soooo how are we liking Never Happy Ever After X?

i’m loving it, honestly. and i mean, i was expecting to love it. if As It Is are good are anything that’s reinventing themselves: the reimagined versions of The Great Depression are fucking gold, of course new versions of NHEA would be amazing!

tell me, is your favorite still your favorite or do you have a new one?

my favorite from the originals is ‘Turn Back To Me’, but ‘You, The Room, And The Devil On Your Shoulder X’ has my entire heart right now.

that one and ‘Cheap Shots… X’. it keeps bringing tears to my eyes because you can hear how much they’ve grown as musicians and i love, love, love it! i’m so fucking glad they’re back.

that's it... i'm on an As It Is roll now...

Just saw your latest aii post and literally discovered them the same way: Youtube recomended the music video for the stigma and i think i then watched a bunch of their other mvs

2018 was a good year for the algorithm.

i remember watching the thumbnail being be like, “Nah, can’t be bothered with a new band.”

and then they just kept showing up until one time i said, “ugh! fine!” and then i was down the As It Is rabbit hole for hours…

honestly, best decision ever.

this song has been in my head for the past few weeks.

it's funny because whenever i talk about The Great Depression, i say that 'The Reaper' is my favorite song. but, honestly, 'The Stigma' is up there too.

it was the first As It Is song i've ever listened to (thank you youtube algorithm) and honestly, it was love at first sight.

sorry, i don't really know where i'm going with this post, i guess i'm just really happy they got back together and i'm excited for everything that's to come.

these are very old drawings. and they're actually from the Trench era but whatever, they look kinda cool.

Vessel has been out in the world for 12 years today. 12 years. fuck, 12 years is a fucking lifetime. it feels surreal knowing that this was one of the albums that saved my life back in 2016 when i was at my lowest and now i'm… fine... mostly. hahaha. no, it's been good, i swear. it's been good for a while now, counting up to years, which is surreal all on its own to be honest, but that's a conversation for another day.

12 years. damn. 12 years and 'Migraine' is still my favorite song from it. although, to be honest, it's my favorite song from the band, so, does it actually count? i don't think there are good enough words in any language that can describe how important this album is to me (and to so many others, i'm sure). but aside from the fact that these songs hug my brain, my heart, and my soul everytime i listen to them, what i love most about this album is that the songs i resonate with change constantly. lately, i've been really loving 'The Run And Go' which i never cared for before, but now i listen to it and i think it's fucking brilliant. i find myself being excited for it to come up every time.

but all in all, there's not a bad song on this album. it's unapologetically weird and loud and feels like it's all over the place, but it actually isn't, and i love it so, so much. it will always be important to me, no matter how much time passes by. and if it's also important to you, don't forget that the game is not played alone.
