fookin' finally. Really looking forward to this. Think it'll follow in the footsteps of Woodstock, with more pop leanings?
I hope it’s better and just overall more realized than Woodstock. That album has some bangers but it’s so half baked compared to the rest of their work.
What’s everyone favorite PTM record? I think Evil Friends is still my #1 with Satanic Satanist being a VERY close #2
the debut is still my #1 but I truly love this band and would have trouble ranking, but might as well try Waiter Satanic Censored Mountain Evil Woodstock Church Mouth Ameican Ghetto
Evil Friends The Satanic Satanist In The Mountain In The Clouds Church Mouth Waiter: “You Vultures!” Woodstock Censored Colors American Ghetto
In The Mountain In The Cloud is my favorite, American Ghetto my least favorite. pretty hard to rank the rest honestly.
It's how I think about it usually, I don't typically think of it as one of the main albums. Most of the tracks are Satanic leftovers that John put together mostly on his own in a 10 day period.
American Ghetto has some bangers like The Dead Dog, 60 Years, and All My People..but definitely a lot of filler. Would have been better as an EP.
from what i remember, Satanic Satanist was the first album they did most of the writing ahead of time for and spent a lot of time on. the albums before were created on the spot in the studio more quickly. American Ghetto was recorded right after Satanic Satanist and John wanted to do something spontaneous and inspired by hip hop beats. i don't think the other members of the band played much on it and it was mostly a collaboration with the producer. John wrote a letter alongside the album that described it more as an experiment or extra/bonus album rather than a main release. i also wonder if it was released to fulfill their contract with Equal Vision and speed up their move to Atlantic

john posted this in the comments: "WMW is meant to be viewed the lense of Mad Magazine. It’s satirizing nationalism and capitalism, the idea that people feel superior based on region or circumstances you were born into. It’s an integral piece of the overall story of the album"
