YES. THIS. I used to be able to listen to Euthanasia with a completely straight face. And then I watched the music video and understood the context. You'll find me sobbing on aisle five.
“Everything is a lot” to “Uh, I mean, It’s Kind of a Lot” feels exactly like my progression pre-therapy and now, so I’m projecting that onto will wood’s growth as an artist.
The emotional and musical whiplash from going from "Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll" to "Big fat bitchie's Blueberry Pie, etc etc" was something I didn't know I needed in my life.
this album makes me feel something. everytime i listen to tomcat disposables, i go "no! don't eat it! don't fucking eat it!", and still it happens...., the main character has me dancing across the room, religiously chanting the lyrics, meanwhile against the kitchen floor.... well, i'm down pounding my head against the kitchen floor, and crying, at how fucking amazing this is. a perfect album in its entirety, i am astounded. i have no more words. merci.
I get scared to listen to artist's new music in fear it'll "ruin" their music for me, and I was introduced to WW by all the older songs...but I have not heard a single song I don't like from this album so far. I don't think I will. they're all so emotional and powerful and I am only 6 songs in as of writing this and I have already cried to 5 songs. I mean that in the best way possible this album is an EXPERIENCE. a rollercoaster. I love this so much.
I mean if you are interested in a stranger rambling why not try some OST, many games have great songs. Try mgs4 final theme or hell all of drakengard OST. Anyways take care stranger
Most people who complain about an artist changing style of trying something new "ruining" their old music... are usually losers, no offense (not saying it's you). It's like... they're artists. they're free to try whatever styles they want. and even if an artist sells out to a record company or something, that doesn't make their past work any worse. be happy that something good happened, not sad that it changed.
I know exactly what you mean. I felt the same thing with Will’s last album cause I got use to the first two albums released, but I haven’t found a song that isn’t amazing. Some I prefer more than others but they’re all so good
Yes yes yes yes English ain't my native language and I always search for lyric videos 'cause I can't make out the words in a new song. So when any artist I like drops a new song I'm always like ''ughh time to google lyrics agaaain'' but this video literally has lyrics in it already omg omg I'm so grateful
@@blairebelarus i dont dislike it, but this is his most dissapointing album compared to all of his previous works, i dislike the direction this album took the sound, its a good album but not anywhere as good as the normal album and everything is a lot
I said it when he released the Normal Album and I'll say it again: Will Wood write a musical challenge seriously his composition feels VERY music-theatre-y at times, and during The Main Character he does that thing that all the best performers are able to do where you can HEAR him smiling when he sings.
IKR?? And his albums feel kinda like they have a development and a subtle story (The Normal Album especially). If he wrote a musical i'd be foaming from the mouth
I KNOW. It's so wild! "The Main Character" is definitely my favorite because of how characterized it is (no pun intended, that's genuinely just the best descriptor for this). It's so... _full._ Full of life. It's awesome.
i was listening to some of his music in the car with my mom and (completely unprompted) she said that "he sounds like a musical." so, there's that, haha
Not everyone wants to write a Broadway style musical about their declining mental health, listen to the lyrics of the album he wrote this one because he was struggling to make ends meet. Jesus christ you people are vultures if he wants to make art he's gonna make art but let him make the art for himself at least instead of for others. Missed the whole point of the song you "love" so much
found a hoodie of this album in a thrift store. and because i don't wanna be that person that just gets stuff from artists because it looks cool, i searched him i actually really like his style. anyways its a cool way to discover a new artist to be obssesed with
"It feels damn inhumane to get all I dreamed of." God, oof. That one got me. I'm happy for the first time I can remember and it's terrifying. It doesn't seem right. I feel like this wasn't meant for me, ya know? Most days I just can't wrap my head around it.
I physically cannot make it past Euthanasia, my heart can't handle it. Thank you Will Wood for letting me feel emotions that are miserable in the moment, but remembered fondly after I've gotten a hold of myself, sincerely.
I had a mental breakdown in school cause it started playing while I was drawing one of my old pets that was put down while I was away easily the worst coincidence ever
euthanasia and tomcat disposables always kills me because I lost my grandma and dog in close proximity to each other and this album came out shortly after. I love this album but I usually avoid listening to the whole thing in fear I'll start crying and not stop. recently I've been listening to it and it feels like an act of healing after grieving, just even being able to listen to this. this is such an emotional album let alone that but it's so good and so meaningful. love this 💙
@@Cusimmrbrightside Really? Felt to me more like satire making fun of people who feel they "need" to have kids and settle down just because their parents told them they had to. Like how people who are 40-50 now are in unhappy marriages because society/their parents told them they "need" to have kids and marry. The part that really unsettled me was "You said you don't want kids, but think about a daughter." He's ignoring her wants and feelings because he's chasing some sort of idealistic nuclear family dream.
From the singles Wood released, we know this is gonna be fucking fantastic. Imagine some alternative rock musician like Wood making 16 songs that makes you wanna cry.
