To me, it looks like the LP’s artworks center chaos is being thrown from slits on the borders at all cardinal directions, like from other dimensions, instead of exploding out.
Yeah so weirdly enough I think Ten Stories is still the album I love above all their others. I couldn't even tell you why
Like the song to song flow, the general beauty and easiness of the melodies, probably my all round favourite Weiss lyrics are all on there but none of those are quite the reason
You know an album is good when you have it playing in the house and can't bring yourself to leave that area because you don't want to miss a song
if you fail first, some warm, bright day i'll unperform on your unmarked grave one of my fav parts of the record.
Agreed. I’ve raved about this song a lot but I was just listening I was like, “damn, I can’t believe mwY made this song.” Like, it makes perfect sense, but I would have never expected it
Agree. Been trying to interpret the term "unperform." In one sense, I suppose it could mean "die' or "pass on," but in the context of the song, I think it could also mean putting down the facade and stop managing the narrative. ie., being real.
It’s their best. And I can’t even comprehend how. It’s insane. It is an absolutely insane notion. Andolutky. That was supposed to say “absolutely” again, but I’m leaving it.
Worst case scenario and you're right.... that means we get some Geology albums, some Aaron solo albums, and Mike and Ricky form a band that kicks ass for the next decade plus
I haven't decided how I feel about this album yet other than it's really good. The past albums this reminds me the most of are Ten Stories & A->B, more so than it does Pale Horses. I both don't connect with it emotionally, and emotionally connect with it a lot, in a weird kinda way. Yeah. I dunno. Regardless, it's good.
Does anyone look at Genius for lyrics? There already seems to be some good annotations for this album. mewithoutYou - [Untitled] Lyrics and Tracklist | Genius
Thanks for the post. I actually really agree. It's hard to put your finger on but I can particularly resonate with the "I both don't connect with it emotionally, and emotionally connect with it a lot" sentiment. Brilliant album. I tend to avoid Genius for mewithoutYou lyrics as people tend to take a very basic and isolated interpretative stance. It's easy to jump to a conclusion with one line that is so far from what the intended meaning was. Also, Aaron has said that there are usually two or three themes grouped together (at least for the last two, maybe three albums) and I find on Genius people try and make every line fit in with one theme. I prefer to wait for David Daughtery (ohdoubters) and his interpretations. He teamed up with another person this time around. Have you read his PDF for [untitled] ep? You can here. Long read, but I like how he opened up the annotations for the EP and it explains my feelings about Genius a bit more: Any other band Genius is pretty useful though, haha!
Wendy and Betsy sandwiched between 2,459 Miles and New Wine, New Skins is masterful sequencing. This whole album is paced very well. NW,NS is becoming my favorite, I think.
