#album of the year for me. personally

[coyoteworks]

'Cause why have a god if no one is saved I think love is a burden if it ain't brave

[kickedin17]

I'm seeing people point out that the Craving (at least the single version) is about SAI being perceived by a lot of people as a flop album & I think that's probably correct but I also think it probably applies to Lavish, because I truly cannot imagine why else they decided to include it on the album? Like don't get me wrong I love Lavish but narratively it reads as the most 'expendable" song on the tracklist. Yet Tyler allegedly wanted to leave off Navigating (which they gave the lore video to, lmao) and kept Lavish. Which is fair because it's a banger and a nice break from everything else, but it's also just telling to me that they very intentionally did a song about industry bullshit on this album, the most direct they've gotten since Lane Boy.

Like either their label or someone in the industry did something to piss them off that we don't know about, or it's a generalized frustration. I have to imagine it would hurt to be Grammy noms/winners two albums in a row and then be paid dust the minute you do something a little different. Or (purely speculating here) to experience label pressure to have another album cycle like blurryface, when that's virtually impossible to replicate unless you're, like, taylor swift specifically, and when it inevitably doesn't happen they start pulling back on financing/promoting you/helping you get nominations the same way they used to. They're fucking you behind your back and you can't really do much about it because they're the ones with the money and the influence, and you're supposed to trust them to take care of/care about your work. Like tøp has never been a band that values itself on award or critical recognition, it's always been for us, but creatively speaking the whiplash of going right from your most commercially successful album, to your most critically acclaimed album, then to your most criticized - and to a degree you now just assume your time as a critical/commercial darling has passed, which Tyler seems to - would have to hurt. It would have to.

Honestly tho he probably just knew he cooked with the proctologist line and needed everyone else to know too

i know its not that serious and i can feasibly change it any time, but i wish i could travel back to 2015 and shake teenage me by the shoulders and say PICK A DIFFERENT USERNAME because i never thought i'd still be having to tell people "yeah my instagram is 'cryptozoology' but the first y is a v so its like c-r-v..." . honestly i would change it to wuntrum everywhere even though i literally got this username from a password generator because at least this one can be said out loud 😭

[foursaints]

what did you think of ttpd!! we gotta know

[darkacademiaarchivist]

when hozier wrote "heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I" and "the only heaven I'll be sent to is when I'm alone with you"

[minhosimthings]

How is a fucking album for a goddamn webtoon so amazing and full of cunt like I need to unhear this album so I can hear it for the first time again please

[onyourstageleft]

[pnfc]

what song(s) do u think fit perryshmirtz the best. share with us your wisdom

fun question, ty! for heinz, bei mir bist du schein. for perry, miss independent by kelly clarkson. very serious about both of these choices

[faithfromanewperspective]

controversial opinion but i really think the best way to enjoy a taylor swift song is to hear it and apply it to your life and have no idea about the actual taylor lore inspiration for the song until maybe 10 years later. that's what i did for every album release cycle i've been around for from speak now to evermore and i've really missed it during midnights and ttpd

[carcarrot]

i gotta focus. im shifting into king crimson mode

Hello friends! Just a quick kh4f programming note: I'll be out of commission for most of, if not all of today, as I'm having a minor medical procedure done. (Outpatient, everything's fine, dw! 🫶🏻) So if anything notable happens (fully expecting Ash to announce ai2 the second I'm sedated 😌) and I'm MIA... that's why lol. Try not to have too much fun without me! 😘💙

[tsukasalover]

This is the exact reason why I hate when people ask to go through my phone. Its always Tsukasa’s fault just remember that.

[fantabulisticity]

The new Kesha album Gag Order ABSOLUTELY FUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been listening to it on repeat the last several days. It's intense and heartbreaking and chaotic and disturbing and wistful and motivating. Listen to it when you have emotional space for it, but definitely listen to it.

[weallpartyatybcpatricksfuneral]

sorry but rat a tat is the thesis of save rock and roll actually you guys just don't like Courtney Love
