i decided that “ten speed” is their very best song though. it even helps that it’s about a sentient bicycle demon

This is much better than Vaxis I. I absolutely love the last three songs, especially the last one where they really lean into the prog theatricality.

i'm gonna have to spin this eventually. think I stopped at the album that wasn't conceptual, cos I didn't like it.
but I like the ridiculous bombastic stuff

The run of the last three tracks should do you just fine, for sure.

the album that wasn’t conceptual is their weakest easy, i wish it weren’t the case. vaxis i is bloated but also so packed with great songs it’s hard to complain. and vaxis ii corrects for the bloatedness

josh eppard did a drumeo session and it is soooo good. the angle of his ride cymbal will always baffle me (i'm guessing it gives it a really choked sound/short attack and he likes it that way) but can't argue with the results
