Why Music to listen to is actually BMTH’s most important release (and essentially their Kid A)

I've seen a lot of you guys not being... big fans of 'music to listen to'. And I think that's a big shame!

Because I think it feels like their version of Radiohead’s Kid A or Aphex Twin's Drukqs. That much needed palete cleanser.

Yk, if they didn't do the whole 'let's break things and have fun with it' phase I don't think we'd see the POST HUMAN era.

So I sorta ended up putting together a video essay breaking down the album, and how perfection kills modern music:

Really curious to know where this sub stands on that album, or EP, today. Still an instant skip?

How Modern Writers Murdered Worldbuilding

Modern storytelling is actively hollowing out worldbuilding by removing "system friction."

When distinct races, cultures, and histories are sanded down into interchangeable skins—like the sanitized Qunari in Dragon Age: The Veilguard or the total collapse of logistics in The Rings of Power, the world loses all its moral voltage.

A living world needs genuine difference and institutional resistance and leads to the "Hollow World" problem destroying modern media.
