#this album is truly a masterpiece

[rotatedaxis]

such love for "you're begging for tissues, all you get is confetti" like, you're in need of something so simple but you're given this ineffectual thing that can't actually help you at all. it just reads as your needs are forgotten or minimised to their smallest possible point and if that isn't being treated seriously then it's mocked or can be dealt with by something small. in line with the song, your nose is bleeding and the best thing for this is tissues, but all you have is confetti, just this little thing that really isn't going to help whatsoever but it's all the help you're gonna get. And the way this comes just after "but [your friends are] all bloodsucking vampires", just adds bc it's like, well they're getting something out of your struggles but you, it's safe to say, are not having a good time. it gives this impression of people taking joy in your suffering but acting as though they aren't or are doing the absolute barest minimum in giving something that might help but, in reality, doesn't, if anything makes it worse, emotionally-speaking.

and maybe it's just me, but the whole thing feels very defeated. like whoever the character of the song is, has just been putting up with all sorts of crap for however long and is just exhausted by it all, but cover it all up "wave hello 'cause nothing's wrong" and take their "heart off of their sleeve" and just act carefree and like everything's okay when nothing is, just bury it all, they don't "get tragic" anymore (perhaps suggesting that they, along with taking their heart off their sleeve, they don't show any of their emotions anymore)

. again, maybe it's me, but "i'm gonna die before you, it's the first race that i'll win" doesn't inspire a particularly hopeful ending and maybe that ties in with being carefree and "hectic", suddenly - people who know it'll be over soon tend feel okay about it, without getting too deep into it right here right now.

maybe, the whole lot reads as a bullying narrative. talking about giving the kids "something to shout back / as the books fall out of my rucksack" and not being "everything to everyone", by trying to please everyone you please no one, so that type of people-pleasing behaviour never worked out for our character, and just resulted in, at least, teasing. "I don't take my phone off silent anymore" could suggest, if you follow this theme, that they don't want to see what people are sending them or saying to them, so you could call them but they probably won't see it or notice. And then, of course, "while your friends sing happy birthday / but they're all bloodsucking vampires" suggests fake friends and people who turn their backs when you're in need, when you'd give them your time and energy and care - they act like they care, shallow things like singing happy birthday, but won't actually help when it's needed, like our character's nosebleed for which they 'beg' for tissue, but all they get is confetti. (and the word beg suggests that they're really trying to get what they need, but to no avail, so they just have to make do with what they can get their hands on)

anyway. I don't know how much or how little sense any of this makes. all I know is all you get is confetti is an excellent song that has me in a chokehold (despite only being out for not even 5 hours at this point) and it deserves to be heard and read into and loved.

I don't even know what to do with myself... I just keep listening to the songs over and over again. I love every aspect of this comeback. The title track, the album, the visuals, I'm just- I'M LIVING. THIS IS ENHYPEN'S ERA. THEY OWN IT!!

[lhrry]

i need 1d to come back and tour mitam so that i can hear lilo own the hey angel bridge, so that i can hear the harmonies in infinity, the entirety of end of the day but especially when the sun goes down i know that you and me and everything will be alright, when the city’s sleeping, you and i can stay awake and keep on dreaming, you and i can stay awake and keep on drEAMING, so that i can hear the what a feeling chorus and literally watch them being kings beside each other, so that i can hear harry and liam lead the choruses in long way down and liam do those things he does in never enough, so that i can lose it to niall’s verse and louis’ bridge in love you goodbye, so that thousands of us can scream our own versions of the temporary fix bridge, so that i can sob my way through walking in the wind and AM, so that i can ascend when louis takes over the chorus in olivia, so that i can watch them give a whole new meaning to history and cry my heart out to if i could fly, not to me mention absolutely losing it during the bridge and breakdown

The Legacy of Marianas Trench

So I was listening to Danger Days by My Chemical Romance (for anyone who hasn't heard it, recommend it a hundred percent), and it really got me thinking about them for a second. I'm not sure how many of you guys are My Chemical Romance fans but the fact is, when the Danger Days album came out, it was not well received :( . A lot of the fans had clung to their heavier and gloomy music that was associated with their previous albums -- Black Parade, Three Cheers, and Bullets. Those three albums have all progressed in their own way with Black Parade being their magnum opus (in my humble opinion) but Danger Days went such a different direction. I feel like this little decision can be paralleled with Marianas Trench's career.

Danger Days (in my opinion) is such a magnificent album but so many people and fans alike dismissed it because of its drastic change of sound, a more brightly, sassy, and fun sound. The album itself I feel like it still represents MCR, with their experimental sounds and twist on alternative music and lyrics that criticize society, but so many people just couldn't get it into because of their "poppier" sound. Gerard Way has even stated in a few interviews regarding DD that the reason why he chose to change sound was because he thought it was time to start something different and stray away from all the angst. And sadly, as previously mentioned, it wasn't well received than their other albums, with fans even commenting and spreading that they should just go back to their "old sound".

