And commenting on some of my past elims

People Verses actually took me a few listens to really get into. At first I was like "oh this is good because it's ETID so obviously it's good, but not one of my standouts from the album." And then I got more into the lyrics and the ending section with "there's more to life than anyone allows you", which I love how it's a sort of fakeout breakdown? Like leading up to it it sounds like it might go into a breakdown/harder section, but they go for a softer landing that I actually think is seriously awesome. I actually have a shirt from them (one of I think 5 shirts I have from them?) that has the lyrics "The well behaved will fill the graves" with a bunch of anthropomorphic rats rebelling against anthropomorphic rat cops. It's super sick. And I mean, the whole "Never trust a man" sections I love as well with how apt it is and how upset it'll make some of the more sensitive alpha-type males.

Hostile Architecture, Keith really goes for some cool vocal inflections. The whole "I know, I know, I know you hate to hear it", the "I'm sorry, I'm sorry I'm sorry", it's just fantastic what he does. And some choice lines like "There's too many ghosts, not nearly enough spirit", "Take my hand, let me teach you about regret", "What do you like better? I will wear it for you/What do you know better? I'll make it the truth".....I obviously could keep going on and on with his lyrics which you already know and appreciate. And the whole ending section in general, the absolute catharsis of just letting it all out. Woof.

Cool to see Sorry Bro I Love You back in! Curious to see how much higher it'll go! Of the Dorian Elctra songs left, I'm kind of surprised Give Great Thanks is still in but I appreciate it! It's a standout from the album for me. And the music video for it is quite something, par for the course for Dorian.
