#glass animals i love you so fucking much

[satyrn-exe]

my thoughts on the new glass animals album, ILYSFM!! :D

(my opinion could change the more i listen to the songs, and i am not a music critic! i am just a dude that really really likes music and glass animals).

show pony: solid! this has a lot of repeating lyrics (including the glass animals trademark of repeating a line over and over for the chorus) which in this case is good! i like it as much as i liked it in agnes & life itself.

whatthehellishappening: the regular verses are.. meh but the chorus is real good! overall dont have strong feelings on it.

creatures in heaven: the lyrics are great, the rhythm and melody are great, the chorus is FUCKING AMAZING. this song should absolutely be their next heat waves. which, honestly, considering how they released it early, the actual subject of the lyrics, and its instrumental reminds me of heat waves* they ARE trying to replicate heat waves’ success. tbh they deserve it. i really like this one.

(*not that the instrumental sounds anything like heat waves, but idk. it just. sounds like it! i wish i had the technical music knowledge to put it into words)

wonderful nothing: this one’s tone starts out a lot different from the rest of the album. its an outlier like mama’s gun in htbahb, where its dark and deep. then it transitions into being more beat heavy, where rhythm of the lyrics feels reminiscent of sgctc. to be honest, unless im trying to listen to a very specific vibe, i cant see myself listening to this one.

tear in space (airlock): FIREEEEEEEE. they released this one early with creatures in heaven and i really like it :3 the repeating of “wata” (water) is a bit silly to me but overall good song ! the pre chorus is so scrumptious. the part where he sings in a higher octave is mmmm yes very awesome.

cant make you fall in love again: ill be real this one bored me. my ass was not paying attention !! its not bad but its not a standout song either. its something that spotify would autoplay that i wouldnt skip, but wouldnt add to my playlists either.

how i learned to love the bomb: the intro made me think its another beat heavy song, which i dont usually enjoy all that much. but as i listened i was surprised that my liking of it went up as i listened like 📈 and then..📉. its just, not good? i think i dont like the rhythm. i actually skipped this one i just didnt like it.

white roses: alright. not amazing, but not as overwhelming boring as the a few of the other boring ones.

on the run: i like it :) its good!

lost in the ocean: ummmmmm i feel like i need to listen to this one more to form concrete opinions on it. i truly do not know if i like it or not!

my final thoughts: i liked this album! its good! does it beat out htbahb as my favourite album? no, but that’s okay! htbahb is like my everything, its would be incredibly hard to beat it. i think its juusssttt slightly below dreamland in my personal rankings. (this could be just me being blinded by nostalgia and my fondness for dreamland & htbahb, though)

my final tier list!

8. lost in the ocean

For two moments I feel so great

‘cause there’s no more worries, no spinning plates

somehow i feel more than ten feet

taller instantaneously

it all seems small and so far away

-“On the Run” by Glass Animals, from their new album “I LOVE YOU SO F***ING MUCH”

The song reminded me of my depiction of gender euphoria with my merman oc, Olympe 🌊

Do you think Clyde lovers are gonna match the energy from the first round?

I hope so.

That loser deserves we world with no effort from his behalf.

WATER RUNNIN DOWN MY FACE WATER RUNNIN DIFFERENT WAYS WAYER LIKE A BILLION WAYS WATER JUST A TEAR IN SPACE

[cursed-elements-blog]

Creatures in Heaven is a Chase and Leo song right? I can imagine it now, Leo's POV is the singer and Chase obviously the subject of the song and the speaker's affection.

ouuuoghhhh like "I don't think I realize just how much I missed you sometimes. We were young and so in love. We were just creatures in heaven" OUUUGHH!!! AAARRRGHHH!!! THAT'S THEM AFTER THE BREAKUP!!! ooough

their relationship is a new level of tragic to me cause they were best fucking friends. they grew up together, learned about the world together, made friends, learned about themselves with each other and then they fell in love and it fucking all fell apart and OUOUUGHH OOOOWWWW

"ILYSFM"

put this on my insta, but i forgot i have a account here too lmao. here's what i wrote there:

this is my love letter to a beautiful album.

no band has impacted my life as much as them.

every song here is amazing. there's so much hurt, but there's also so much love and hope.

i've been waiting excitedly since the first teaser dropped, and that excitement followed as they released Creatures in Heaven and Tear in Space (Airlock).

truly gorgeous music, and well worth the wait since Dreamland.
