I swear to God if somebody comes in with the "urm the Su-57/D isn't 5th gen"...

First off, I'm gonna preface this by saying I'm just an average Joe when it comes to music. I barely know any music theory, how to do composition, all that. I try to listen to the individual little pieces that makes a song, but I'm by no means good at it. Heck, I'm just a mediocre drummer and an amateur guitarist with little creativity. I'm just speaking from the perspective of a complete normie that's been briefly enlightened.

Anyways, we all know nbuna is insanely goated with composition and weaving lyrical narratives that span across different tracks or even albums. We all know that Suis is genuinely made for Yorushika as a vocalist. But it's mental how with every listen you can keep on finding more and more musical details that somehow you still overlooked during all previous listens.

For example, the album "Plagiarism" Goated. Beautiful tracks. But I only realised TODAY, after scrolling on Instagram and coming across a guitar cover for "Thoughtcrime", quietly under Suis' deep, sincere vocals, that the 2nd pre-chorus at exactly the 2:00 mark actually utilised the exact same strumming motif as the intro for Replicant.

And my mind was blown. I know I wasn't the most perceptive when it comes to musical composition nor am I the sharpest tool in the shed, but how come I've NEVER noticed this?? It might just be a mundane detail, but this somehow struck me so profoundly and made me appreciate the genius of this duo even more than before. And I thought that was impossible. You just keep on finding more and more gems in the songs.

One might argue "this is just a plain reuse/allusion of a motif that appeared in one of the previous songs in the album. You see this everywhere. What's so special?" It's not special, yes. But for someone that's just surface-level educated about music theory, I appreciate that it's not immediately obvious, but rather a somewhat subtle detail that only reveals itself after multiple listens (unless you're a genuine musical freak, which I unfortunately am not). It doesn't scream "hey I'm connecting this to another song in the same album!", but rather, it doesn't take the centre stage along with the outstanding vocals and only works as a quieter compliment. This kind of humble detail, for some reason, appeals to me so much. There's just more and more gems after each listen, and I think it's beautiful that I'm ignorant enough to have this experience.
