My picks as opposed to my actual listens kinda shocked me but also doesn't because listening to the stolen versions hurts me.

i feel like there is often a misconception that the mountain goats is "sad music". while it's true, there are many songs that are devastating, i would never personally categorize them as a "sad music" type of band. they are more so, to me, a band dedicated to expressing and sharing many different shades of the human experience, which often includes grief and loss and tragedy, but also many times encompasses joy, love, survival, hope, a sense of belonging, a desperate will to persevere through life despite the challenges and pain, and so many other parts of human existence that aren't just "sad".

ik we’re all entitled to our own opinions, but ngl some of y’all are making me feel like a wanted criminal for liking Cracker Island, Song Machine & Humanz :/

Very easy to rate music albums, it’s just how many songs out of the total did you like, basic fraction. Any band fluffing the album with songs they aren’t invested in are gonna drag down the score. I think it’ll force more people to recognize that a lot of very good bands are pressured into scraping together 12 songs before they can release when realistically they’re only satisfied with 5 of em.

I love Jaws with all my heart, so, here I come with a little analysis again!

First off, the title. Bite my neck, drink my blood and make us one type vibes. Sleep Token in general has a massive thing with biting, teeth, consumption and chewing (there's a massive post on Reddit with all the times it's been mentioned, which, if I remember correctly, is around twenty), across their discography, and Jaws is the immediate beginning of this trend.

Jaws are a sign of power, destruction, love, sadness and joy. We bear our teeth when we're happy, when we're angry and when we eat. It is the ultimate metaphor for so many emotions. You don't know someone until you've seen them destroy something, to shout and scream and chew and bite, hence the line "show me those pretty white jaws; show me where the delicate stops". He's asking to see the real them, whoever they are.

All the lyrics have this underlying religious tone, as most Sleep Token songs do, but here it's more directly addressed. "Stained glass" is almost always associated with Churches and Cathedrals, and presents 'them' as something Holy; something that can and will be worshipped. However, the line "Whites of your eyes burn" completely removes all the ideas of safety that surrounds a religious figure. Of course, when it comes to divinity and sin, fire is a massive symbol we have to talk about. To burn is to suffer, but to be cleansed. It's this double entendre that presents this figure of safety as one who is also a threat. A predator.

Then, of course, we have "And I'm not here to be the saviour you long for". Unfortunately, Vessel seems to be in this constant battle of 'I can fix them; we can fix eachother. We're gonna be fine!' and 'I fucking hate you; leave me be or I'll have at you', which is what's seen in this one. Neither of them are the saviour the other one yearns for, yet Vessel still tries. He asks, and then repeats over and over, creating the tone of begging and pleading, for them to show him what they've lost and, in turn, show him love.

He's asking them for the two things they can never genuinely give, but he never stops trying because God forbid the things he'd do if he was alone again.

SPENCER REID IS SO SMITHEREENS BY TWENTY ONE PILOTS. “For you I'd go step to a dude much bigger than me, for you I'd go I would get messed up weigh 153, for you I would get beat to smithereens.” TELL ME THAT ISN'T SO HIM ABOUT THE WHOLE DAMN TEAM?

what is a role that you want to see a musical theatre actor play? (can include a role they never performed on stage/can be a role they were on a concept album for)