ranting (bad english): God, I was so afraid to hear it because I knew it'd be different and I knew it'd be personal. And with this kind of stuff, I feel obligated to feel every single second with my entire being, it does take lots of effort. So I just waited for the right time. And oh my god. It's so beautiful. back when SDRR just came out there were some mixed opinions out there and I myself was somewhat unsure. and when I heard the song again, there was no uncertainty left. I didn't even need to analyze every single lyric, it was simply amazing. it was almost like I heard it for the first time. the whole album filled me with emotions that don't even have a name yet. tomcat disposables made me cry. I couldn't make out all of the lyrics, I didn't understand all of the songs and I still felt like they _gave_ me something. it's like I didn't give away something in exchange for understanding the meaning, it's like the meaning was given to me. I don't actually think that anyone's reading this but this album is so aaaaaaaahhhhh I love it so much and I love will and I just love how will he is and my appreciation for all this is immeasurable sueiwjwjsuoej4h im sorry but I'm still posting this comment because i have THOUGHTS and EMOTIONS and I'm CRINGE and I don't speak ENGLISH and anyway, Will Wood
also adding here that some songs are not that deep & they're not Will pouring his beautiful heart out. they are just songs with a cool vibe (confirmed by the man himself through a comment to vampire reference)
I was peacefully in bed with my eyes closed listening to them happily and against the kitchen floor just hit too hard is such a god damn vibe but I relate so hard

my grandfather passed this morning. right now we're having a memorial ceremony and its 7, almost 8p.m, about 14 hours after his passing. ive never been close with him, but we have shared memorable moments and i remember a lot about him, even though they were small. i remember how he always checked the mailbox every few minutes, i remember how he always mistook me as one of my cousins, i remember how he would remind me to brush my teeth every time after dinner and smile while giving me a nod and thumbs up of approval whenever i responded. he always told me the same stories over and over again and i sometimes would get irritated at him, but i understood it was just him wanting to be a good grandfather and interacting with his grandchildren. this album was and still is one of my favourites, which is why i chose to listen to this during the ceremony. death is mentioned a lot in this album. of course i wont compare the passing of my grandfather, a human being, to the death of Mr. Boy, a rat, but even though the songs in this album like Euthanasia and Tomcat Disposables are about the death of rats, they remind me of my grandfather in a way. Will Wood helped me deal with a lot of stuff, one of them being accepting that death would happen eventually, so i am very happy i get to listen to one of my favourite albums of his and can get reminded of someone i loved. its even more comforting knowing that Mr. Boy, like my grandfather, are gone with people who will love and remember them forever and that they are no longer suffering, finally at peace wherever they may end up. my mental and physical health's been all over the place lately, but ill promise to take care of myself like how my grandfather always tells me to. now i know why we say that theres a better place that waits beyond the grave, and i hope Mr. Boy will find peace wherever that is along with my grandfather. and im glad i can find comfort in this album, being able to be reminded of my grandfather and everyone else ive lost while listening to it.
dude this was the first time i listened to against the kitchen floor & i acknowledged the dark lyrics but i fucking got up in my empty living room to just start grooving because of how fucking HARD IT WENT
I know this comment would get lost in the chat, so here it is. Since I've found your music, i've been through really tough times. Music is one thing that can get me through all of that hell, and thank you so much for being a part of it.
Same, really this album helped me a lot about my traumas and anxiety, it's like a rollercoaster and really the music was the only thing that made me survive calmer.
I was here since Self-Ish released… will wood your music has meant so much to me, and you as a person I’ve found so relatable and so Inspirational to me, through your development and change as an artist and a person. and the topics and personal life expirence you cover through your music just speak to me fluently, and that’s helped me through some struggling times…. I hope you heal well during your break… and honestly I hope the same for myself at this point. You will make it.
This entire album is simply beautiful, a mix of tongue-in-cheek jabs at the audience with a desire to accept the power of change and change itself despite everything life is, shedding off parts of ourselves to become something better + Will's infatuation for mice, he loves those little mouse people that he do. I found the idea of ''belief despite it all'' that some songs hold something special, belief in change and each other despite our faults and idiosyncrasies, and belief in life after death despite it just not being true as far as we know. Falling Up (my favorite song next to Euthanasia, The Main Character, Kitchen Floor, and White Noise) feels like an expression of how chaotic just being in life is and how we never expect it to go in our favor until it does and how that and life is simply often out of our control unknowing of what might be even controlling us, death and it's process is a promise, perfection is not, tl;dr Entropy's a bitch, ''But now I will surely drown'' says Will, ''lol'' says entropy, ''imao''. I loved this album, and I can't wait to get my CD, hell I might buy all of the albums just so I can have them physically, thank you for this album Will, hope the break does you well :)
I'd like to formally apologise to the friends I am meeting up with today, because I'm not gonna shut up about this today. Holy shit, this album is BEAUTIFUL. I love it so so much!! The fact Will entirely changed up his style yet still delivered 16 amazing songs is a real testament to his talent. Well done to everyone who worked on this album and made it as excellent as it truly is!
(English is not my first language so, that) Two years have past since this album dropped, I remember listening in my dining room with my family around trying so hard not to sob in front of them, and then staying for the last stream of Will before going on hiatus. (I'm still remorseful of not saving it when I had the chance) This album came in one of the worst episodes of my life, almost pushing me to end it. Tomcat disposables to this day is one of, if not my favorite songs of all times, it encapsulated my feelings and struggles from that time, being so vulnerable and merciless to your imminent death without having the beautiful life everyone seem to experience and talk about, the feeling of being like a small mouse in comparison of the great scheme of things. Every single one of this songs resonated with me in a way I never thought I'd be so identified, especially for someone that doesn't feel quite like someone yet. Two years after, I'm here to listen to this wonderful album once again. Saying thank you for every time ive heard any of the songs of this wonderful album wouldn't be enough to transmit my absolute love and admiration towards these masterpiece. Thank you do much Will ❤
You're probably the only artist, that even with a tonal change in music, I will never gravitate away from. I absolutely am SO happy you decided to press more into the raw emotion of your lyrics and try more softer sounds -- usually I am not too big on 'slow' songs but you always nail them out of the ball park. Every single album you drop I have yet to find a song I'm distained to or dislike. This album dropped at like, a perfect time for me. I'm someone who suffers from BPD and black + white thinking /heavily/ and this whole album (and your music as a whole) has been a massive coping mechanism for me. I view myself as a bad person? Put on Against the Kitchen Floor or Half-Decade Hangover. My intrusive thoughts are beating me up? White Noise. Need utter pining fluff when I think about my girlfriend? That's Enough, Let's Get You Home. Your music is an utter life saver for someone like me who just... needs someone with a morally grey mindset to tell me "mistakes happen, but we grow" and the way your music used to be and now is an example of it. Thank you so much for this album dude, I can't wait for the next one. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be listening to this album for months on end. 💕
My Mother has been abusing me for 6 years now and the song becoming the last names just hits completely different this entire Album has become something of a way to cope with my trauma thank you mr Will Wood for creating this beautiful Album i truly appreciate it
Happy one year anniversary y'all!! It's wild that, no matter how many times I relistened to this album, I never stopped feeling the same way I did when I first did; like we really would make it.
