oh my GOD this album. shit. i love every word. reminds me of that time in middle school/high school when i first realized that being a teenager was “difficult” and that music “got me.” it was all about heartbreak and being misunderstood (you wanna know who i really am? / yeah, so do i) and i wanted to be able to relate to every word. in reality, the only experience with “love” i had at 15 were those times where crushes on boys felt monumental. when they fizzled (inevitably) i could sing along to this and it made all of those confusing feelings perversely enjoyable. this kind of music absolutely relishes in that strange you-knew-it-wouldn’t-work sort of relationship. “this is not an exit” still brings on the chills. who knows if this music is considered technically good? i’ll never care.
