Yeah the lyrics are really good

Reverse chronological order pt 1 has really been getting me the last couple of days

i haven't stopped being able to listen to reverse chronological order pt 1 since i realized it sounds like standing outside a broken phone booth

also i like imagining brenda and eddie from the reverse chronological series being becky and steven from twin peaks season 3

also also i love that there's a hot couch line on pt 2:

remember when eddie was giving her plenty
of reasons to wish he was gone?
asleep on the couch with some lines he'd cut out
and the TV still on.
a flickering light that persists through the night, and an audible hum
ocarina of time droning endlessly on from the dusk until dawn.

AND AT THE END WHEN THIS HAS COST YOU EVERYTHING
WELL I'LL BE CHEERING FROM THE CHEAP SEATS AS THEY DROP THE GUILLOTINE

is such a killer breakup burn

by **Beautiful Jugdish** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 11:45 am

im legit angry about an album not getting BNM lol

by **oh! it's max!** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 12:39 pm

black pill skyline as been on repeat. definitely wanna echo that the lyrics on this album are really great

bit of a return to form

by **mego** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 3:25 pm

good review by P4k. it's right about his use of breakbeats... totally not my thing at all which explains why i can't get into it.

if he didn't clear samples then he's not going to put it on spotify

by **nicecatbutchicken** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 3:27 pm

in particular, this keeps reminding me of certain moments on the EG opening ceremony mix. musically i don't hear a lot of new ground covered but it seems more polished slash laboured over than the previous DG releases. i'm a happy boy.

yeah i had the passing thought that the taylor cover in particular might be keeping him from promoting this in a more high profile way

by **alaska** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 3:53 pm

idk on the other hand it seems like jb has p good reasons for wanting to stay out of the spotlight a bit, which i respect, given that the music press is essentially a machine for generating cults of personality

by **alaska** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 3:56 pm

it's def true that material benefits are 100% justified though. this album is maybe the most affecting thing i've heard or seen about the opioid crisis yet. it's a bummer idk

by **ASH NERVE** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 4:24 pm

i really don't get any vibe that he has music industry aspirations anymore besides making music he likes and releasing it

which i think is pretty cool tbh

by **alaska** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 4:26 pm

yeah it's definitely a really really reasonable response to how fucked everything is imo

by **alaska** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 4:27 pm

in the q&as too it's implied that some of the decisions that made this record unique (like the pitch shifted vocals) were made after deciding there was no reason to try to make money

by **nicecatbutchicken** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 4:50 pm

<3 < 3 vietato calpestare i prati <3 <3

by **Beautiful Jugdish** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 4:54 pm

brooks material without breakbeats would be sacrilege

by **ASH NERVE** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 5:45 pm

i've just received a transmission from my spiritual leader, the mother of all music, Qveen Herby. she says.....well, this is most unusual.....she says breakbeats are hereafter to be referred to as "brooksbeats". unexpected surprise for today but i think it's in our interest to incorporate this into our vocabulary at once, or else the harvest will be disappointing again this year.

by **Althea** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 8:06 pm

The beatz are essential IMO but I could also totally go for an ambient/beatless version as an extra, like a Ruin 2 sorta thing.

by **Ferrous Bueller** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 8:49 pm

I dunno if I like this more than the last one, but heart emoji xo is really good

by **new blood,** » Wed Feb 13, 2019 9:06 pm

when i live in korea sometimes i would wear my ruin t shirt
i think he has mentioned in interviews that it's a bad translation, but basically no one ever knew what that word meant and would look it up and be like.... yeah your shirt doesnt make sense man
