the angel staying over at my house asked for a nightlight in their room and i told them buddy, don't you produce your own light? what're you gonna do with more? and they said they wanted to see why people like it so much. and also that the nightlight i own is blue and they've been trying to understand color. anyways i think they've stared at it for an hour now

AOTD 3/5/2024 - For Long Tomorrow (toe)

[All albums are rated subjectively based off my own enjoyment] 9/10

For Long Tomorrow is a 13 track album spread over 50 minutes of run time, made by the Japanese based instrumental math rock band Toe. This album was damn consistent, each song was crafted in the same vein as the others, but they all had something of their own to offer, keeping it from becoming Boring. From front to back, it was a pretty damn good experience, one I believe worthy of high praise. However, I didn't feel this was an Elevated track list, not making the album worth more than the sum of it's parts, but it was worthy of rounding up it's score. While it didn't absolutely blow me away, it was absolutely fucking solid, scoring 8's all the way through, with the occasional 9.

In this album, The Groove is the #1 priority. The drums and bass are always forward, moving the track along - not too charged - but at a very forward pace. The rest of the composition was almost Trance-ish, using repetition to hook the listener into it's groove. I felt that it's use of repetition worked heavily to its favor, building legitimacy rather than feeling lazy or annoying, working perfectly to keep the listener nodding along to that sacred groove. Between the undistorted electric guitars, synths, acoustic guitar, piano, and xylophone for a track or two, the tone of each track were never too happy or down, always perfectly towing the line just north of Melancholic. While it did have it's more Chill, Midnight Burner-y tracks, they never once felt slow, always moving along to those drums. Those wonderful, immaculate drums…

Oh yeah, who the fuck is these guys' drummer? He's fucking Immaculate!! It's easy for drummers to drive a powerful, blazing rock beat, but to tow the line this fucking well, juuust barely edging on Driven, but not quite pulling back to the center of the pocket, always being just perfectly… Forward. Energetic, but never over driven. Genuine 10/10 performance there, holy shit.

My favorite track is Track 9, starting with an almost lazy head melody while the drums just go insane in the back, before syncing up to the melody with some cymbal crashes. The groove then starts, the melody moving between an acoustic guitar and two synths, as the drums push the song just so perfectly forward, taking absolute center stage with fantastic showmanship in it's performance. A Xylophone then comes in to lay down the main idea right before the drums completely drop out for a few bars, before running right back in with the synths and acoustic guitar. Different elements of the song trade and drop out all over this fantastically complex drum groove through the run time, and holy SHIT is it a joy to listen to! The song then breaks down with the drums kind of going off on their own thing as the xylophone keeps the pulse steady while these almost random synths raise the tracks intensity to it's peak, before ritarding down to a close, the synths beeping on for a few moments more before ending off the track. Elements of this song somehow reminded me of C418 between its instrumentation and… ambience? I guess that's what happens with these Trance type of compositions. Will Be coming back to Track 9 in the future, Goddamn. Heavy contender for my top 50.

My biggest critique of this album is probably the Mastering. Overall, it's really good; not over or under compressed, every element is audible, the balance is great, but the EQ is just a bit off, over emphasizing the Mids in some places. Oh well, I'll live. Small critique.

Overall, Great fuckn listen. Will be recommending this to people in the future

Hello ! I positively adore the running joke of Idia unknowingly finding Lilia to be the coolest guy ever whenever he doesn't know it's him, like when Silver described his father, or obviously with muscle red. I can't say what'd be funnier, Idia finding out his online best friend is actually Lilia, resident spooky hyper fairy; or them both never finding out, and it'd become even more ridiculous as time goes on. How do you think it'll play out ? You're always so on point

(Also, though it makes sense, I'm still devastated bat boy didn't get a ticket for the Halloween skeleton train : ( does anyone mentions him at some point ? Like how he'd have fit right in with all those Halloween town little freaks, and how he'd have impressed them with his spooks and scared techniques; after all he's been every Briar Valley's children worst fear on Halloween for centuries. I'm on the eng server and I didn't wanna spoil myself by watching the whole thing on youtube)

Have a nice day !

you and me both, Idia and Lilia being oblivious online BFFs (+ Idia being incredibly intimidated any time Silver brings up his jock gamer dad) is my favorite running joke/subplot. 🤝 it's SO good, to the point where I also am unsure if I actually want it to ever be resolved or not...maybe, like, as a post-canon stinger or something? everyone's standing around covered in overblot ink, and Idia and Lilia's phones go off at the same time...

(legit I do think this is part of why Idia couldn't be present for Lilia's dream, because for some reason Lilia decided he was going to just. embody his past self online. he probably quotes his own battle strategies or whatever in the middle of boss fights. Idia didn't pick up on the whole "oh how weird that we both live on a super remote island" thing, but he would spend thirty seconds listening to General Lilia describing siege warfare and be like "w-wait")

all that aside, however it does end up happening, I do see Lilia being very blasé and all "oh! cool!" about it. y'know, taking it very much in stride! and Idia...very much not.

(can't tell if tumblr is going to chew this into illegibility or not, this will be a fun surprise ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ)

as for Lilia sadly missing out on Halloweentown shenanigans...he does get one little mention as part of an offhand reference to the light music club, but so far no one has brought up how this basically is just Lost In the Book of Liliatown (Sebek's been too busy yelling about not getting to be in the same group as Malleus). 😔 honestly though, it's probably for the best that he got left out, because he would just settle right in and refuse to ever leave. canon would shatter. we would miss out on all the delightful angst of episode 7 because Lilia is too busy eating poisonous shrubbery inbetween practicing his very best screams, and no one can pull him away from it.

(I can hope for a sequel next year though...)

Why is no one talking about the fact that Bill is probably back as a bird? The last two pages in the book of bill show the statues eye not glowing, and the last page the eye is glowing with that looks like a bird on his hand. I would show pictures but I don’t have the book on me atm! Anyways bird bill…. I must draw him….
