No joke, Sabrina should still be on top

Short and sweet is a masterpiece of an album

Nobody should take her thrown

[cedar delta]

It was just modern pop slop to me

Id much rather listen to a smaller artist who puts more effort in

Doesnt have to be smaller but big pop artist always seem so stale

[south mauve]

I really wanna promote a certain band and album rn but I feel like I´m starting to annoy people with it lmao

[river turtle]

If it's the certain band and album that I think it is... GO FOR IT!

[south mauve]

well I mean the museum of failure recently opened doors, presenting the piece "I Dont Want To See You in Heaven" by The Callous Daoboys as a milestone in genrefusion metal- and mathcore presenting a highly gripping and emotionally investing piece of music

[river turtle]

True! An interesting look into the abstract nature of human desire and failure, pure embarrassing failure.

[open sapphire]

😁 👆 now I feel less afraid admitting I fw short n sweet

Behold, a wall of text

Even In Arcadia - ranked

1. Even In Arcadia
   -- 10/10; literally obsessed, especially with the cello towards the end (Pls don't murder me if it's not a cello; I have very poor knowledge of string instruments 😅)
2. Damocles
   -- 9.5/10; favourite of the singles, great lyrics & song in general (fav lyrics of the album)
3. Emergence
   -- 9/10; second favourite single, great song again
4. Caramel
   -- 8.5/10; such an earworm tbh, love it
5. Dangerous
   -- 7.5/10; sounds huge, really good instrumentals
6. Infinite Baths
   -- 6.5 or 7/10 I guess? Kinda hard to rate and I don't even know why... It's a good song tho. Switch up/breakdown goes hard.
7. Past Self
   -- 6/10; instrumentally kinda boring tbh but I still like it
8. Gethsemane
   Impossible to rate lyrically for me tbh... Lyrics are very vulnerable and seem to not be about Vessel and Sleep, but about the person behind the mask & a past relationship he had.
   I really like the song, but there's not gonna be an X/10 for this one lyrically. The instrumentals are a 7/10.
9. Look To Windward
   -- 5.5/10; Those first 2 minutes man... They ruin this song fr. (at least for me) Becomes a 7/10 if I skip said 2 minutes tho.
10. aka: the abomination that is Provider
    -- 0/10 lyrically; What are these vocals (in the beginning) and the lyrics man?? They're just SO bad... 🥲 Instrumental is kinda good tho.

Overall final rating: a weak(er) 5/10
This just doesn't feel like an album to me. It seems more like a singles collection because of the lack of cohesiveness. 🤷‍♀️
(As you can see, I rated about half the songs rather high/good because individually, they just are good. But imho don't work in an album context.)

Sleep token is teasing some crazy shit

Darius is the only liked comment on this post

Sleep token and spite collab possible?

[sharp kernel]

that feels pretty random but its a welcome surprise

[covert juniper]

I doubt

prob live performance teasee

[kindred salmon]

or tour with spite as support

[dire furnace]

Still insane tho tbf

IMO sleep token strayed far, far, far away from metal this new album

So like why is one of the best metal vocalists alive playing with them

Also they’ve already announced a ton of tours this year didn’t they?

[open sapphire]

bro is sleep token ever gonna collab

it doesnt sound like em tbh

they did cover loathe ig

but

🤷

[south mauve]

Bro imagine Spite and Sleep Token on the same tour. Supporting a band like ST as a band as heavy as Spite must be fkin hard because you just know that most of the people in these big arenas aint gonna vibe with you

[kindred salmon]

Was send a day prior to the release and only just in, i love brexit

[lone whale]

That shirt is gorgeous, damn ❤️

[kindred salmon]

true, it's beautiful, while the album has split opinions, i think everyone can agree that the design is pretty top notch (though sadly no backside)

[covert juniper]

So this is huge

Sleep Token has submitted for the Grammys next year

They are in the running for the following awards:

Best New Album, with Even In Arcadia

Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Rock Performance, and Best Rock Song, with Caramel,

Best Metal Performance, with Emergence

[river turtle]

Have they announced anybody ELSE for Grammy consideration?