Willard! Is how I found out about the movie with the same name, I watched both the original and remake and I’m reading the Ratman’s notebooks, I just wanted to say that Willard! and lots of your other work is relatable to myself as a person who has a visual impairment, especially Love, me normally because some days I want to be “normal” & just see like everyone else, while other days I’m perfectly fine with how my eyes are. I know that was pretty long but I felt like sharing. Enjoy your hiatus man, keep up the good work!
Hey, i saw your message and I thought I’d drop in. Will (possibly probably maybe) is making a remaster of the normal album. His social media is making posts of him in the booth doing stuff, and I just think it’s neat. So hey, maybe hiatus no longer?
@@alt7460 hey, now's the best time to get into their music! When I first got into the tapeworms, only selfish and eial were out (along with some singles). I'm so glad there's more now, I was going crazy just replaying the same songs
Absolutely MASSIVE props for putting subtitles on every single track for the lyrics. Doubly so for starting every song with the name of the song in the subs too. Seriously, makes learning the lyrics to enjoy the tracks even more just so much easier.
This album reinstates my belief that emotion is best conveyed through music because so many of these songs invoke an emotion that is oh so familiar yet one that's indescribable through spoken word
Nothing like being here with the folks at the UA-cam stream of a will wood album. A very rare and prestigious event. Love all of u here have a great day
this is the most clear-cut cry for help in response to sudden fame i've ever heard and a. god is the music of it amazing but b. god do i genuinely hope will's ok
Until today I hadn't listened to euthanasia since before my guinea pig Timothy had passed, and especially considering how happy Tim got whenever I put on Will's music, it hurts so much more
Just listened to the full thing and uh. shit I am crying. I don’t think I’ll listen to this album as much just for the sheer emotional bandwidth it requires. I can’t take feeling this much too often. It’s like staring into the sun except the sun is a mountain of repressed emotional nonsense that’s been steadily growing since I was like 7
Didn't find anyone here talking about the transition between "OK Computer" and "The Main Character". GOD! I can get tired of listening to those songs, and the whole album is so well done.
Will, you are a MAESTRO. You’re a genius. Every part of this is flawless. I’m sure everyone agrees, as well. You WILL make it, Wood. You will make it, and you’ve made it this far. We believe in you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this piece of artwork.
Euthanasia reminds me of my baby Pterodactyl that I lost a few years ago. He was an amazing cat. and i got him when I was 4 years old. I turned 15 in January. I told him everything was gonna be okay the morning he died, and that everything would go back to normal. I miss my baby :(
i struggle with coping with the idea of death. i have for a couple months now. it’s been making my life hellish. i finally got the chance to listen to this and. It gave me a chance to finally let all my emotions out. it’s currently midnight and I’m bawling my eyes out, trying not to scream from my emotions just releasing. this album has made me realize I should probably find a new therapist. ty will wood :)
this guy really is musical kurt vonnegut huh,,, i'm young, very gay, neurodivergent, angry at the world, and a huge fan of theatric rock-and-roll. But I really, sincerely love this album- purely because of its message in the context of all of the older music. It sort of helped me realize (albeit in a painful, raw, undeniably unique way) that i can't fetishize "something being wrong with me" because it'll just trap me there. It actively describes getting *better*, as opposed to just acknowledging that something's wrong, or wallowing in that wrongness, and I genuinely appreciate it. i think it's wonderful to appreciate older, angstier art, and sympathize with the place of pain that it comes from- just as long as we no longer pressure the artist into making more of it after they no longer feel that pain. Art is a form of self-expression, and demanding nihilism or cynicism from someone is just the same as demanding someone to tell you that everything is fine and happy. It really fills you with hope, and i similarly hope that other people (especially younger fans!) are able to feel that too! i love WW's old music, and i relate to it a lot. But i also wholeheartedly root for him to find a resolution to the painful emotions in it, as well as for the struggles in this one- the same way I wish for the resolutions of my own angers and fears someday.
this is gonna seem cheesy, but honestly i don't care- will your music is so fucking amazing?? your music is some of the best ive ever heard. the lyrics are wonderful and the composition itself is absolute heaven to listen to it makes me so happy. your music is one of my biggest inspirations too!! like holy shit. this is amazing thank you so much. your music (especially this album) has gotten me through some real tough times. i am forever grateful
i can't believe it's been a year because i feel like i've been listening to this album my whole life. this album came right when i needed it most and helped me feel less hopeless, less inhuman, less alone. in a way, it felt i was holding my breath for my whole life, and when i heard this album for the first time, i got to let it go. everything about this album is beautiful, the instrumentals are gorgeous, the lyrics are so complex and personal and devastating, and the vocals are just so amazing and filled with so much emotion it hurts (not a bad thing). i can't imagine a world where this isn't my favorite album, and i'm so glad i got to experience it. (hopefully this doesn't sound too intense or invasive i just really appreciate this album)
falling up means a lot to me. fun semi related fact my ancestors apparently brought dandelions to north America due to the fact it made good wine, according to family myth of course.
Man this sounds great, in comparison to Will's previous works every song feels even more... I don't know, more personal, human? It's nostalgic in some songs and weirdly optimistic yet with a heavy feeling, at least that's how I ended up feeling by the end of the album

its genuinely a privilege to have been listening to ww's music since 2018 and to have been able to listen to the evolution, both musically and ideologically, from album to album. i feel like ive grown up along with ww's music. this album is everything
so many of these songs I listened on repeat when my mental health started slipping a few weeks/days ago. ty will wood for this album, and your great music that helped me through a small depression thingy.
I went into this worried I wouldn't like it but holy shit, this might be Will's best album yet. Each song feels thematically similar to each other but each has its own distinct vibe and I've already found myself belting out a lot of these lyrics. My favourites so far are Falling Up, Against the Kitchen Floor, The Main Character and White Noise but all of them are growing on me :)
Will, I don't know if you'll see this or not, but an interview I saw about you and your near-death experience and just general life experiences resonated with me, a suicidal-ish fifteen-year-old. This album hurt too, what with Willard, Against The Kitchen Floor, Half-Decade Hangover, and Um, It's Kind of A lot. All of these songs hit harder than I'd like to punch myself, and honestly? In case I make it too, it'll be for you and everyone else, Will. Thanks for changing an undiagnosed neaurodivergents whole entire life.
