Anyone surprised I'm an emo kid?. Pretty much the same I said with AM. All Mcr albums are my favorites and they are very special to me. Mcr was my first fandom and I love them dearly. I chose this one because I think it has some of the songs that had the biggest emotional impact on me till this day (also, my favorite song is there). Love them lots lots lots.
Made in the AM by One Direction. My favorite 1D album that also has my favorite song! Also I think louis shines so so much here as the mastermind lyricist he is. I think this is the best album and it will always be ridiculously important to me not only because it's my favorite but bc it's meaning within the band. A band that gave me literally everything, the best friends, the best memories, the best adventures, a job fjdkdkd but srsly the most important will always be the amazing friends for life I made thanks to them and I'll always be so thankful for that. My band. I love you forever and always. I miss you every day, every single one. I love you. (also since I met harry and niall can I meet Liam and louis someday thanks @god).
-what's the story morning glory? By Oasis. Even though my favorite oasis songs are not in this album but in Be here now, I do think this is their best album, both lyrics and production wise. It's really solid and the built up is great (also some of their greatest hits are in this one). Thank you harry and louis for the Oasis reunion you'll achieve cheers I'll be very happy. aaaalso I know their media image is shit and has been their brand for years but I've worked with both of them as solo artists more than once and they are both very nice and very kind. Liam even more so than Noel. Liam was actually really funny and sweet with me, signed my stuff - even tho he didn't have to cause we were working- and even talked about one direction with me. I stan.
-the 1975 by the 1975. I love all their albums but this is my favorite one by far. The lyrics are the best here, raw, proper the 1975 essence (although with the years the production got better bc money!!!) and it was also the album that made me fall in love with this band and, just like in all my other fandoms, I've meet friends for life thru them and I'm very thankful. They are one of my favorite three bands and I love them so, so much. As for the meeting story this time, I gotta say that I always thought that matty would be a little (very) pretentious and not the coolest with fans and boiii he got me shocked there. He was so sweet to me, so kind, so patient, he was in a rush and told his security to stop and wait just to keep talking to me (because I was telling him about our fan club in Argentina) and he was so sweet and thankful. An absolute angel, all of them, I'll never forget meeting them bc it was beautiful (also I saw matty again this year at Leeds at he told me 'wow we look like shit in this picture' (we do fjfkdkos) I love him).
-multiply (✖) by Ed Sheeran. Again all Ed's albums are my favorites (my favorite song is actually in Plus) but I think this is - production wise- the most solid one and the one with the better build up. The mixing is wonderfully made, if flows perfectly and well I don't have to say ed is a genius writer but ed is a genius writer. Although as much as I love love love listening to him, he's one of my favorite people to see live because it actually blows my mind every fucking time that it's just him and a guitar giving a full on absolutely perfect show and performance. He's one of a kind and fun fact# the artist I've seen the most live on concert (although that will change now with lewis' new tour). Also shout out to Ed for the free beers he gave us in leeds and Ipswich this year. Love him.
Also what the fuck is this essay the music journalist pr jumped out. It is what it is I talk about music for a living folks fjdkwksl and music is my life and getting a little deep# here I'm just so thankful for music in general (songs, shows, fandoms): music saves lives every day and it's moving and beautiful.
SPECIAL MENTION TO MY FAVOURITE ALBUM EVER:
