jcrabapple just liked a song on Last.FM!
'Caramel' by Sleep Token
@jcrabapple I quite like that, although it is not as immediately sticky as Emergence. Good though.
@gavin57 it's super catchy in a less proggy way, but a more poppy way. It has a reggaeton vibe. I like it. Not as much as Emergence, but I like it a lot.
I think this song is important because it's not Vessel speaking in the lyrics. It's not wrapped in metaphor. It's the man behind the mask talking directly to the shitty toxic fans.
@jcrabapple Yeah, just been reading the excerpt on Last.fm now.
It is an interesting to think about how things might have turned out for them if they hadn't worn the masks and kept their identities private. Unfortunately, some people, I hesitate to call them fans, can't leave well enough alone.
@gavin57 you should see the social media comments. People are obsessed. They make this band their entire personality and then they get upset when they don't get what they want.
It's about the music! That's why the band hides their identities. They don't want it to be about them. The lore and puzzles are supposed to be fun, but as with everything else, people just have to ruin it.
