Hey so seems to me that the break in period was finished outstandingly and in record time. Props to the propeller that propels your person to places profound. Let's do something fun like "commencement at the obedience academy" or "big bang"
Happy to hear you actually bump his music and think it over. His concepts are so abstract, that repeat listening is a must, but he is a legitimately good lyricist and musician so it's a pleasure to do so.
Can we get on some Hail Mary Mallon next which has Aes and Rob Sonic (who appeared on this track near the end). Two dope lyricists with some fun back and forth play
"Still pull a broadsword from a horded synthesizer " is just him bragging about how he can still produce sick beats. Aes is quite the producer as well and he produced the beats for this album.
So, before I forget. He's got a short little track called "Alchemy" with Blueprint. I forget about that one, but alchemy as a metaphor is strong wih this one. I always think of alchemy during "Shrunk", but you haven't done that one yet.
@@HolloWolf35 I'd never skip it. The subject matter's on the depressing side, but still a little ray of sunshine in there. The ollie line is probably the downright sappiest thing I can recall him saying. He doesn't often try "wholesome". Glad they put one more track after it to lighten the end of the album up a little.
@@HolloWolf35 My earliest real "sparks" on the learning fire were Tool, RATM, SoaD, into comedy by Carlin, Hicks, books by Huxley, Orwell, Robert Anton Wilson, P. K.

He's become the mnemonic link between every thought in my brain for over two decades now. There's nothing you could randomly say that I couldn't relate to some lyric of his.

I think your style of super deep into lyrics you should check out aesop early stuff on Float or labor days cause the aesop you get now is the cleaned up version lol love your stuff keep it up Edit realized i should reccomend a thing but Float trakc 2 whaever its called lol
love that vocal layering at the end with Rob Sonic. they've put out two records together under the name Hail Mary Mallon.. you should check out a song by them at some point.. some suggestions would be Kiln, Church Pants, Garfield, Smock, Jonathan...
You know, (maybe others have said this as well) since you usually spend an hour on a song anyway, it might be useful to listen to the whole song first, so you get the gist of it, and then go bar by bar. That way, you can understand the context better, if you know how it ends. Makes sense?
I've often had the same thought but I'm actually starting to come around a bit to the current approach of a kind of first reaction free association analysis. It can sometimes go off base, but I've seen it bear fruit several times over the course of this series when what seems like wild or questionable speculation proves to be super relevant later on in the text. I worry that we'd miss out on some of those discoveries if he wasn't able to get all the pieces out there on the table as he goes and see what might fit where until after he'd already developed a sense of 'what the song means'.
@@meowzebub9667 I get what you're saying, yet at the same time, you just described my own AR listening experience - I don't really get the overarching theme of a song unless it jumps out at me from some unassuming bush, and usually look for the lyrics after I've had a few replays, all in order to catch some bits and pieces and scribble my own interpretations on wtf is going on, be they accurate or not. What I'm saying is, considering the artist in question, one listen is not gonna reveal much anyway :V I'm not hating on your POV, I'm just a bit of a contrarian by nature XD
@@durere Nor am I hating on yours, but I do feel like you loose something that way where you gain nothing you can't get later. So, the idea that it's easier to see what he means when you have the context, boom, obviously. But we all know nobody gets everything first time anyway, and you're only waiting a few minutes for said context. But actively choosing to wait until you hear the whole thing, you can loose sight of the way things appear to you at first glance, which is something Aes can absolutely be very aware of, the idea that a bar he is using to build a story can be heard in the moment he says it and understood a slightly different way; but further he might even intentionally play with it, in fact I'd posit he has done at least a few times. So to just brush past that as if there would never be any value in the very act of analyzing what is presented as it is presented ie sequentially in musical form not to mention artistically, and not concisely and exactly to the point, would be to loose something in any and every situation in which something might pop up which would be lost by the time he goes back to hear it again with context that might lead him to say something else about a bar entirely, not even surplus, just instead. If anything why not just ask him to either end the video with one last full playthrough to tidy up any loose ends, or else do like update vids/community posts where he talks about his evolving interpretation/understanding of any track he's currently ruminating on.....?

Dang you're ambidextrous..? I was born ambi but I had a teacher mistreat it out of me. I'd say "beat it out of me' for the cliché but nothing physical. She called it weird and unnatural, I'd always have to write righty when she was facing my direction and then switch lefty to give my right hand a break when she was looking away. One day she went so far as to send me to the principal when she caught me. Pretty sure the principal was as confused when I got there as my mom was when she got a call about it, but, ya know. So now I still naturally do a few things lefty but I'm basically exclusively right now, and I can't write lefty to save my life. I'm told I had an uncle who could take a pen in each hand and sign his name from each end meeting at the middle, upside down ie he'd show off by facing you and sign his name in front of you so you could read it. Too young to have verified it, and I dunno if I'd have done anything that crazy, but every now and then I'm reminded that I used to be ambi and I really miss that skill I used to have.

Left is my dominant hand, but mainly for writing. Something about the standing positioning while using the chalkboard. I can easily switch, but left is preferred. In basketball, left is preferred for layups, but right when shooting. Just before my generation, they were forcing children to use the right hand....I remember a teacher getting Fired for hitting a kid with a ruler. Lol

Yaay
Yooo, let's gooo, one of my favorite songs.
Dope react. I would recommend doing Water Tower next, it sort of plays on Rabies thematically. Transitioning into the circle of life.

Take it with a lil salt and pepper, my moon's in Gemini, I like hearing people talk. Intelligently.