Will wood drops a banger album that's gives me the ache in my heart that i didn't know i needed, and expects me to be okay? edit: i keep coming back to this album almost every week. it's such a beautifully crafted album and it holds such a special place in my heart. edit again: this is such a beautiful album that has helped me through so much over the past year. i've showed this album to my friends who loved it as much as i did. every song in this album makes me feel emotions i haven't felt in 2 years. the fact itś going to be a year old in 3 weeks still astounds me. thank you will wood for this amazing album.
Will's music is exactly why I force myself to listen to full albums instead of just skipping through and listening to the "hits" because, in all actuality, an album is a story. A picture, if you will, of a time in the artist's life. I'm not super great with words (I usually can't stand them) but an album, such as this one, can speak for me most of the time. And I like that. Also, it's been 2 YEARS since this came out?!? Dammit, I'm old.
When this album first came out, I didn't really like Becoming The Lastnames. Now its one of my favorites on the album. The reason why? A DnDads animatic.
come back right this instance and make a happier album because I keep sobbing my eyes out like no kidding I could fill a ocean with my tears because of this album
tell me why so many of these songs are simultaneously bangers AND make me emotional. this is an incredible album, the instrumentation is phenomenal and every song was just so interesting to listen to. truly outstanding work!
You probably have at this point but on the off chance you haven’t you should check out the music vid for White Noise because I feel like the song’s message is even more beautiful with the context of the video
god, "um it's kind of a lot" i think is the most relatable song on this entire album. it reminds me so much of myself, especially the line "hold on too tight and scare you too" because god that happens too much. i adore this entire album, but that song specifically is just the best one in my eyes
Don't know why I haven't listened to this album yet, I guess I'm just afraid of the unknown. I have no idea what to expect... Leaving this comment to remind myself to come back and FINALLY listen to it. Later.
I break down into tears for the first 4 songs and am left sobbing by the end of Euthanasia but once Falling Up starts playing it somehow always leaves me feeling happier and hopeful.

Happy second anniversary to ICIMI! I love this album, and it's nice going back to listen to the entire thing while drawing art for the 2nd anniversary :>
i love the album so very much, the other songs are already stuck in my head. truly a beautiful sound this album has so far-and the look of it, too. so much effort when in to it and its clear to see :)
Ever since I got introduced Will wood Against the Kitchen Floor and the Normal Album became my favorite songs. Period, As many say "In Unison! We all shout 'Thank you Will!!!' "
This album was absolutely wonderful. I can't really express how much I believe that Will is such an ingenious songwriter. Even though there's a good amount of little silly metaphors in these songs, they strike an emotional cord in someone in such an impactful way. I love how it's about general experiences that people have (primarily inspired from experiences from himself) and it's just lovely as a whole. Amazing album!! I hope for it to be my very first LP vinyl I collect because Will has earned the title of being my favorite musician :DD

Thank you so much :))

Thank you i was looking for it about to make one myself :)))
the "good night I love you" in Euthenasia is the emotional equivilant of a jumpscare the way it instantly makes me tear up oml
YES. THIS.
I used to be able to listen to Euthanasia with a completely straight face. And then I watched the music video and understood the context.
You'll find me sobbing on aisle five.
@@fishboy888 euthanasia video comments probably made me lose 4 pounds of tears i cant listen to it without crying
“Everything is a lot” to “Uh, I mean, It’s Kind of a Lot” feels exactly like my progression pre-therapy and now, so I’m projecting that onto will wood’s growth as an artist.
Wait that's actually really cool :')
you and me both
Based though.
How are you now changelingarts? I hope you've come to the point where its better than the alternative :D
I wish my daughter was alive to listen to this album. I found they once wrote: "you're not alone, Will Wood's got your back"
I’m so sorry for your loss :( I bet their enjoying his albums up above peacefully :)
dont worry, i feel same, this album will (wood) help dont worry
i’m so sorry:(
They would have loved his album. May they rest in peace.

The emotional and musical whiplash from going from "Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll" to "Big fat bitchie's Blueberry Pie, etc etc" was something I didn't know I needed in my life.

REAL
This album is basically "Of Mice and Mental Illness", it's all I've wanted and more LMAO
LMAO LOVE THAT
that is literally the best way you could’ve put it oml
YOU'RE RIGHT LOL
ACTUALLY A BETTER ALBUM TITLE
LIKE "IN CASE I MAKE IT"?? REALLY??? IN CASE YOU MAKE IT TO WHAT, DASHCON 2023?
THATS PERFECT
this album makes me feel something. everytime i listen to tomcat disposables, i go "no! don't eat it! don't fucking eat it!", and still it happens...., the main character has me dancing across the room, religiously chanting the lyrics, meanwhile against the kitchen floor.... well, i'm down pounding my head against the kitchen floor, and crying, at how fucking amazing this is. a perfect album in its entirety, i am astounded. i have no more words. merci.
did i ghost write this?
OKAY YES!!!!!! SIDE NOTE YOUR NAME... MR. BOY X OUTLIARS AND HYPPOCRATES???
Listen to Chonny Cash's cover, it's the good ending version
The mouse gets water and cheese
I get scared to listen to artist's new music in fear it'll "ruin" their music for me, and I was introduced to WW by all the older songs...but I have not heard a single song I don't like from this album so far. I don't think I will. they're all so emotional and powerful and I am only 6 songs in as of writing this and I have already cried to 5 songs. I mean that in the best way possible this album is an EXPERIENCE. a rollercoaster. I love this so much.
ah! i get that way too!!
Ikr!! There's not a single song from him i dislike.
I mean if you are interested in a stranger rambling why not try some OST, many games have great songs.
Try mgs4 final theme or hell all of drakengard OST.
Anyways take care stranger
Most people who complain about an artist changing style of trying something new "ruining" their old music... are usually losers, no offense (not saying it's you).
It's like... they're artists. they're free to try whatever styles they want. and even if an artist sells out to a record company or something, that doesn't make their past work any worse. be happy that something good happened, not sad that it changed.
