    New song from Justin from his upcoming EP. It's called "Footsteps" and the EP is looking pretty good so far.

    crazy how fully Commit This To Memory holds up after all this time. one of the best records ever, in or outside of its genre.

    also took me until this most recent listen to realize that the 'grey cell green' referred to in "Make Out Kids" is actually a song...

    Justin's new EP is alright. There just aren't the hooks or the lyrics I really love from MCS, but there's some good stuff to be found in there.

    I think one of the reasons I’ve been able to continuously enjoy this band into my 30’s is the lack of extremely immature/misogynistic lyrics.

    I agree with this to a certain extent but there is a a rampant “sad sack”-ness that permeates the whole discography and it almost begins to turn me off after extended listens

    Thats part of why I love them so much lol. They always seem to be laced with the right amount of humour and positive optimism.

    The self-deprecation with a side of humor is what I love most about Justin's lyrics. He's written a lot of my favorite lyrics ever

    MCS is one of the few bands to come out of that early 00s era pretty much entirely unscather in terms of lyrical content

    I mean I definitely get it, but I think he injects enough humor to keep things from dragging.

    Go is the only album that I think has a wobbly mix of darkness and levity

    I mean, I am absolutely a big fan, don’t get me wrong. I love the lyrical style for the most part, it’s def unique and most of his lines are evocative, resonant or thoughtful in some capacity, often reaching devastating and brilliant in one fell swoop. I more mean that his particular style of self-hate has really stuck around for like 20 years now and that kinda bums me out on his behalf, I guess. I think I resonated too hard with the words he said as I suffered similar problems to his in my early 20s. having gotten through (some of) them I feel like my mindset and internal monologue has changed and so as his lyrics stay somewhat the same in tone, they hit a bit differently given that. But hey who tf am I. Not him, I know that much! I should prolly lay off

    I'm 31 and I actually feel way more relatable to his lyrics now compared to when I was younger. I hate myself so much more now and find myself way more lost.

    36 here. His lyrics hit harder every year.

    I get what you're saying but I also think his lyrics have evolved. They're no longer quite as self destructive say as they were on something like CTTM even if they are still self critical. I think that's just the way his mind works.
