    You can hear everything really nicely, I'll part with cash for this 🤘 I think there's more of an issue with synths and electronics sounding dated - people get a boner for the new tech, especially 80s stuff + electronics that emulated real instruments sound quite dated, but stuff's "more" advanced now. 90s stuff, I can almost always pick up on, but I'm generally good with that sonic palette - the only thing I really hate is Butch Vig and the overly-glossed Nevermind + I blame Vig entirely for it 🤣🤣🤣 It's a great album, but whew, talk about sanitised/saccharine(d).

    Do you have any videos talking about your opinions on either: the production styles of modern electronic music or the post ironic lyrical styles of modern pop songs influenced by the internet? One of the things i always am interested in is the intersection of younger and older perspectives on these topics Younger folks are viewing these songs through the lens of growing up in the 2000s, specifically with an interest in the overinflated, self absorbed, and commonly self harming aesthetic of 2000s pop and rock. Personally i agree that party songs sound pedestrian in content but to a degree thats the point (typically not idolizing the lyrics themselves but the ironic content of shallow lyricism) Im very interested in what you have to say about your perspective as someone who wasnt born in the last 30 years

    Hi, didn't see this until now lol. I think your first impression is fair, I appreciate the honestly. That song probably wasn't a great first introduction to the Jeff Rosenstock as an artist but rather a main theme statement within the album I guess. I agree with a lot of the others in that Jeff's songs are much better within the context of the album as a whole rather than just individual songs. He is obviously inspired and started off from the early 2000s style pop/ska punk/indie rock. I think he uses those established sounds to express his anxiety and discontent towards major issues caused by capitalism like the environment, economy, housing, corporate monopolies, class inequality, etc. I think 3 SUMMER and Worry. the album would be a better introduction.

Funny enough this album is one of their more accessible albums and the "kenose" EP everyone is recommending is much more tamer than paracletus and leans more towards traditional black metal than avant garde music.

    This piece of art was released in an artful way : around midnight on UA-cam on one of the first dark nights of the pandemic lockdown . One national tragedy reflecting on another. I’d imagine there will be people who will talk or write about where they were the night “Murder Most Foul” was first aired .

    I don't know if I like his lowest notes or highest notes best. If I could buy a voice it would be his (minus the accent).
