The Glow, Pt. 2

For me, alot of it was lyrics. Many of the songs were too much for me to handle sonically as well.

the album almost felt overproduced to me, while still being lo-fi

i prefer it was hot...

The whole album sounds so amateurish and chaotic but everything is thought through and intentional. It comes together to be a very grandiose album but fronted by a quiet and untrained voice and the combination is really cool to me. Plus I haven't heard another band that sounds like it at all. Listen to it for a while more.

listen to it when your sad or when its cold outside. itll click

Check out the fantano review.

I mean if you can't appreciate the large sound I don't see how you can appreciate half of mu-core.

I would give it time. I felt the same way, it just kind of grows on you.

This is a great explanation. It's a perfect depiction of a very relatable mindset. The Glow Pt 2 forgoes the verbosity of the usual breakup album and instead translates it into something that's primal but somehow tender and thoughtful at the same time.

My biggest piece of advice is to listen to it on good headphones and really pat attention. The production is so raw but incredibly nuanced at the same time. Sometimes it almost feels like there are mini little songs playing by themselves tucked away.

I dunno. I mean, I imagine part of the appeal is the same as with In the Aeroplane over the Sea. Poorly sung, noisy, but charming. I don't love that album either, but it's relatively melodic, so I can appreciate the whole.

The thing about The Glow, Pt. 2 is that it seems kind of like it spawned from early emo or something, but then they consciously removed the vitriol?

but I'll try it with headphones

If you think the appeal of ITAOTS is that it's "charming", you're not understanding it. The "poorly sung" vocals and noisiness are perfect for the album because everything about the album lends itself to a certain mood and tone. The album is viscerally raw and emotional not just because of the lyrics, but because of everything about it. If it was cleanly produced or had perfect vocals or wasn't noisy it wouldn't fit the type of feeling ITAOTS is supposed to evoke. This is the same reason The Glow Pt. 2 is a masterpiece in my opinion. It's supposed to be overwhelming. I think it's incredible and honestly beautiful that the music can make you feel the way the narrator does.

I kind of like the song Headless Horseman but I always thought this album was so fucking cheesy, and like standard "gentle sad guy indie folk"

I can appreciate things from a holistic point of view, but I'm skeptical of music where clamor appears to be a diversion for proper harmonic sequencing. Not saying that's what's going on with ITAotS or the Glow necessarily—and with the Glow it seems to be more to intone the point that it's an album of strife, which I appreciate—but I do wonder.
