Arid, devoid of feelings and sensations. A drooling and pulsating being that perpetuates the game of life more wearily each day. This is how I have felt for a while now, and I have been searching for something that could ease my despondent state of mind, something that would claw at a dead brain and drag it out with bites to bring it closer to reality. This album is festering with all the repressed will to live of the 21st century. It is an anthem, a manifesto for the generations that rot alone in their own hell made of the most atrocious indifference.
Themes such as apathy, the desire not to grow up, the overwhelming inputs from technological stupor, and the awareness of time as the greatest universal injustice run through the 11 shards of this diseased album.
Post-hardcore has never better embodied the malaise of living in today's world. Like their peers Cloud Nothings (also a great album here and nowhere else), they present us with a bleak picture: there are no alternatives, no way out, life is that dirty illusion you are living, and you won't live any better ones. Resignedly, even this music can't do a damn thing about it.
“there’s gotta be a better way, but I just can’t say what it’ll make it ok, if I had just one wish, I wish for this, I wish for justice”
