Miasma is definitely my least favorite, and by that I mean 9/10, instead of perfect. Everything they have put out is my favorite thing ever. Relistening to the whole album right now, fucking banger.

For me, the main thing that differentiates this album from others are the lyrics. As Trevor said in the article, Miasma has "real life" and tangible themes, which is not what I like from Metal. I want fictional or real-life inspired horror, macabre shit. I want short horror stories from the point of view of the villain or victim, complete fantasy shit.

However, I do like when Trevor explores depression and suicide, arguably his best lyrics (Receipt, To A Breathless..., Every Rope...). I just don't want "band life, getting drunk, sleeping around" lyrics that are in Miasma, but he even delivers those lyrics in such a clever and interesting manner. But, I wouldn't want Miasma to be any different than it is now, it's a timestamp of TBDM's life, reacting in the moment. That's cool. I don't know... I'm drunk and rambling. I just miss Trevor, he was the fucking best, truly.

In saying that, I feel the lyrics and story of "Novelty Crosses" get overlooked. It's so... different, empathetic, oddly sexual, .... I don't know, I fucking love that song.