[covert juniper]

This is just for nomination

[shadow zodiac]

Even in Mid

there is a cadia

[hard steeple]

So has psycho frame

[hard steeple]

Caramel sucks tho

Bruh

At least do infinite baths

[frank lodge]

I still go back to damocles and emergence a ton but that's about it

[river turtle]

Honestly, Take Me Back to Eden would've been more deserving of Grammy consideration

[south mauve]

Hard agree

[hard steeple]

True

Billion times better album

[near vortex]

Calling this album mid is a compliment Slop Talkin' can't afford to accept

[shadow zodiac]

The one song I really like had to be ruined by the band because they couldn't just fucking end it properly

they had to be "experimental" and "cool" which made the song closing out feel so shit because Vessel had to fucking rap

[near vortex]

You just don't get the genius of their genre switching, dude!

🥸

[shadow zodiac]

Out of all the bands who do genre switching

Sleep Token is the poorest example

How the fuck can a band from the 60s pull it off effortlessly and this band struggles 💀

Vessel needs to stop the rapping

that's all imma say

[near vortex]

The thing is rapping itself is OK but he's so fucking bad at it bruh

[shadow zodiac]

Gethsemane could've been so fucking peak

then Vessel happened

[near vortex]

And it brings literally nothing to his songs, furthermore, it makes them lesser

[shadow zodiac]

If vessel was good at rapping I wouldn't be bitching all too much

but he needs to learn

[south mauve]

YES. THIS, SO MUCH THIS

[river turtle]

Genre switching is much more peak when it's done by a mathcore band

[south mauve]

ngl I remember listening to Emergence and immediately my interest in the album was dead once he started that rnb rap type shit

[south mauve]

close enough, I´ll take that as a DAOBOYS MENTION 🗣️

[fossil halo]

brother this shit is nominated for a grammy?

[near vortex]

I'm not really following Grammy at all but isn't it already turned to basically nominating most safe and basic pop?

[south mauve]

Remember, thus far it's only for Grammy Nomination

[dire furnace]

Isn’t this Grammy consideration, not nomination?

Basically didn’t they pay to be considered for the Grammies? Is that what it’s about?

[south mauve]

Yeah , that's what I meant, unfortunately worded on my part

It's like "Hey Grammy's, here's our stuff, pleeeeeease nominate us 👉 👈"

[lusty talon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNZoM3JEjgo

holy shit granny 😭

[steep flax]

finally checked this out

was aight

[south mauve]

Oh shi I forgot this even came out lmao

[steep flax]

yea ik I’m late to everything

moving on to fallujah

[cedar delta]

Album kinda just sucks imo

Genre blend just didnt work here at all

I still stand by my 2/10 rating

Take me back to eden is so much better in every aspect

[south mauve]

Full agree

[cedar delta]

It all feels so forced

Doesn't feel like they truly cared to go into all of the different genres

Its all so surface level low effort genre blending

Daoboys mog them

[steep flax]

I literally don’t know anything about this band other than that Will Ramos loves a couple of the older albums. Kinda the only reason I’m inclined to check out their older stuff at all

[south mauve]

First three albums, while each different from one another are actually pretty good. Like...not metal in the slightest but I enjoy them quite a bit, especially This Place Will Become Your Tomb. However it is very much not for everyone

[hard steeple]

Not a big fan of this album either but your notes on gethsemane and infinite baths are just blatantly incorrect

You also called the literal worst track on the album gorgeous

Then you called the second worst track the best one

What on earth

Damocles and caramel are the worst songs sleep token have ever put out in their entire career

[steep flax]

gee, almost as if it’s subjective.

cry about it

[hard steeple]

No shit sherlock

[steep flax]

I don’t mind that it’s not metal. The piano and melody throughout Damocles was one of the few saving graces this whole album had.

the genres themselves are all fine, but just slapping them together with nothing to make them cohesive just sucks out everything that makes the genres themselves great, so I’m just left being bored most of the time when it’s just slow and dragging.

