i love sigur rós but i cannot imagine what it’s like to go to one of their shows. like what do you do? do you mosh very very slowly? or does everyone just sob on the floor together?

#that’s what i’d do #at least for valtari #that album destroys me #sigur rós

Regional at Best is so special because it feels so exactly like what it is, which is an album made by a young person, younger than I am now, who'd given up everything else to make this dream work and probably had no idea what the hell he was going to do if it didn't. Keep working a normal job? Go back to college? What do you do if the dream doesn't work, when you're an early-20-something who (like all early-20-somethings) has precisely nothing else figured out? What do you do if everyone's right and the art isn't worth it?

Then your bandmates leave. But actually, it turns out perfect anyway, because you end up with this other guy who also has precisely nothing else figured out and no plan B except to be in this very band with you. How rare and precious of a thing that is, to meet someone who believes in your art just as much as you do. At least if you fail you fail together, right?

I think RAB feels like the end of summer and growing pains because it exists in that same itchy, anxious space as your last summer before you graduate high school/college, when it begins hitting you that there will never be a summer like this again because next year you're supposed to be grown up. But the truth is you never figured out how to grow up and you never figured out how to stop dreaming. So many people have to learn that lesson for various reasons, but Tyler and Josh never did because they believed in it so much that I think it truly never could've failed. Even if they never got as big as they did w/ Blurryface, I think they never could've failed because they are for the dreamers.

Self-titled is complicated and beautiful and core to everything else they would do after, but RAB is the beating heart of what tøp was always meant to be imo. It's embracing the fear of getting older because you have no other choice, while acknowledging you're still a little afraid of the dark. It's a night light for the grown-ups who are still scared of long dark hallways they can't see the end of (and work email chains). You turn 23 and discover you probably don't actually want to die as much as you used to, and also that you still think pokémon cards are fucking rad, and both of those things are okay. And maybe you'll never get out of this goddamn town but it never hurts to dream

#twenty one pilots #regional at best #im beginning to feel like clancy is an unintentional response back to rab #because in a lot of ways clancy is about what happens when you're actually Grown Up and how you reckon with that without destroying yoursel #like both albums are sitting at a table in my mind and oldies station/glowing eyes & next semester/forest are having conversations #idk i love rab so much despite any technical faults because #it's not just that it understands what it's like to be in your early 20s it literally is just being in your early 20s. and You understand I #whenever i listen to it im like ohhh you certainly were like 21-22 and lonely and sad as fuck when you made this #and i mean it as the highest praise because me too

mfs will look like this

and then write two concept albums, one about a boy stuck in the middle of the apocalypse first hiding away from the cult roaming his home city and then deciding to rise up and kill the cult leader and take his throne, and another one about a man faking his own death before realising his lies will catch up to him eventually and deciding to go forward with killing himself, telling everyone to just forget he ever existed.

#local cutie patootie writes album that emotionally destroys me #smh #he cant keep getting away with this #jhariah #jhariah clare #a beginner's guide to faking your death #the great tale of how i ruined it all

“I felt like I was drowning, head below the surface, looking up but not being able to break through for air.”

This made me cry.

GUESS WHAT CAME TODAYYYYY!!!

Ugh I'm absolutely in love with this (and the album art book!!). I originally wanted to try and get a blue viynl, but I got impatient with HMV literally never restocking and Amazon selling out before I even know they're back on sale.

Did I maybe pay a little bit too much and indulge myself? Yes. But is it now among one of my favourite vinyl?? Definitely! Vessel's voice works so well on vinyl as well.

#also listening to Telomeres then High Water then Missing Limbs has absolutely destroyed me #that is an absolutely diabolical line up of songs #I've been listening to them while I write and every now and then I just turn to my record player like 😐 when it plays Fall for Me ->#or Missing Limbs like I didn't just flip the disc myself and knew what was coming up next 😭#its just #augh #brilliant album #next I'll be aiming for Sundowning (if someone on Ebay wants to sell one for an actually reasonable price lmao)#sleep token #st #mel's rambles #tpwbyt #this place will become your tomb

Honey, don't count me out Even when the heavens sour Even in your darkest hour Even when the heart is cracked Honey, crash into me Like a storm into the sea Like blood on the silver screen We can make it through all that
