meanwhile for me it's just normal, in japan and other asian countries when you're remotely sick you're told to wear a mask, out of respect for others around you. this is also because of the cramped nature of modern japanese streets and trains, where a lot of people are huddled around

@TrinityRourke 4 года назад

listening to this band when you are depressed is so fucking different than when youre not. Idk how to explain it. But I'd relate it to watering plants when they are first planted, compared to when they are first starting to grow and bloom. At first I was just excited and didn't know what to expect, but now that I've seen the beauty of it, it's not more of a chore to me to water them every day, it just feels... right. I'm going through such a hard time in my life right now, but listening to them just feels... right.

@mapkocc 2 года назад

I love it. It's also so simple compared to how impactful it is, just the drums playing 2 bars of 3/4 in the space of the guitar's 4/4 bar. It really is genius to me, prime example of proper use of complexity. So many polyrythms way more complex than this don't carry nearly as much meaning to the overall experience.

actually thinkin bout it i'm not sure if it's a polyrythm, you can definitely count the guitar riff as a 3/4 along with the drums and bass, but when it starts by itself it's 100% not how I felt the tempo/time signature, which is why it almost feels like a polyrythm and the subversion of expectations gives it an amazing effect