I know exactly what you mean. I felt the same thing with Will’s last album cause I got use to the first two albums released, but I haven’t found a song that isn’t amazing. Some I prefer more than others but they’re all so good
cant stop thinking about the “hand me my shovel im going” in reference in Half-Decade Hangover
Just wanna thank Will for the subtitles on this video. That probably was very tedious to do but for those of us who like to use them it's very nice :)
Thank you so much for pointing this out, I can't believe I haven't noticed it.😭
Same!
Thank you for pointing this out!
Yesss
Yes yes yes yes
English ain't my native language and I always search for lyric videos 'cause I can't make out the words in a new song. So when any artist I like drops a new song I'm always like ''ughh time to google lyrics agaaain'' but this video literally has lyrics in it already omg omg I'm so grateful
THE WAY YOU LIKED THIS MOVES INTO THE MAIN CHARACTER
will this is your best album yet. we don't deserve you my man.
do you genuinely think this is his best album?
@@gibbyneutron1433In my personal opinion yeah, but Normal Album is close second.
@@gibbyneutron1433 absolutely
@@gibbyneutron1433 this implies you disliked this
@@blairebelarus i dont dislike it, but this is his most dissapointing album compared to all of his previous works, i dislike the direction this album took the sound, its a good album but not anywhere as good as the normal album and everything is a lot
I said it when he released the Normal Album and I'll say it again: Will Wood write a musical challenge
seriously his composition feels VERY music-theatre-y at times, and during The Main Character he does that thing that all the best performers are able to do where you can HEAR him smiling when he sings.
IKR?? And his albums feel kinda like they have a development and a subtle story (The Normal Album especially). If he wrote a musical i'd be foaming from the mouth
I KNOW. It's so wild! "The Main Character" is definitely my favorite because of how characterized it is (no pun intended, that's genuinely just the best descriptor for this). It's so... _full._ Full of life. It's awesome.
i was listening to some of his music in the car with my mom and (completely unprompted) she said that "he sounds like a musical." so, there's that, haha
Not everyone wants to write a Broadway style musical about their declining mental health, listen to the lyrics of the album he wrote this one because he was struggling to make ends meet. Jesus christ you people are vultures if he wants to make art he's gonna make art but let him make the art for himself at least instead of for others. Missed the whole point of the song you "love" so much
yes!!!! i was just thinking about how musical-y willard! sounded. man i love that song
found a hoodie of this album in a thrift store. and because i don't wanna be that person that just gets stuff from artists because it looks cool, i searched him i actually really like his style. anyways its a cool way to discover a new artist to be obssesed with

I physically cannot make it past Euthanasia, my heart can't handle it. Thank you Will Wood for letting me feel emotions that are miserable in the moment, but remembered fondly after I've gotten a hold of myself, sincerely.
I literally cannot listen to euthanasia without crying. Fuck i love your music.
I legit have to skip it cuz it cuz it hurts to listen, its so good but so painful
Me too :(
Its fucking hard for me to cry even when most hurt but. Euthanasia somehow pierces my heart.
I had a mental breakdown in school cause it started playing while I was drawing one of my old pets that was put down while I was away easily the worst coincidence ever
@@shadyjesusrodriguez.2821 mood
euthanasia and tomcat disposables always kills me because I lost my grandma and dog in close proximity to each other and this album came out shortly after. I love this album but I usually avoid listening to the whole thing in fear I'll start crying and not stop. recently I've been listening to it and it feels like an act of healing after grieving, just even being able to listen to this. this is such an emotional album let alone that but it's so good and so meaningful. love this 💙
Becoming Lastnames had me BAWLING.
I haven’t cried that hard in years
IKR
HONESTLY I’ve never been more “holy shit” before
Why tho
@@wmurd because it’s a sad song and I was trying hard not to cry
@@Cusimmrbrightside Really? Felt to me more like satire making fun of people who feel they "need" to have kids and settle down just because their parents told them they had to.
Like how people who are 40-50 now are in unhappy marriages because society/their parents told them they "need" to have kids and marry.
The part that really unsettled me was "You said you don't want kids, but think about a daughter." He's ignoring her wants and feelings because he's chasing some sort of idealistic nuclear family dream.
From the singles Wood released, we know this is gonna be fucking fantastic. Imagine some alternative rock musician like Wood making 16 songs that makes you wanna cry.
The only artist I know that makes me want to rock out and cry at the same time.
YOU WERE RIGHT
You were very accurate
@@P0Pdart if you listen to the lyrics and can understand it, it's pretty deep lmao
@@gq_skelly best song in the whole album
ranting (bad english):
God, I was so afraid to hear it because I knew it'd be different and I knew it'd be personal. And with this kind of stuff, I feel obligated to feel every single second with my entire being, it does take lots of effort. So I just waited for the right time.
And oh
my
god.
It's so beautiful. back when SDRR just came out there were some mixed opinions out there and I myself was somewhat unsure. and when I heard the song again, there was no uncertainty left. I didn't even need to analyze every single lyric, it was simply amazing. it was almost like I heard it for the first time. the whole album filled me with emotions that don't even have a name yet. tomcat disposables made me cry. I couldn't make out all of the lyrics, I didn't understand all of the songs and I still felt like they _gave_ me something. it's like I didn't give away something in exchange for understanding the meaning, it's like the meaning was given to me.
I don't actually think that anyone's reading this but this album is so aaaaaaaahhhhh I love it so much and I love will and I just love how will he is and my appreciation for all this is immeasurable sueiwjwjsuoej4h im sorry but I'm still posting this comment because i have THOUGHTS and EMOTIONS and I'm CRINGE and I don't speak ENGLISH and anyway, Will Wood
p s. becoming the lastnames is my fave
also adding here that some songs are not that deep & they're not Will pouring his beautiful heart out. they are just songs with a cool vibe (confirmed by the man himself through a comment to vampire reference)
Congratulations to Will for being the only musical artist to make me cry, true achievement there.