[shadow zodiac]

The rapping ruined the whole song for me

It could've had the most perfect ending

But vessel just couldnt shut the fuck up

[hard steeple]

Damocles makes me wanna rupture my eardrums

[shadow zodiac]

*this is for gethsemane

I should clarified sorry

[hard steeple]

Gethsemane is one of the few good tracks lol

[shadow zodiac]

It was so good then the last half came on

[kindred salmon]

Worst by far still is provider

[shadow zodiac]

I cant stand the rap sections

Idk what the fuck vessel was doing

[shadow zodiac]

This

[hard steeple]

The title track, look to windward, gethesmane and infinite baths are the only good songs on it

But i would still listen to provider 50 times over damocles imma be real

[shadow zodiac]

If gethsemane didnt have the rap, it would be my all-time favorite st song

But that title still goes to The Apparition

[hard steeple]

?

How

[shadow zodiac]

It does what I wanted them to do with the sadder stuff

And is a good vibe for me

[hard steeple]

have you never listened to vore, tmbte title track, ascensionism, higher, atlantic, alkaline or hypnosis

Even thread the needle

[shadow zodiac]

Vore is my 2nd favorite

Alkaline is my 3rd

[hard steeple]

I would consider all of those tracks better than apparition personally

[shadow zodiac]

I get that

Apparition fit a lot of boxes for me with the sadder-toned stuff

But nothing will ever top Part Islands by Latitudes

That whole album is beautiful and easily mogs all of sleep tokens sadder stuff

[hard steeple]

Idk i don’t really see apparition as a very sad track

[shadow zodiac]

Not their saddest track but it got me in the feels

[hard steeple]

One of the groovier songs on the record if anything

Ascensionism, tmbte title track and atlantic are the 3 i’d consider genuinely sad

[kindred salmon]

That one goes to either love you want or ascensionism

[hard steeple]

The atlantic slander is crazy

[kindred salmon]

How is atlantic sad

[hard steeple]

?

Is that a joke

[kindred salmon]

Or atleast, saddest

[hard steeple]

it’s like, far and away the saddest melody and lyrics in their entire discog

Idk how anyone can listen to that and not think it’s sad

[kindred salmon]

Subjective

[hard steeple]

Why are we once again pointing out the obvious

do i need to put imo after every message

[kindred salmon]

It's beautiful and melancholic, but saddest though?

[kindred salmon]

Fuck it, why not

[hard steeple]

No

People should be able to pick up on the most basic of implications

[cedar delta]

Atlantic is the best sleep token song

[shadow zodiac]

I mean... lyrically it is pretty sad, but musically it is pretty uplifting

I wouldn't call it there saddest stuff but it is pretty good for what it is

[south mauve]

bro knows ball, I´m familiar with your game and you continue to prove it

Apparition PEAK 🗣️

[civic notch]

Underrated and overhated

[civic notch]

Apparition is peak

Probably my favorite ST song

[cedar delta]

Certainly not underrated

[fossil halo]

how the hell is this underrated

[civic notch]

I mean in more dedicated musical circles like RYM and such

Not in terms of general music listeners

[cedar delta]

Never heard of that before

[fossil halo]

even in those caterogies i dont get how it's underrated

nothing about this album is special

[cedar delta]

Typically when you say underrated its about the size of the band lol not music circles or whatever

[civic notch]

Ye I probably should have been more clear about that mb

[civic notch]

https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/sleep-token/even-in-arcadia/

Average rating on RYM for reference

[fossil halo]

the rating is very generous lol

basically 4/10

my rating is half that

[civic notch]

I love alt-pop/alt metal blends so my rating was a lot higher

[cedar delta]

2/10 album for me and i actually like alt stuff

But this just didn't work for me

[cedar delta]

No worries

[civic notch]

Only thing I do wish Sleep Token would improve is their mixes; the guitars could use more room to breathe

[vague jackal]

I think 4/10 is fair, still better than vianova

[fossil halo]

not as bad as president

[civic notch]

I dig the instrumentals in President well enough, but the low pass filter they have over Charlie's clean vocals is kind of grating sometimes

[near vortex]

