If it makes ya feel better they said on their twitter that brand new reference purpose was too shit on the BN fan base and how people still defend him.
anyone check out the 3776 album? this thing is soooooo fucking wild (and not at all emo, but im sure people here till like it)
(i had to find an illegal DL on KL to obtain it). The album goes through every day of the year (each song being 1 year, and every twelve seconds equating to a single day). It's an incredibly mathematical concept for an album and executes on it pretty flawlessly. Sonically it transitions a lot from Japanese folk to JPOP to post rock to rap (its really all over the place) but ends up feeling very cohesive. Its a concept album thru and thru so might not be for everyone but it is certainly ambitious and worth a checkout.
listening through the new macseal album rn - love it. reminds me of early 2000s emo pop punk type stuff minus the misogyny. think further seems forever, Northstar, and things that sound like those two bands or something yo what the fuck honestly I can't think of any off the top of my head
