#Marianas trench

[we-survive-endlessly]

This is how my brain feels, but I’m so genuinely speechless after that album that I can’t articulate any of it

[itsnotafashionstatementitsablog]

when a song has a callback to earlier songs on the same album or even songs from a previous album. that’s the good shit right there

What I love about Marianas Trench is that you'll listen to their new album while in a good mood and be like "This is great! :D" and then you listen to it when you're not feeling the best mentally and it's like oh. these songs are going to save my life actually

It’s possible I will finish this one day but for now please know there is not a single Mariana’s trench song that doesn’t make me think of him

God I can’t wait for Marianas Trench to drop the full album. Listening to their music feels like coming home. The song writing is just absolutely incredible. The way the albums are themed but also reference previous albums, the melodies, the harmonies, the VOCALS. Like to hit both (I think) an F1 and an A5 in a song? HOW

[catty-words]

i am in love with the way marianas trench builds on their own mythology for every new album, and so i already find the coming-into-oneself adventure vibes a la astoria (2015), the ominous strings and vocal flourishes a la phantoms (2019), and the harsher guitar break reminiscent of fix me (2006) delectable in their new album opener.

but as i am most insane for ever after (2011), i am especially excited for the way "a normal life" sets up the new album as a foil for the old fairy tale - a fable with a lesson to be learned more than a whimsical bedtime story. where the speaker was pulled in by the romanticism of leaving behind drudgery in ever after, the new work is frustrated with the ways they can't simply settle into the mundanity.

there's always been this unhealthy sense that the object of affection (porcelain, the dearly departed, the ghost) can fix our speaker's sense of unwellness by staying. now, though, the creative mind behind mt has lived in the security of the sought-after romance for years now, and there's still the pull of that sickness that we got so intimately acquainted with in fix me. what might it mean to embrace the voices in the night? how will venturing into the depths of himself help things fit together right? i'm so freaking excited to find out.

i love listening to marianas trench's music cause all the songs are a solid 7/10 but then CERTAIN PARTS just blow you away like 15/10 style. and then its over in a few seconds. like they shifted the curtain that's hiding god just to give you a peep then closed it again to continue playing rlly decent pop punk
