The Dismemberment Plan Band • Page 10

I can agree with that. Both albums are messy balls of emotions, which is humanity in a nutshell.

 

I can definitely see the similarities but I like IARB considerably more than either of those.

 

yea, w the added element of BRAINS, which is sensible life

you have all this shit, but what matters is what you do with it

think but do not overdoit too

 

I revisited IARB and I really really love it, but E&I and TUO take the edge for me. I think E&I is a little more musically interesting and TUO is more brutally honest and lyrically ambitious. But IARB is a really good melding of a lot of things. It's weird to think it was to be a musical.

 

lol tuo is borderline uncomfortable to listen to w/r/t lyrics sometimes imo

 

yeah well.. art haha

 

Honestly it just comes down to me liking the songs a lot more on IARB. I can relate and get more out of those lyrics despite the other two being very well written. I think the vocals hold E&I back a lot for me, I much prefer the vocal style of the other two which do genuinely sound like musical's at times, ha. I can definitely see how IARB was heading in that direction. I can see what would make people prefer the other two though.

 

Blame me for that, haha. I take most credit for how talked about this band has become
Also feel bad about some people who tried similarly to get some older acts talked about, haha

 

Yeah there are some questionable lines for sure but for the most part it's great

 

I don't think that excuses some of the bad/sexist lines on any of the aforementioned albums though

 

it's a shame, but that's life too, dealing with the shit - you can't silence the shit, you process it

 

Just listened to TUO and I'm listening to E&I now and I'm still kind of in the same place with them where I really like what they're doing as a whole and I like most of the songs but there's only really a handful on each that I love.

 

Kind of how I feel about IARB haha. But hey, to each their own.

We'll always have The Black Parade

 

and The Smiths. Both bands full of dark humour, ha.

 

True true true.

I listened to my Meat Is Murder vinyl yesterday and it was fucking dope

 

I don't have any Smiths vinyl. :( I've been asking for some for god damn ages.

 

I found MIM at some dinky record shop in Charlotte and was so stoked to find it but it cost me like $40

 

They actually have them all for cheap near me I just rarely buy shit atm because I haven't started my job yet. I found Clarity on CD in a charity shop for 99p the other day though, ha.

 

Nice. Man, I haven't spun Clarity in a hot minute. But it's still brilliant ofc

 

I've been listening to it a lot, ha. JEW have been my go to band for a little while now. Also have you heard the new Sianvar album? I figure you'd probably enjoy it since you're a Circa/AG fan.

 

I haven't but I'll definitely check it out

 

Hey now. Ya best not be talking about Lunchbox.

 

No no no it was Lunchbox haha. Can't remember the name of it. It was very very small

 

I've had The Ugly Organ saved to my ipod for a couple of years now and the only reason I haven't listened is because I wanted to listen to Domestica first. I also heard it got a remaster or something and I'm pretty sure mine is the original and I've no idea if that makes a difference, haha.
SO I think I've been listening to Emergency & I every day since the first time. I love it so much that I've just been listening to a lot more things that are either new to me or that I was sort of neglecting in digesting all the way to see if maybe they'd hit me harder in the wake of this (EndSerenading and Diary have both benefited from this exercise).

 

The remaster doesn't sound that much different tbh