This has been the case for a lot of the artists, especially rock artists I seem to notice. The artist would like to try something different from the sound they established and end up finding some kind of push back when they try to experiment with different sounds.

This is where Marianas Trench comes in. Marianas Trench has not have that problem. In fact, it's the opposite. Fans ANTICIPATE how different the next album will be compared to their other albums and draw parallels and find those little easter eggs. They can't wait to hear what kind of musical influence will be the main sound for the album and can't wait to hear the lyricism along with it. All five studio albums so different from each other but we KNOW it's Marianas Trench. It has this Marianas Trench signature sound that is weirdly enough, not a sound, but more of a passion (?) and creativity (?) that only Marianas Trench could have. And they are so successful in doing this because Josh recognized from the get-go that he doesn't want to be stuck in this box. One musical genre and be known for just one really good album and his fans to be stuck in that genre, compared to MCR and much like other bands who had accidentally trapped themselves in that way. Cause when one traps themselves in that box, then they will reach at a crossroads; do something safe that they know their fans will enjoy, or do something the artist would enjoy to do with the risk that fans will be disappointed. They are stuck with having to figure out how to do the same thing repackaged in a new wrapping.

But Marianas Trench knows that whether they experiment or not, their fans will always be so supportive of them. I for sure will love them. And I believe that some would actually be disappointed if they don't experiment and show us something different. And it gives them that liberty to evolve and grow in different sounds. In simpler terms, I guess I could say that they got the best of both worlds, being able to experiment with the safety net of their supportive fans.

However, I can't help but think, that may be the very reason that's holding them back. As one knows, Marianas Trench are KINGS in Canada but are almost barely known in any other places. And what I mean by that is that they are not as big as I think that they should be. But maybe it could be because of their non-commitment to one genre, they aren't able to have new or more listeners stick with them. For example, one fan loves their Fix Me album but can't listen to their other discographies because it's just not their cup of tea (which is absolutely okay). But at the same time, they have found their audience, fans will stick with them, and be able to actually enjoy what they are doing and that is enough. More than enough. Because they have the ability to do what they love professionally.

I know the topic is a little more multifaceted than what I explained here but I just can't help but draw some parallels. I will forever be grateful that Marianas Trench is able to strive in this generation with their ever changing sound and wish them all the fame and fortune that they deserve but it's also really great to seem them be grateful for the fame they have earned. They are truly just happy being able to do what they love and stay true to themselves without getting greedy. And i am so glad, we as a fanbase, gave them that kind of chance. So I would really like to thank you guys for supporting them as a fellow fan myself and thank the band for not stopping and continuing to grow.

Miley Cyrus releasing see you again when she was 15 years old… so iconic of her

[alexturner]

dani i started listening to "no hard feelings" because of your set and i am. obsessed. it's beautiful

doron, omg!!!! this is fantastic news 🥺🥺🥺 i love no hard feelings, ellie's voice is so delicate on that song and it's so beautiful. it makes me so happy to know you enjoy it as well ❤

[rorygilmre]

i am not even remotely kidding when i say that kelsea ballerini’s rolling up the welcome mat ep changed music this year. the raw honesty in the lyrics and emotion in her voice throughout all of the songs is a gamechanger for her career and for songwriting in general. she elevated herself to an entirely new level this year and truly did create art out of her heartbreak. she’s in a new category now and i feel so sorry for those of you who are missing out on it. 

[raayllum]

ok u convinced me i will listen to marianas trench it's very rayllum coded

they're soo rayllum coded like

The more that I give / And the less that I get / Don't tell me to fight, / To fight for you / After this long, I shouldn't have to / I know you're fine, but what do I do?

and

The heart gets slow / We all heal though / You never know / To stay or go / But I know / A love like this will end in tragedy / You know / Every kiss suspending gravity / Burns us both / To love this close / We lose ourselves / And I know we won't get out alive / But only the lonely survive

and

From wedding bells to private hells / To fresh new starts and wish you wells / From up in lights to up in smoke / We just can't let this go / Maybe this time it could work if our need is dire / Maybe our future's so bright and fucking burns / Like a wildfire

and

Now I wake up and I forget that you were gone / A phantom limb is all that I am hanging on / So don't stop, no stopping it yet / What if the one true love's the only one that you get? / And you've been wishing but you don't know how to stay / And I've been broken but I'm better every day / So don't stop, no stopping it yet / What if the one true love's the only one that you get?

and like. that's just the tip of the fucking iceberg
