'Phrenetic' - First listen note

Despite a low initial ranking, this isn't one of the Lingerers. This is.... a wild ride. An incredible feast for the ears. So many genres and so much, so much mishearing lyric fun. There's obviously 'peanuts frustration america' sounding like what it sounds like, where America flashes their private (thanks mascot puma for confirming). I thought I would have so much to say on this, but it just grew on me so much. It felt like the whiplash I got from Towering Inferno, but it worked and was cohesive and was insane and there's one guy in there who looks just like Shayna Baszler & Bray Wyatt had a grown-ass baby. I've watched reaction videos to this song where they have so much praise for little things I didn't hear like southern rock stylings in the first post-chorus verse, how crazy the bass is hidden behind everything else, etc. Awesome song, awesome nom. Love it.

"I was a teenage dirtbag, baby" - First listen note

For the longest time, I thought at least one of the choruses was singing, "You called in sick from your funeral" and I thought it was about someone disappearing from their life, but y'know, still alive. Definitely not. Loss is tough, and the more I listen the more I realize it's about a friend who watched a best friend take their own life. "You said you're trapped in your body," damn.

P.S. And the longer it's been since I realized that and listened more, the stronger and more powerful it has felt. "Remember me for me, I watched you set your spirit free" is so heartwrenching. I am just... I can be happy it's in this elimination block because I don't know if I could survive more rounds of this without Monty Python and "Rewind take it from the first line." You really are the bane of despair. Thank you for this discordant beauty.
