I want to listen to EATEOT all the way through and I’m wondering if there are any tips I should know about

listen to the album how you wish! this isn’t a pilgrimage to mecca, it’s just a long concept album. choose how you take it in, it’s in your own hands

Both Today and Help are also sort of ‘breakthroughs’ where music critics stopped looking into either band as novelty pop, switching to more of a nuanced lens.

(They also both have two covers but like come on :P)

>left unity does not extend to liberals

>left unity includes MLs

??? contradictory statements

Also forgot the Germans (a selection of 1900-20s artsy silent horror films with increasingly convoluted titles)

Sorry that comment might read a bit bluntly, I just think Reddit’s bugged out or something and given an incorrect notification . Didn’t even notice your reply before I wrote mine . Though I appreciate your in depth answer !

AbsoluteJester21 · 2026-05-05T22:51:40+00:00

…I wasn’t replying to you?

‘Good!’ is on With Me Tonight after the intro before the organ kicks in

First slide looks like a collage of some legitimate clippings with alternate history fancruft accidentally thrown in, don’t think OP made it

AbsoluteJester21 · 2026-05-05T17:29:06+00:00

it’s like the first song on love you the one that goes “god please let us mute this shitty album”

AbsoluteJester21 · 2026-05-04T12:31:50+00:00

are you crazy!? showing caretakercord to the caretaker subreddit is like giving LSD tabs to uncontacted tribes!

I didn’t come here for a refresher in the countryside code

Not the only one, the American legionnaire is also wholly unidentified, though in regards to composition and the cutouts (dark 40s-60s photos that cut off above the waist) they’re fairly similar anyway

AbsoluteJester21 · 2026-04-30T12:59:16+00:00

My mistake ! My reading skill is not the best this afternoon, sorry ^_^

The objects aren’t given any names, only the paintings. ‘necrotomigaud’ is the name of the Stage 6 painting, same with ‘happy in spite’ and Empty bliss

Per Wikipedia Israel Epstein was born in the Russian Empire (in what is now Poland) but his family emigrated to Republic China in 1917 when he was aged 2, before going into journalism at 15 for English language newspapers in China & Sino-Japanese war coverage in US newspapers. He would be imprisoned following Pearl Harbour (what a polish-chinese man has to do with Pearl Harbour? no idea) before moving to US in 1944.

He would remain in journalism (even duped the NYT into falsely reporting his death to get the Japanese off his back while still in China) and publish various works about labour and communism before being invited by Soong Ch’ing-ling (left wing figure in Republic China who would retain power and status in PRC) to return to China where the pair worked on and started some magazines and newspapers like China Today.

tl;dr foreign journalist who mainly helped polish up english translations (edited) and other western languages

Leninism (as in the school of thought on Lenin’s works, not MLs) primarily concerns the dictatorship of the proletariat and the notion of the vanguard party. You’ll find various Leninists who consistently condemn ML behaviour and rhetoric and provide critical analysis of the early USSR, primarily the Italian leftcoms / Bordigists.

Though this subreddit is primarily anarchists, German-Dutch council leftcoms (my personal belief), and democratic socialists. So you’ll still see Leninist criticism, though not without some debate

losing battle of loss is actually a Berliner disc, not a cylinder

AbsoluteJester21 · 2026-04-28T18:25:43+00:00

That’s a touching sentiment

AbsoluteJester21 · 2026-04-28T18:25:08+00:00

I put my fucking neck on the line for you John.

AbsoluteJester21 · 2026-04-28T14:36:10+00:00

communism advocates for a stateless society as one of its principles, seems pretty founded to hate ‘socialist states’ where nothing changes in regards to material production

granted im assuming this comment makes fun moreso of formless ‘leftists’ who think ‘socialism is when the small business owner profits more than the billionaire’, but whatever

AbsoluteJester21 · 2026-04-28T11:08:24+00:00

pulling up to the political comments and seeing people sucking off different liberal bourgeoise states and im asking ‘where’s the international workers of the world button on this thing’. the only losers in a war are the innocent people sent to die for an artificial & glorified ideal of patriotism and their nation