I'm gonna fucking murder you

Violently and disgustingly

[hard steeple]

Saying this while having dogshit as a pfp is crazy

[near vortex]

Ok now you're an even worse kind of evil here

Untouched by the grace of god, unholy and faithless husk of a man

[hard steeple]

I have said currents is trash for the last 2 years i’ve been here

This is nothing new

[near vortex]

Life-long ragebait

[hard steeple]

It’s not ragebait it’s just true

Most boring band i can think of

[near vortex]

Your sinful lies are nothing new, yes

[kindred salmon]

You clearly haven't heard wage war then

[cedar delta]

Old wage war was cool

[sharp kernel]

do memphis may fire not make the same song for a whole album

[south mauve]

I just need one more album like Blueprints from them, istg....

[winged pumice]

blueprints and deadweight are both peak, pressure is awful, manic is better than people give it credit for, and stigma is also decent but not great

[steep flax]

I agree with the 4/10 on this but I think vianova was at least around 7

and I still haven’t heard anything from ww past deadweight yet, lmao

[fallen rose]

i remembered a meme i made

for aoty discussions

[steep flax]

oh and yea callous daoboys does mog both this and vianova ngl

[sharp kernel]

swap lorna and sleep token

[steep flax]

0/10 ragebait

better luck next time

[fallen rose]

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-friends-dab-dab-me-up-super-monkey-ball-mr-boss-gif-11903531005687623995

[hard steeple]

Ngl i agree

Lorna album fuckin sucks

[fallen rose]

Ok the bits old

[hard steeple]

He thinks i’m joking

[fallen rose]

Im too sick to debunk your claim

[sharp kernel]

bro is seriously replying to obvious bait

☹️

internet is over

pack it up guys

[fallen rose]

i knew it was bait when i said this

[sharp kernel]

no i meant

rei replying to my message

[fallen rose]

oh

[sharp kernel]

bro was agreeing with the bait

[hard steeple]

Yeah i do

It’s true

I genuinely wholeheartedly think that lorna album was a fuckin snoozefest

[near vortex]

You're still getting hard clapped for Currents tho

[hard steeple]

that one also sucks

for the same exact reason

[kindred salmon]

Logic for me is always if rei hates it, i'd love it. Same goes with the black of imminence, still one of my favorite albums of past few years

[fallen rose]

idk to me

1. if i said that, it would 100% be ragebait
2. that take is so easily debunkable, if i explained why its wrong and they still keep it up, then i know its bait

so that leaves me to the conclusion that its bait

[steep flax]

baitception

[fallen rose]

also, idk if im making a reach or a wrong claim, but i found the "___ is subjective" to be a nothing burger of a claim

there are some opinions that should in theory just be culturally shared
examples could be the shaggs being a horrible band, or feel good inc being an amazing song

[kindred salmon]

you'd think it would be like that, but i also found someone in another server that dragged me for calling provider trash

so sometimes the glacing makes blindsighted too

[steep flax]

idk man I once said I found Chris Barnes’ vocals on the first cc albums to be funny, and everyone hit me with “they’re funny now but not back in the 90s” as if I was trying to insult it but I wasn’t, I just thought corpsegrinders vocals sounded more serious, lol

[fallen rose]

unrelated but i have no idea how six feet under has genuine fans 😭

[lethal current]

Swap ST and Spiritbox

[fallen rose]

im going to unalive you

thats gotta be sexist

[lethal current]

How is that sexist, I love Spiritbox, I just didn't like that album

If anything it was just forgettable

[south mauve]

I´ll get the shovel, I´m in

[lethal current]

I listened to it twice only

[south mauve]

new Spiritbox didnt really stick with me either but insinuating that it is somehow worse than ST has got to be a criminal offense; quite possibly war crime level

[lethal current]

Sleep Token's album was great

[south mauve]

👆 me when I lie

[south mauve]

I have no idea what I´m looking at, all I know is that I see 4 albums, one of which is peak, two of which I dont know and a fourth which is ST

[fallen rose]

i wasnt being serious lol

[lethal current]

Has bro ever heard of /j (/j)

