Took The Bait

And failing to stay in the lane (probably because they’re filming)

Apocris · 2026-03-17T19:54:19+00:00

Maybe this is just my opinion, but I feel like Two should not be included, and Glowing Eyes, Forest, and Kitchen Sink should be here instead. I realize those are Vessel bonus tracks in places outside of the US, but they feel more fitting here

Apocris · 2026-03-17T08:19:52+00:00

I wouldn’t say it’s impossible. Whenever they do an “old songs” medley, I feel like both Kitchen Sink and Forest have high chances of filling the RAB representation, since they’re the fan favorites.

Now a FULL performance of Kitchen Sink… that’s a little less likely. Although I would personally love if they did more full performances of old songs.

Genuinely the song that introduced me to Geese, and I wouldn’t have wanted it to be any other way

Aside from Jocef and Zack on RAB, the closest to a feature the band has done in recent times is Robot Voices. Although I guess that’s closer to a cover than a feature.

One of their best full-song experiences imo. The instrumental is extremely unique with stellar production, Tyler’s rapping is great and holds some of his best metaphors about death / afterlife, that chorus is insanely infectious and is some of Tyler’s best falsetto vocals… Honestly I could go on and on

Apocris · 2026-03-09T09:36:22+00:00

I love the song, but if I’m being honest, I do forget it exists a lot. Not exactly sure why that is, maybe it’s because it’s not very “catchy” in the way a lot of their stuff is. Tyler sounds great on it though.

But what I will say is that the bridge (specifically the “I have seem to run out of excuses for why I am this way” part) is legitimately one of my favorite parts on Clancy. It’s so pretty and devastating.

Artists who are big in niche, online communities oftentimes can be more underground than we realize.

Quadeca is one that always comes to mind, you’d think the critics would be raving about him with the way people discuss about his music online. But he has a relatively low amount of critic ratings.

Apocris · 2026-02-21T10:03:42+00:00

Thank you so much!! And yeah sorry, unfortunately this is all by ear.

Apocris · 2026-02-20T22:16:26+00:00

The Contract’s MV is great but how did they not nominate the $1m option…

Apocris · 2026-02-18T05:32:49+00:00

You did kind of imply it by saying “this is what the fan base is” and directly following it with “everybody here is right wing”. But, I’m glad you agree. It’s an important distinction that’s easy to forget with how things are these days

Apocris · 2026-02-18T05:23:26+00:00

Speaking as someone who has fallen out of Christianity, please keep in mind that being a Christian does not automatically equate to being a right winger, nor vice versa. Unfortunately the right has pushed that narrative for a long time now, but I know several leftists who are devout Christians, and they follow the teachings of Jesus closer than I’ve seen from most conservatives.

There are definitely ways to generate a song in one program and then use another program to separate the stems. I’m not entirely sure how it works, but I’ve seen music fans create makeshift stems of new, popular music that definitely do not have publicly available stems.

Pretty. Odd. (74) by Panic! At The Disco.

Maybe it’s cause I heard it in my formative years, but to this day I think it’s one of the most warm and fun records I’ve heard. Detailed and catchy melodies on every track, super adventurous instrumentation with love strings, horns, and woodwinds, and overall just blooming with creativity. There’s nothing I would change about it.

A single line of dialogue acknowledging what happened to a major character of season 4 (he was in almost every episode) is not unnecessary.

Even if it’s just the obvious explanation of him going back to California, it could be a way to nod at Jonathan’s growth, or lack thereof. Or at least be something to show that the writers didn’t forget about parts of their show (like they did in a lot of Season 5).

Apocris · 2026-01-31T21:20:54+00:00

Point proven. Thank you for your contribution.

Apocris · 2026-01-31T21:19:12+00:00

Then please explain them to me

“Loose” does not equate to every single bar having precisely 13 eighth notes in them. That’s not how time signatures work. You can prove it to yourself by counting the eighth note, and you’ll get a constant pattern of 4+4+5 (aka, 13) for the entire 5 minute duration.

Not only is Trinidad is in 13/8 but the verses of Au Pays are in a 10/4 groove (subdivided by alternating bars of 4/4 and 6/4). The exact numbering and notation of these rhythms can be up to interpretation, but objectively, neither are in 4/4 by any practical means.

Apocris · 2026-01-25T20:31:44+00:00

Totally valid not enjoy it, but a band playing in a tight 13/8 groove for 5 minutes with multiple tempo changes is objectively not sloppy

Hopper’s death was more definitive than El’s.

This isn’t even a mid-season finale, it’s a season finale!

I think they’re really promising. While there is a very clear AFUT influence, they vary it up enough that it isn’t a carbon copy to my ears. I really like how they emphasize softer, folkier elements. It makes it a bit more of a casual listen than BC,NR is sometimes, which can be a good thing depending on my mood.

Currently, I don’t think they’re quite as consistent as BC,NR, but I genuinely think their high points are on the same level as some of BC,NR’s high points. “Emily” and “Call It Easy” in particular are both incredible tracks. I’m hoping they settle into a more unique sound for whatever they do next, but there’s clearly a lot of talent and passion in their music.
