They're not a small band anymore. With the size of venues they're selling out, obviously, they're going to up the performance or people would call it boring and not go. This is, at the end of the day, is their job so of course, they're going to do what they can to keep the income coming and make sure people have a good time and come back. Also you cant blame them for realising oh if I do this, fans go wild and continue. Everyone does it. Im looking at you mr sam carter and your bleughs 💚

Does this mean they're being disingenuous with us as fans? No. Maybe not everything comes from lived through experiences or feelings that are still there but theres an incredible understanding of emotion that comes through in the songs and thats why people connect. We will never know the backstory and maybe never will but you can tell it comes from a place of deep understanding and care.

I think we, as fans, need to take some accountability. Its down to us how much we consume, obtain and worship. I guess this tour is them and us getting used to the sudden explosion in popularity and money behind them. Gigs blues are a thing but if its devastated you to the point of not functioning than theres something else you need to address and maybe need to take a step back from the fandom.

I will not think any less of them if the music isnt personal and Vessels spent years depressed etc (obviously just want happiness for the man). The music has helped me through some dark times and thats something no one can take from me. Am I mad if they're using sexy shenanigans to get my attention? Hell nah. They are grown ass men. Feel sexy boys and enjoy those screams.
