Reply to comment by Gozis in Mindfuck music by Equivalent_Mix_3829

I've listened to BtTIGtP before as a result of the same question by another person. I have my understanding of why I consider it this way but the album is very complex and has layers beyond mindfuck etc. solely. Why do you consider it such?

I'm not sure an album has ever "mindfucked" me, but I could see this album doing it to someone. Interesting methodolgy behind it, obviously a strange nd somewhat off-putting sound palette, lyrics that dance around issues nd themes with a lot of irony and dry humor... Not sure this makes sense even, the album made me feel a lot but I guess I rarely feel the need to think about why or whatever

Thanks for your reply. I personally think the album mind fucked me when I started listening to it after the rec. I had listened to and loved it a lot before but when the first track comes on and he just starts speaking to you I took it on a road that lead me to believing it to be about revolution. It assumed you already understood everything they were going to say was given fact. Listened to it again recently and it sounds like that still but then blurs towards the end into it being about addiction and that (possibly) being the end of their band mate. (still havent looked too seriously for that info but thats what knees sounds like it talks about)

​

This also could also mean that they too hear the message of revolution in music these days but often see people around them high on weed or drunk not really getting the message and killing themselves instead of actually gathering and doing anything. idk, just thought of that but maybe that idea could pan out idk. lol anyways if you read this thanks for partaking in my theories.

​

edit:

the instrumentation alone on this album being as cold and calculated as it is might just be enough to mind fuck some people. i know superman that was really hard for me to get into at first because of its angular and disjointed arrangement
