still thinking about that unreal unearth review that said it was "about as thoughtful as bullet points on a freshman year Great Books syllabus [, which] scan as a naked ploy for depth" and complaining about allusions to the atlas myth on icarian (bc apparently the quota is One mythological imagery per song),,,,, while deriding the line "you were frozen like an angel to me"--a reference to an actual scene in the Inferno (lucifer the fallen angel being trapped in a pit of ice)--as "an incoherent mix of metaphors". congrats on failing to recognize that reference dude. maybe you should have read a little further than that Great Books syllabus

#its just very funny to me #also the fact that the author condemns the snapping in all things end as being 'so mechanically regular it sounds like he forgot to turn off #the metronome' like hooo boy bud do i have some news for you. big budget artists do tend to have extremely cleaned-up and mechanically #regular backing‚ yes. metronomes are used for a reason #he kinda doesn't recognize that the lyrics of all things end aren't 'defeatist' so much as accepting the natural pain of #relationships‚ lives ect ending‚ either. which. low key annoying but not as actively embarrassing for him lol #and calling the album a 'creative death'....... lmao #oh and at one point seemed to complain about the sunlight on the mississippi line bc i guess albums can be about 1 thing and 1 thing only #anyway. anything but rights i think thats actually becoming one of my favorites off the album #vic.txt #hozier #unreal unearth
