we talking 'Numbers' woe, is me or 'genesis'..?

exactly, I was looking at the ass just as closely as the others in the art, I would never have known if this story hadn't blown up. he responded too, preceded zero clarity but they did put the original back up. I jyst don't see how you could spin this. it was straight up transphobic

you guys are a bunch of prissy little fucks, my shitty opinion does matter for tilt. I'm not the sort of person who would care about this... but I find it interesting because of how transparent it is, just unapologetic bigotry.

yeah fuck me for trying to start a conversation about a trending topic pertaining to the album in which we are currently commenting.

11 seconds in he mimes 'drive you wild' and I swear to god its the cringiest shit

oh, saturday night, should have expected this

huh? there was a trans girl on the original cover of the night variant. she's since been edited out.

how do you guys feel about them removing the trans chick from the night cover. I'm not into it, would never date a trans and have some pretty off color opinions about the procedure... but even i think it's fucked up to remove her from the album art. says a lot about the majority of the demographic.

this is like missionary sex for phc/metalcore with the occasional finger in the butt pre good

it's a good song, but that title made me wince when I first read it. some shit I would have thought was edgy in 1st grade. maybe there's meaning behind it and it's more than just wuba luba dubdub, I don't know.

yeah, I usually only seek out videos of albums I know inside and out. this way the music is untouchable. a good example of this is dwellings. I finally got around to watching some live performances and was absolutely surprised by what the lead singer looks like. not in a negative way, I just would never have put that voice to that man. but when I listen to the album, I still imagine the scrawny , clean shaven, long haired individual my mind had conjured up throughout my time with the album. in this case (trophy eyes) it was entirely due to that video being my first time experiencing the band, now it's all I can see while listening.

because it's intentionally distracting. you don't dress like that unless you WANT people to get 'hung up' on it, good or bad. now every song all I see is his poofy black crop top and washboard abs... spinning around like a ballerina. it takes the attention away from the music. some people might like him even more, for such a fearless excersize in self expression. and im not bashing anyone who does. but for others, myself included, it's just silly looking... and takes attention away from the music. and before i get some tired 'repressed gay/ simply homophobic' accusations thrown my way (like i did on a review site) let me get this out of the way, my 'gay' is anything but repressed. I do the same with metal bands that dress up like 2002 goth kids and every second of the video is them doing 'metal hands'. are you making videos to accentuate the music?... or do you just want everyone to know how dark, fashionable, or in this case... foreword thinking you are?

absolutely agreed

fan expectations, maybe you went into it with an open mind

I hate everything about that Friday video

youtubed the acoustic song and coincidently learned a lot about the band and album through unrelated videos! turns out they named the band after a 'regular show' episode also crown shyness is when certain types of trees avoid touching other tree's branches, that's what the album art is! also explains a lot of the lyrics in the acoustic title track. either ive smoked way too much or this is a very interesting accidental discovery, I won't know until morning

such a shitty scenario, you can't believe every accusation but you can't deny every accusation. like jonny craig, I know he's a shitty person, but is he capable of rape? I wouldn't think so... but goddamn what if its true and I'm over here like 'new slaves album is best ever take all my expendable income'

I hear you, man. I don't even buy cds anymore, i just buy digitally *if* the band doesn't have any good merch. if they do have solid merch I buy 3 or 4 shirts and jyst keep the rip. it washes out I think. as far as my money not stretching as far as my library, I only support the bands I come back to. if I listen once and don't like it, I delete and move on. if something about it brings me back and I decide at the end of my second listen that I want to listen again that's when I give my support. and it's not always immediate, I have a list of bands that I need to get to... currently 3 on that list not scratched out, 'wolf and bear' 'animal jam' then 'trash boat'... in that order

you should buy it anyways, bands like this need it, such a niche... challenging sound. probably not very profitable

I honestly haven't listened to them since impulse, but im getting into that kind of music again, but everything I listen to in that style feels shallow to me. I haven't listened to anything from this new album, but im excited for it from what I hear others saying. keeping my expectations low, but I'll definitely check it out when it leaks

well, it worked for me when dgd previews leaked, I've been around since. well, I was here a long time ago (I think it was KL, this was almost 10 years ago!!) but dgd leaked liked 2 or 3 days after the previews.... hopefully this is the same

definitely expected some down tuned chugs and gutturals,

cool, guess I'll go find some bands that do the genre right