[kindred salmon]

i'll get the bodybag

i'm in

[vague jackal]

swap ST with actually nvm ST is good there

[kindred salmon]

93 is insane basically saying provider is atleast a 3 if everything else is a 10

[vague jackal]

I was wayy too generous with my 6/10, its realistically 4/10 lol

[lethal current]

It's fallen on me quite a bit since, that was off 3rd listen

[kindred salmon]

interesting

for me it's the opposite, i liked it at first and then hated it more and more the more i listened to it

[lethal current]

Never hated it but otherwise definitely got worse for me, Around an 8 for me now

[lone whale]

Provider is the fucking worst ST song ever. Whoever let Vessel run with it needs to be fired or smth, idk

[fallen rose]

They’re all ahh

[lone whale]

What?

[fossil halo]

they're all ass

[lone whale]

nah

But to each their own

[fossil halo]

curious, what makes a song like Caramel good

[kindred salmon]

it's raggaeton but good

and also like the musicbox vibe of it

[fossil halo]

wow that's an awful take LOL

implying that reggaeton isnt good

doesnt even explain how the song itself is good

[lone whale]

I mean, it's not their best song, but absolutely a lot better than Provider lol

[fossil halo]

not what i asked

[lone whale]

the chorus is insanely catchy for example

[kindred salmon]

i mean, you'd argue it is?

[fossil halo]

the melody in the chorus is insanely annoying and "stick to me like caramel" is the most corny shit

[fossil halo]

yeah ive not heard reggaeton i dont like lol

it's a good time

well, unless we count Caramel

i dont, personally

because it isnt reggaeton, it's alt pop

[kindred salmon]

the melody is subjective, cause personally i do really like the melody and ye it is very corny, but i mean it's sleep token, this is still tame

[fossil halo]

"it's corny but it's sleep token" makes no sense

[lone whale]

even tho I assume you don't really care about it: That's a callout to all the crazy fans who have the weirdest parasocial relationship with the band and, primarily, Vessel

[fossil halo]

i understand what the song is about

that doesnt make it any less corny

the lyricism in this record is genuinely awful

[lone whale]

if that's your opinion, I can respect that

[fossil halo]

the only song i almost liked was Gethsemane but it was ruined by Vessel adding an extra 2 minutes of his shitty autotune rapping over a trap beat

which is one of my largest gripes with the record lol

[lethal current]

Ah yes, Gethsemane, corny /j

[fossil halo]

hey i enjoy corny shit dont get me wrong

but i enjoy corny shit when the music is actually good

if sleep token actually put those custom 8 strings to good use id probably like them more

but the furthest they go with it is random djent riff with 3 notes, maybe 4

and even then that shit is just boring

[steep flax]

I did not read the lyrics at all, only thing I liked a lot of caramel was the second half of it

[fossil halo]

yeah it'd be nice if st actually committed to one genre and honed in on it, or at least not make the genre blending insanely boring. ive said it before ill say it again Daoboys did genre blending the absolute best

[kindred salmon]

i think it's just more direct since the whole album is about his relationship with the fans and the popularity and how to cope and criticize with it in a way. whereas the previous 3 was more about a concept of someone to love and the toxicity that comes with it. the album imo has just a less interesting topic because it wants to play around with a direct topic instead of a concept

[fossil halo]

i dont care about what the point of the lyrics are

the writing is terrible

[kindred salmon]

but those 2 reflect eachother though

[steep flax]

bands that don’t commit to anything at all just have 0 personality to me

[fossil halo]

But you been hittin' my phone so hard
I found it breathin' through a tube in the ICU
there is no excuse for this lol

[kindred salmon]

wait from which track

[fossil halo]

id agree if there werent bands that didnt do it correctly

[fossil halo]

Provider

[kindred salmon]

damn, another reason to hate provider, insane

[fossil halo]

yes because this level of corniness is nowhere present on the rest of the album

im just glad everyone is in agreement with provider lol

it's still not the worst song of the year

not even close

i feel that really says something

there has been a lot of awful garbage this year

[kindred salmon]

also gethsemane with the ''you didn't even see me naked'' line

but that one gets praised because of the mathcore part

[fossil halo]

exactly lol

mathcore?

