I used to always get mad at The Mountain Goats because they're like a Trojan horse to me. I see some banger lyrics on a tumblr post and go oh word 👀👌🏿 and then I go listen to the song and get slain by a Greek army, which in this case is my lack of interest in that musical genre

now imagine that Trojan horse is the latest Hozier album and maybe you can imagine how mad I am

#like of COURSE you had me at ''i carrion / icarian'' but then i went to listen to it 😭#listen i'm happy for him and for y'all but i think i knew this was gonna happen eventually #too many of his songs have lullaby vibes. like honkshoo type shit. i ofc listen to way more genres than just metal but #i think the visceral-feeling components that make metal what it is are indeed the foundation of my tastes.#like. i need my music to punch me in the soul in some way laksmfdlakjflkjg #it can't just be lyrically bc then that's just. that's just a poem. that's a different thing altogether #and yeah i CAN just read these lyrics as poems. which is what i'm doin. but they're NOT poems they're SONGS #anyway. it's too bad but at least the first album + would that i + sunlight will always exist #his accent cute tho i'll grant y'all that #(i also have only heard 3 songs so far and am assuming the rest of the album doesn't deviate that much. change my mind?)