@@asageadayart surprise
The "Hold my hand, we'll dance the 12-step on my grave" is fuckin incredible
my grandfather passed this morning. right now we're having a memorial ceremony and its 7, almost 8p.m, about 14 hours after his passing.
ive never been close with him, but we have shared memorable moments and i remember a lot about him, even though they were small. i remember how he always checked the mailbox every few minutes, i remember how he always mistook me as one of my cousins, i remember how he would remind me to brush my teeth every time after dinner and smile while giving me a nod and thumbs up of approval whenever i responded. he always told me the same stories over and over again and i sometimes would get irritated at him, but i understood it was just him wanting to be a good grandfather and interacting with his grandchildren.
this album was and still is one of my favourites, which is why i chose to listen to this during the ceremony. death is mentioned a lot in this album. of course i wont compare the passing of my grandfather, a human being, to the death of Mr. Boy, a rat, but even though the songs in this album like Euthanasia and Tomcat Disposables are about the death of rats, they remind me of my grandfather in a way. Will Wood helped me deal with a lot of stuff, one of them being accepting that death would happen eventually, so i am very happy i get to listen to one of my favourite albums of his and can get reminded of someone i loved. its even more comforting knowing that Mr. Boy, like my grandfather, are gone with people who will love and remember them forever and that they are no longer suffering, finally at peace wherever they may end up.
my mental and physical health's been all over the place lately, but ill promise to take care of myself like how my grandfather always tells me to. now i know why we say that theres a better place that waits beyond the grave, and i hope Mr. Boy will find peace wherever that is along with my grandfather. and im glad i can find comfort in this album, being able to be reminded of my grandfather and everyone else ive lost while listening to it.
dude this was the first time i listened to against the kitchen floor & i acknowledged the dark lyrics but i fucking got up in my empty living room to just start grooving because of how fucking HARD IT WENT
I know this comment would get lost in the chat, so here it is. Since I've found your music, i've been through really tough times. Music is one thing that can get me through all of that hell, and thank you so much for being a part of it.
@@ZestyBarnacle69 Also same. I didn't think so many people would be going through hard times
So happy for you :)
I also agree
Same, really this album helped me a lot about my traumas and anxiety, it's like a rollercoaster and really the music was the only thing that made me survive calmer.
I was here since Self-Ish released… will wood your music has meant so much to me, and you as a person I’ve found so relatable and so Inspirational to me, through your development and change as an artist and a person. and the topics and personal life expirence you cover through your music just speak to me fluently, and that’s helped me through some struggling times…. I hope you heal well during your break… and honestly I hope the same for myself at this point.
You will make it.
Burn Pygmalion!!!
@@erk9448 yup 💃🐀
scary jokes !!! bro awesome ww and scary jokes we'd get along
@@erk9448 CHecking this out rn.
This entire album is simply beautiful, a mix of tongue-in-cheek jabs at the audience with a desire to accept the power of change and change itself despite everything life is, shedding off parts of ourselves to become something better + Will's infatuation for mice, he loves those little mouse people that he do.
I found the idea of ''belief despite it all'' that some songs hold something special, belief in change and each other despite our faults and idiosyncrasies, and belief in life after death despite it just not being true as far as we know.
Falling Up (my favorite song next to Euthanasia, The Main Character, Kitchen Floor, and White Noise) feels like an expression of how chaotic just being in life is and how we never expect it to go in our favor until it does and how that and life is simply often out of our control unknowing of what might be even controlling us, death and it's process is a promise, perfection is not, tl;dr Entropy's a bitch,
''But now I will surely drown'' says Will, ''lol'' says entropy, ''imao''.
I loved this album, and I can't wait to get my CD, hell I might buy all of the albums just so I can have them physically, thank you for this album Will, hope the break does you well :)
Eloquently said! You’ve captured my thoughts on this album perfectly, Will’s music is truly special.
I thought falling up was about nursing self because of the refrence to the Hindenburg and other human made disasters
I'd like to formally apologise to the friends I am meeting up with today, because I'm not gonna shut up about this today. Holy shit, this album is BEAUTIFUL. I love it so so much!! The fact Will entirely changed up his style yet still delivered 16 amazing songs is a real testament to his talent. Well done to everyone who worked on this album and made it as excellent as it truly is!
What have they said?? :]
Omg same I've been annoying everyone that is willing to listen to me with will wood I just can't shut up I love his music so much
This album feels like everything’s going to be ok
(English is not my first language so, that)
Two years have past since this album dropped, I remember listening in my dining room with my family around trying so hard not to sob in front of them, and then staying for the last stream of Will before going on hiatus. (I'm still remorseful of not saving it when I had the chance)
This album came in one of the worst episodes of my life, almost pushing me to end it. Tomcat disposables to this day is one of, if not my favorite songs of all times, it encapsulated my feelings and struggles from that time, being so vulnerable and merciless to your imminent death without having the beautiful life everyone seem to experience and talk about, the feeling of being like a small mouse in comparison of the great scheme of things. Every single one of this songs resonated with me in a way I never thought I'd be so identified, especially for someone that doesn't feel quite like someone yet. Two years after, I'm here to listen to this wonderful album once again. Saying thank you for every time ive heard any of the songs of this wonderful album wouldn't be enough to transmit my absolute love and admiration towards these masterpiece. Thank you do much Will ❤
So excited for this album to make me sob for a week :). To the aroace revolution members from the White Noise Post Stream, I love you.
Omg yes
You're probably the only artist, that even with a tonal change in music, I will never gravitate away from. I absolutely am SO happy you decided to press more into the raw emotion of your lyrics and try more softer sounds -- usually I am not too big on 'slow' songs but you always nail them out of the ball park. Every single album you drop I have yet to find a song I'm distained to or dislike. This album dropped at like, a perfect time for me. I'm someone who suffers from BPD and black + white thinking /heavily/ and this whole album (and your music as a whole) has been a massive coping mechanism for me. I view myself as a bad person? Put on Against the Kitchen Floor or Half-Decade Hangover. My intrusive thoughts are beating me up? White Noise. Need utter pining fluff when I think about my girlfriend? That's Enough, Let's Get You Home.
