Mortgage off your soul to buy your dream
Vacation home in Florida:
The collateral the devil's repossessing from me
Trying to score some off-brand ecstasy
Will you be an anarchist with me?
Sleep in cars and kill the bourgeoisie
At least until you find out what a fake I am
Spray-paint my initials on an ATM
I'd burn the cash and smash my old TV
Will you be a nihilist with me?
If nothing matters, man, that's a relief
Solomon had a point when he wrote Ecclesiastes
If nothing can be known, then stupidity is holy
If the void becomes a bore, we'll treat ourselves to some self-belief
Oh, you know what I should do
You wonder
If you can even be seen
From so far away
A slow pull, a seismic drift
Leaning over the edge of a continent
It's so hard to come back
You hang on until it drags
You under
You under
You under
You under
I normally keep my negative opinions to myself, but this is one band I just don't get. Satellite radio played their one song Not Strong Enough from this same album over and over until I was sick of it. Now anything I hear from them has an immediate strike against it. This song is just bland and uninteresting to these older ears. I guess maybe the kids dig 'em. Maybe I'm just getting crotchety. "Hey, boygenius! Get off my lawn!"
Your older ears have finally reached 'Peak Old-Man Curmudgendom'. I recently realized I'd entered that stage because I've never had a problem with Laurie Anderson using a vocalizer but I get annoyed when I hear Billy Eillish using it. Not sure there's anything we can do about it. Just hope the kids remain tolerant and don't start hauling us off to rehabilitation camps.

And does he?
I like it... Kinda like First Aid Kit jamming with the Pixies and Sonic Youth!
And William just followed this up with First Aid Kit!
Fair. And I'm quite old. I like it.
To this point, in the sequence I'm listening to, Satanist was immediately followed by the Smashing Pumpkins "Drown," from 1992 - thirty years earlier! And it's a perfect fit and flow. Great DJ'ing, RP.

The sound is quite ... er ... old-fashioned. Which isn't a value judgment, just an observation. I can't see myself buying the record on the strength of this track, which I think is maybe a minute too long.
