LIMITED EDITION

Life so sucks I'm taking walks at 4am to cry in peace and cutting my hair in the bathroom sink again. Things never get easier, do they

Everything is a slow motion car crash right now and I'm desperately trying to turn the wheel. But I went to my mom's house this morning before work to catch up and not feel alone, which was nice. Burnt my bagel though. Fitting metaphor

Listened to the teens of denial re-record today... I had to know. Overall, the content of any changes aside, the execution of the changes themselves were so poorly done that the album is a bad listening experience. The new overdubbed lyrics sound empty and often don't match the pacing of the original line. Songs that are jarringly identical to the original are right alongside tonally inconsistent new additions. It's just strange, and that's only the sound. I think returning to an album about being a teenager 10 years after it's release could be an interesting exercise, but we didn't get any new insights or revelations. We lost some of the most cathartic and interesting moments instead. Honestly I don't care enough about about the album to keep going, but I will say that keeping all the references to drugs while removing the swearing feels so inconsistent like... It makes me want to look around and ask people are you hearing this? Am I crazy or is this really bad?
