I’ve only listened to balance and some of Versus Dracula. I couldn’t get into the mini arcs or Amnesty and I definitely haven’t listened to Graduation. But I do see it cited here often as a turning point for the brand because of how disastrous it was. Since I’m absolutely not willing to listen to it just for context, can y’all explain to me in /j and /uj terms what exactly happened there that was so awful, and what sorts of things shifted?