[kindred salmon]

curious which

[fossil halo]

there's nothing mathy about the song LOL

[fossil halo]

probably All My Women by FIR

[kindred salmon]

oh ye

[steep flax]

I turned that shit off a minute in

[fossil halo]

yeah no that song legitimately angered me

[lethal current]

Slipping Through - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

[lethal current]

My dad had 26 plays on it, his excuse was the divorce lol

[fossil halo]

well

fir is usually considered divorced dad music

ive yet to see that not be true...

[lethal current]

Never thought of though lol

[kindred salmon]

i think mine would be vana - pray

[lethal current]

Oh that song sucks too

[fossil halo]

new a7x also fucking sucks so hard

if you like libad you probably wont mind but i HATED libad

[lethal current]

Not bothering to listen, they can ruin their legacy on their own

[lethal current]

Nobody was good, but I have literally no opinion on the rest of it, it's just forgettable

[kindred salmon]

still need to fully hear it, but i heard that ppl that even loved LIBAD (of which i'm one of) hated it

[fallen rose]

I feel like sleep token and co worker music as a whole being good has been disproven over and over

[lethal current]

Ah yes, Sleep Token, coworker music.

[fallen rose]

It is

[lone whale]

wtf is coworker music?

[fallen rose]

Music enjoyed primarily by co workers and the music tends to be low quality

[lone whale]

I'm either too old or not chronically online enough to know all these terms lol

[lone whale]

and that's a genre now or what?

[lethal current]

Coworker music is supposed to be music so universal and bland that anyone can understand it and comprehend it, even your dumbass coworker, for example, Morgan Wallen and Dua Lipa

[lone whale]

who and who?

[lethal current]

Rasict country musician and bland pop artist who steals melodies

[lone whale]

ah, so I miss nothing by not knowing them, nice :D

[steep flax]

didn’t know he was racist huh

[lethal current]

There's footage of calling someone a "||pussy ass n*****||"

[steep flax]

yep, not missing anything

[kindred salmon]

you forgot the detail that is usually they really come up to you and saying ''you gotta listen to this, i just discovered this band/artist/etc'' and it's just ass or mainstream

[lone whale]

that's a biiig oof

[kindred salmon]

like someone showing you stp or fir and saying it's the heaviest metal they heard and that they're cool cause it's anti woke

[steep flax]

avg tom macdonald lover (idk never heard him don’t plan to, lol)

[lethal current]

That and his response was pretty much:
"sorry" runs to collaborate with every b-tier rapper ever to validate himself

[kindred salmon]

worm voice reveal

[fallen rose]

Yeah i didnt feel like typing it all out

[kindred salmon]

what's wrong with ink and bbno$

[fallen rose]

I feel like those are co workers artists tbh

[lone whale]

what a piece of shit, wow

[kindred salmon]

okaay ye that's funny af, deathcore shirt and then saying ST and comparing evanescence with imagine dragons is wild

[steep flax]

what’s bbnos

[kindred salmon]

rap

[lethal current]

"Did I really just forget that melody"

[kindred salmon]

ink i'm on the fence with, but bbno$ i can see

[steep flax]

yea idk them

[kindred salmon]

also funny you say those two, cause friday i went to ink and next year may i'll go to bbno$

[fallen rose]

You may be a co worker

[kindred salmon]

i'd hope so, hard to work in a company alone

[fallen rose]

It basically refers to the sterotype that coworkers tend to be out of the loop with media and tend to only know whats popular mainly because they’re npcs

[kindred salmon]

but ye, sometimes i do play coworker music to cater to the people around me. but it can go a lot of directions

[fallen rose]

Ai music 🤢

[steep flax]

I’m kinda the opposite ngl I can know some deathcore or dubstep or electronic artist with just a few k listeners but I’m mostly clueless on the new pop music out there