Your music is an utter life saver for someone like me who just... needs someone with a morally grey mindset to tell me "mistakes happen, but we grow" and the way your music used to be and now is an example of it. Thank you so much for this album dude, I can't wait for the next one. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be listening to this album for months on end. 💕
My Mother has been abusing me for 6 years now and the song becoming the last names just hits completely different this entire Album has become something of a way to cope with my trauma thank you mr Will Wood for creating this beautiful Album i truly appreciate it
i’m so sorry to hear that. hope you’re doing okay
@@EurekaX thank you I've gotten a bit better!
It’s nothing like his older songs but I like this. It feels genuine and sorta “Haunting” is the best kinda word I can give it, y’know?
hand me my ibuprofen i’m going in (but honestly i’m so proud of wills recovery!!)
Happy one year anniversary y'all!! It's wild that, no matter how many times I relistened to this album, I never stopped feeling the same way I did when I first did; like we really would make it.
here's to another year and more!!
Many many more indeed :D!!
Willard! Is how I found out about the movie with the same name, I watched both the original and remake and I’m reading the Ratman’s notebooks, I just wanted to say that Willard! and lots of your other work is relatable to myself as a person who has a visual impairment, especially Love, me normally because some days I want to be “normal” & just see like everyone else, while other days I’m perfectly fine with how my eyes are.
I know that was pretty long but I felt like sharing.
Enjoy your hiatus man, keep up the good work!
Hey, i saw your message and I thought I’d drop in. Will (possibly probably maybe) is making a remaster of the normal album. His social media is making posts of him in the booth doing stuff, and I just think it’s neat. So hey, maybe hiatus no longer?
@@giraffeguruvods295 yay!!
Now we just need the TallyHall hiatus to end lol
ive been listening to this and the tapeworms since 2017, and it’s absolutely amazibg to see how you’ve grown . so excited !
You’re lucky, I only found out about him a few months ago lol
@@alt7460 hey, now's the best time to get into their music! When I first got into the tapeworms, only selfish and eial were out (along with some singles). I'm so glad there's more now, I was going crazy just replaying the same songs
two basils that like will wood guys this is groundbreaking
WOAH THATS REALLU COOL
Absolutely MASSIVE props for putting subtitles on every single track for the lyrics. Doubly so for starting every song with the name of the song in the subs too. Seriously, makes learning the lyrics to enjoy the tracks even more just so much easier.
Becoming Last Names got me writing poems again after more than 6 years of silence. It was also brought up in therapy. Thanks.
This album reinstates my belief that emotion is best conveyed through music because so many of these songs invoke an emotion that is oh so familiar yet one that's indescribable through spoken word
memento mori!
Nothing like being here with the folks at the UA-cam stream of a will wood album. A very rare and prestigious event. Love all of u here have a great day
❤
this is the most clear-cut cry for help in response to sudden fame i've ever heard and a. god is the music of it amazing but b. god do i genuinely hope will's ok
god sometimes i feel so miserable i sit in my tiny closet with no light and no sound except for this album
Until today I hadn't listened to euthanasia since before my guinea pig Timothy had passed, and especially considering how happy Tim got whenever I put on Will's music, it hurts so much more
Just listened to the full thing and uh. shit I am crying. I don’t think I’ll listen to this album as much just for the sheer emotional bandwidth it requires. I can’t take feeling this much too often. It’s like staring into the sun except the sun is a mountain of repressed emotional nonsense that’s been steadily growing since I was like 7
Didn't find anyone here talking about the transition between "OK Computer" and "The Main Character". GOD!
I can get tired of listening to those songs, and the whole album is so well done.
Will, you are a MAESTRO. You’re a genius. Every part of this is flawless. I’m sure everyone agrees, as well. You WILL make it, Wood. You will make it, and you’ve made it this far. We believe in you. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for this piece of artwork.
lol, ironic that you said that bc I was thinking about how much some of this reminded me of stromae (not really music-wise just.. vibes)
@@a-bird-lover it kinda does?!?! You’re right!!
Euthanasia reminds me of my baby Pterodactyl that I lost a few years ago. He was an amazing cat. and i got him when I was 4 years old. I turned 15 in January. I told him everything was gonna be okay the morning he died, and that everything would go back to normal. I miss my baby :(
i struggle with coping with the idea of death. i have for a couple months now. it’s been making my life hellish.
i finally got the chance to listen to this and. It gave me a chance to finally let all my emotions out.
it’s currently midnight and I’m bawling my eyes out, trying not to scream from my emotions just releasing. this album has made me realize I should probably find a new therapist.
ty will wood :)
this guy really is musical kurt vonnegut huh,,,
i'm young, very gay, neurodivergent, angry at the world, and a huge fan of theatric rock-and-roll. But I really, sincerely love this album- purely because of its message in the context of all of the older music. It sort of helped me realize (albeit in a painful, raw, undeniably unique way) that i can't fetishize "something being wrong with me" because it'll just trap me there. It actively describes getting *better*, as opposed to just acknowledging that something's wrong, or wallowing in that wrongness, and I genuinely appreciate it. i think it's wonderful to appreciate older, angstier art, and sympathize with the place of pain that it comes from- just as long as we no longer pressure the artist into making more of it after they no longer feel that pain. Art is a form of self-expression, and demanding nihilism or cynicism from someone is just the same as demanding someone to tell you that everything is fine and happy. It really fills you with hope, and i similarly hope that other people (especially younger fans!) are able to feel that too! i love WW's old music, and i relate to it a lot. But i also wholeheartedly root for him to find a resolution to the painful emotions in it, as well as for the struggles in this one- the same way I wish for the resolutions of my own angers and fears someday.
love this whole analysis you've done but holy shit that first sentence is going to be stuck in my head forever.
I’m gonna associate The Main Character with Stanley Parable, help. It’s so funky silly though
You're right!!
I will never unsee this
"Everything is a Lot"
"Uh, I Mean, It's Kind of a Lot."
