Just Got Back from the Discomfort We're Alright

the first time i listened to this album, i was pretty indifferent towards it. i had it blaring on my tower speaker setup back at home during the near-summer, and i didn’t see the appeal to it but apparently, somewhere along then and now, it grew on me because now it’s in my top 20 most listened to albums on stats.fm. the band themselves don’t like to be described as midwest emo, even though it’s a complete contradiction of their sound with the whiny vocals, the heavy guitars and the dude in the background slamming on the drums (holy fucking shit). when i grow up and make my own band which will happen, because i have the power to make anything i say happen, the band will be a brave little abacus cover band, and we will tour the world until my laryngeal nerve tears apart like in that story about galen and the squealing pig (though i don’t think it was the pig’s choice to have that happen to it in that case). i can’t help but scream along to this song if there’s nobody around me that i care about but lately i’ve been around a lot of people that i care about (though i constantly say i wouldn’t take a bullet for many people, but the truth is, there are a lot of people i would take a bullet for,) and so that is very good. this is one of my favorite openers ever because i think it sets up the rest of the album’s sound perfectly, and the final lyrics of this song come back around on the last song. i love circles, they’re my favorite shape. i also love malcolm in the middle, it’s my favorite show. i think it’s cool that it’s sampled here. one day, bryan cranston will die and i will be a very, very sad man but that day is not today. sir patrick stewart died today though. rest in peace. thanks.