[lone whale]

ah yes, ofc nods knowingly

not mocking you btw

I'm just definitely out of the loop with all the recent slang lol

[kindred salmon]

even have a whole playlist https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLX7L__SIbB5vv1CdZpU0fnDWspFRzLZgT&si=PUhsgssYiLhXfrAC

which come to think of it, could also have some ST in it

[fallen rose]

Yeah this all makes sense

Co workers dont yearn for anything deeper than what’s widely accessible, according to coworker theory

Co workers dont really feel the urge to find lesser known bands the way real people like you and i do

[kindred salmon]

and if they do, it's in different genres

[steep flax]

^ usually happens to be some old school classic rock thing

[fallen rose]

Ive also noticed these… coworkers… are very out of the loop with current events

[steep flax]

could it either be that or they’re scared of hr cancelling them?

[fallen rose]

I think they’re spawns of HR

They werent given much more information on how to be human besides what HR has trained them to do

[lethal current]

What the fuck
System of a Down, Linkin Park, Twenty One Pilots, Gorillaz, Evanescence, Kendrick Lamar, Daft Punk , Tears for Fears, and Gotye on a coworker music playlist??!

[kindred salmon]

on all of them, absolutely

most of them are surface level music

[fallen rose]

These all have over a million monthly listeners on Spotify

[lethal current]

Oh ok so coworker music means any music that isn't post rock, got it

[kindred salmon]

?

[fallen rose]

What

Co worker music isnt a serious genre label

[kindred salmon]

indeed, it's just music that your coworker either shows and thinks is tough or just knows in general

like i ain't gonna put synestia or whitechapel in this list

(eventhough i do sometimes play it at work if i feel like it)

[fallen rose]

Dude one time i played sws at the front desk and i was told to turn it off cuz people might be offended

Fucking sleeping with sirens

[kindred salmon]

lmao

[lethal current]

Sleeping with Sirens?! The Kellin Quinn band? Offensive? Lol

[fallen rose]

Yes

[lethal current]

That's insane

[kindred salmon]

maybe it's also a thing that i usually just work with 3 people in the lab and only more if a colleague is doing something with us or our manager comes downstairs

[hard steeple]

If you think liking the new lorna shore album is something that has to be culturally shared you are literally fuckin delusional

the general reception of that album is that it’s derivative and mid even among lorna fans

you’re completely lost in the sauce

[fallen rose]

Insane considering the and i return to nothingness ep was an absolute snooze fest of an ep

[hard steeple]

And this was still worse

That’s crazy

[last sleet]

Imo the lorna album was straight buns

[hard steeple]

You’re not allowed to think that, lorna shore opinions are culturally shared sorry

[last sleet]

Mb

[fallen rose]

Now you get it

[last sleet]

I thought Rei was a chill person, mainly i've been talking to him about how much Lorna Shore actually sucks and suddenly now seeing him acting like an actual fucking manchild

[hard steeple]

I thought rpp203 was a chill person, mainly i've been talking to him about motorsports and suddenly now seeing him acting like an actual fucking manchild

[fringe sand]

[fringe sand]

Isn't coworker music supposed to just be bad music?

Or am I wrong?

[last sleet]

Just generic shit thats popular

E.g. taylor swift, sabrina carpenter, etc

[fringe sand]

In that case why is chop suey on the list. That song is the opposite of generic

[last sleet]

Eh couldve worded it slightly better, generic and or popular

[hard steeple]

My coworker loves soad lol

[fringe sand]

So basically all music thats popular?
Im confused

||how do I feel so old when im 22 wtf||

[hard steeple]

Music you’d feel comfortable playing at a work gathering/party without getting tons of looks

Is coworker music

[fallen rose]

How do we tell em

[last sleet]

If they've got more than 100 listeners then I dont want it 🗣️

[fallen rose]

I love soad so much but they’re pretty popular

Great band though

Co worker music isnt inherently a bad label

[fringe sand]

So coworker music is just popular music?

[fallen rose]

Yeah basically

[fringe sand]

Thats stupid

[fallen rose]

It pokes at the stereotype that co workers tend to like popular media without feeling the need to indulge in anything thats not super accessible, its not a serious term lol