Hmm, hmm, I see you.
this is gonna seem cheesy, but honestly i don't care-
will your music is so fucking amazing?? your music is some of the best ive ever heard. the lyrics are wonderful and the composition itself is absolute heaven to listen to it makes me so happy. your music is one of my biggest inspirations too!! like holy shit. this is amazing thank you so much. your music (especially this album) has gotten me through some real tough times. i am forever grateful
i can't believe it's been a year because i feel like i've been listening to this album my whole life. this album came right when i needed it most and helped me feel less hopeless, less inhuman, less alone. in a way, it felt i was holding my breath for my whole life, and when i heard this album for the first time, i got to let it go. everything about this album is beautiful, the instrumentals are gorgeous, the lyrics are so complex and personal and devastating, and the vocals are just so amazing and filled with so much emotion it hurts (not a bad thing). i can't imagine a world where this isn't my favorite album, and i'm so glad i got to experience it.
(hopefully this doesn't sound too intense or invasive i just really appreciate this album)
Against the kitchen floor had me feeling a whole new emotion I never knew I had
Happy One Year anniversary "ICIMI," :)

falling up means a lot to me. fun semi related fact my ancestors apparently brought dandelions to north America due to the fact it made good wine, according to family myth of course.
Man this sounds great, in comparison to Will's previous works every song feels even more... I don't know, more personal, human?
It's nostalgic in some songs and weirdly optimistic yet with a heavy feeling, at least that's how I ended up feeling by the end of the album
Listening to this at 3 am while its violently raining outside is perfect

I went into this worried I wouldn't like it but holy shit, this might be Will's best album yet. Each song feels thematically similar to each other but each has its own distinct vibe and I've already found myself belting out a lot of these lyrics.
My favourites so far are Falling Up, Against the Kitchen Floor, The Main Character and White Noise but all of them are growing on me :)

Will, I don't know if you'll see this or not, but an interview I saw about you and your near-death experience and just general life experiences resonated with me, a suicidal-ish fifteen-year-old. This album hurt too, what with Willard, Against The Kitchen Floor, Half-Decade Hangover, and Um, It's Kind of A lot. All of these songs hit harder than I'd like to punch myself, and honestly? In case I make it too, it'll be for you and everyone else, Will. Thanks for changing an undiagnosed neaurodivergents whole entire life.

Will wood drops a banger album that's gives me the ache in my heart that i didn't know i needed, and expects me to be okay?
edit: i keep coming back to this album almost every week. it's such a beautifully crafted album and it holds such a special place in my heart.
edit again: this is such a beautiful album that has helped me through so much over the past year. i've showed this album to my friends who loved it as much as i did. every song in this album makes me feel emotions i haven't felt in 2 years. the fact itś going to be a year old in 3 weeks still astounds me. thank you will wood for this amazing album.
Will's music is exactly why I force myself to listen to full albums instead of just skipping through and listening to the "hits" because, in all actuality, an album is a story. A picture, if you will, of a time in the artist's life. I'm not super great with words (I usually can't stand them) but an album, such as this one, can speak for me most of the time. And I like that.
Also, it's been 2 YEARS since this came out?!? Dammit, I'm old.
When this album first came out, I didn't really like Becoming The Lastnames. Now its one of my favorites on the album. The reason why? A DnDads animatic.
come back right this instance and make a happier album because I keep sobbing my eyes out like no kidding I could fill a ocean with my tears because of this album
pleae will this is the 3748th time I’ve sobbed to this album
tell me why so many of these songs are simultaneously bangers AND make me emotional. this is an incredible album, the instrumentation is phenomenal and every song was just so interesting to listen to. truly outstanding work!
I’m so pumped for this. Going in mostly blind since I haven’t checked out Cicada Days or White Noise yet, the surprise is always always fun 👀👀
You probably have at this point but on the off chance you haven’t you should check out the music vid for White Noise because I feel like the song’s message is even more beautiful with the context of the video
the amount of references in this album are so many that its impossible for any will wood fan to hold down the smile
god, "um it's kind of a lot" i think is the most relatable song on this entire album. it reminds me so much of myself, especially the line "hold on too tight and scare you too" because god that happens too much. i adore this entire album, but that song specifically is just the best one in my eyes
Don't know why I haven't listened to this album yet, I guess I'm just afraid of the unknown. I have no idea what to expect... Leaving this comment to remind myself to come back and FINALLY listen to it. Later.
I break down into tears for the first 4 songs and am left sobbing by the end of Euthanasia but once Falling Up starts playing it somehow always leaves me feeling happier and hopeful.

euthanasia is misspelled but thats okay you dont have to change it your content is pretty good so
omg it's confused narrator in the comment section under Will Wood's full albums stream "In case I make it,"! :D
The 'You Like This (Okay, Computer!)' Genuinely scared me for no reason, at all
That feeling when a song about a rat trying to get by just hits you a little too hard and you have to try not to start crying at your big kid job.
this album has gotten me through 5 separate mental breakdowns. thank you will wood, very cool
Happy second anniversary to ICIMI! I love this album, and it's nice going back to listen to the entire thing while drawing art for the 2nd anniversary :>
This album just... I don't have the fortitude. It hurts me very deeply unlike anything else I've listened to.
i love the album so very much, the other songs are already stuck in my head. truly a beautiful sound this album has so far-and the look of it, too. so much effort when in to it and its clear to see :)
Ever since I got introduced Will wood Against the Kitchen Floor and the Normal Album became my favorite songs. Period, As many say "In Unison! We all shout 'Thank you Will!!!' "
i like how the song with the longest name is the shortest song on the album
MY HANDS ARE STIMMING LIKE CRAZY DUDE I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS, AHHSHDH LOVE YOU WILL ! 😭🖤🖤
CAN AGREE JSHHEBEH
SAME
my adhd/autism ridden brain is so happy rn bro
@@phantompartyy on god bro
WE ALL LOVE WILL. even though I'm 2 days late.
This album was absolutely wonderful. I can't really express how much I believe that Will is such an ingenious songwriter. Even though there's a good amount of little silly metaphors in these songs, they strike an emotional cord in someone in such an impactful way. I love how it's about general experiences that people have (primarily inspired from experiences from himself) and it's just lovely as a whole. Amazing album!! I hope for it to be my very first LP vinyl I collect because Will has earned the title of being my favorite musician :DD
Bro, I love this album so much even if one of the songs on here made me cry for like 5 hours straight.
