That’s within the due date so fine by me :)

 

Insert Jeapordy waiting theme here

 

I forgot we're on ten day seasons and I was freaking out over my lateness

 

Nah you good until the 10th

 

I'm going to type mine up tonight because I'm a total teacher's pet.

 

I thought this session went until the 12th?

 

I'm enjoying Brockhampton... a lot. The write-up however will be a little more of a challenge.

 

Sssssh trying to make people work faster

 

I will be posting the next session pairings in a bit even though it doesn’t start until the 12th, just so people can start hammering out Recs

 

you know I feel like maybe it's time for another culling before you send out the pairings. I am pretty sure there's some people in there that have been slacking for weeks.

 

Way ahead of you

 

I take notes each session, and I have some ‘spy’ members that keep me notified if someone is slacking or has fallen behind

 

I've fallen behind, but I still want to be a part of this. please don't cancel me.

 

My rule is two sessions behind. You’re only one behind so you’re ok

Silversteinn - This is How the Wind Shifts

This is How the Wind Shifts is a disjointed concept album from Canadian post-hardcore vets Silverstein that narrowly accomplishes being greater than its parts. The story follows a few characters as they process the loss of love or identity. Though the band are no stranger to crafting catchy hooks to tales of melodramatic romance, Told and company manage to communicate the greater themes of the album best when focusing on the existential. It’s no surprise then that songs like “Massachusetts” and “A Better Place” play like standard fare from the band. To their credit however, these tracks of hyper-hormone yearning are the most purely refined versions of this recycled framework present throughout their career. Though, the extra weight behind these songs can be attributed to their connection to the greater thematic narrative the band is urgently trying to achieve with this record.

In delightful contrast to the more juvenile side of the record is an outstanding, meditative parable on self-doubt and identity. “Stand Amid the Roar”, the album’s thunderous opener, sets the stage for this theme in its lilting tone and subject manner. By evoking the image of the persistence and unpredictability of wind, Told anguishes about the difficulty of keeping true to oneself in the face of seemingly invisible forces. It’s an especially competent metaphor that’s built upon throughout the rest of the record. This theme continues into “On Brave Mountain We Conquer” , where his resolve is challenged with all forces of nature before, climaxing at “In the Place of Solace” - one of the album’s best tracks. Here he laments that no one grieves him, borrowing from the soundscapes of Defeater and Touche Amore.

When viewed with respect to the more mature core of the record, the albums’ other stories of a love lost to death and infidelity are elevated. It quickly becomes apparent that the “winds” Silverstein emphatically wants us to be aware of are the influences other people have over us. This idea is plain in “In A Place of Solace” but is referenced more artfully in “The Wind Shifts” and the album’s closing track “Departures”.

This is How the Wind Shifts plays like the album of a band who is reaching for greatness, certainly capable but unable yet to let go of what’s expected of them. Still, somewhat paradoxically, the record is a resounding example of the quintessential punk sentiment to be true to oneself.

 

Definitely curious what you're going to give me

 

what do you feel like this week?
