Come on man, I'm not saying Moor sucks. I'm saying it's risky to put out an album that is noticeably different from their previous works from a pure financials standpoint. If you're gonna be snarky at least try to understand my point.
Sorry if I came off aggressively, really I am. Just saying they're still great after almost two decades and that's rare
who's saying they're not. I'm on record saying they're my favorite band. and it's okay man. ETID love is stronger than whatever.
What about favorite lyrics? Off the top of my head: Goddamn Kids These Days This labyrinth that we're puzzled by Is nothing but a straight line But sometimes those are even harder to navigate
When in Rome we shall do as the Romans, when in Hell we do shots at the bar Last call, kill it We don't think in terms of the morning afters And we don't utter a single word of the night befores In the meantime we're just thoughtless incessant buzzing apparatus Disillusioned and lonelier than the last man standing It doesn't get any better than this so run like Hell This is a rock and roll takeover Ebolarama is just an incredible song
Keith reminds me a lot of Pete Wentz in that they both add a lot of humor to their heart on sleeve poetry, plus they both love their puns and twists on common phrases. Makes sense that ETID and FOB are two of my favorite bands ever
As long as your name is on my list or your story written in the choruses then true death couldn't get you. But when its spoken for the last time, the weight is lifted. A third eye. So I make a vow to forget you.
All I want is his head And this horrible fucking world Will be wonderful again There is so much beauty and love And when I eat his beating heart I can bring it back to us
"We deserve to be moved by more than force alone" "We are given too much room to be expected to do only good. We are more curious than bold." "Our mathematics and our faiths are just ways of devouring space while we continue to devolve" "It is better to destroy than to create what is meaningless, so the picture will not be finished"
I think some of Keith's best lyrics were on From Parts Unknown. It was really cool to see his point of view shift more towards positivity, even though they might not read as positive on the surface. I love these lines from Old Light: I'm a train as long as the track I am concurrently outbound and just now getting back
But when it's said and done, you'll find it in the lines that privilege and wit made me misfortunes child. Can't tell collapse that it needs to slow down, can't tell death that it shouldn't come around. And when they take my head and put it on a stake, I'll know that guilt and disgrace keep the dead men awake.
