10,000 gecs Review

Hi hi hi! Very excited to start my blog back up hehe.

Anyways, for my first post I wanted to talk about my favorite release of the 2020's so far: 10,000 gecs

I don't believe in rating music with numbers because I feel like that's stupid and takes away the fun! If you're looking for that you might wanna find another blog <3. Here's what I think is important for the readers to know about this album, general thoughts, etc.

Well first I have to acknowledge: Laura and Dylan took their sweet time with this album. But, it payed off. Slated for release a calendar year before actually seeing the light of day, this album absolutely fucks. Anyone in any 100 gecs online forums (especially r/100gecs) recalls the absolute torture of waiting for this album before any clarification on what exactly happened to the promised release date (and now inside joke between fans) of early 2022. Rumors spread of issues with record production - ironic considering the CD's for both this album and its predecessor 1000 gecs, sold out within 12 hours of being available for sale while it's vinyl counterparts are still in stock. Not for long, though, if my friend group and I - who now have a combined total of six (6) copies of this album between five (5) of us - have anything to say about it.

In their third big release, the duo finds themselves shifting from their iconic sound of glitchy, computerized, autotuned hodgepodges of notes. They spend a lot more time with their guitars in this album. While I do miss the mania of songs like stupid horse or 800 db cloud, I still love how it sounds. 100 gecs is a band with a musical progression that's pretty satisfying to follow. Every one of their releases is easily followed from their last, and the Snake Eyes EP (their first release to break the form of the 10^n gecs nomenclature) serves as a great in-between to 1000 gecs and 10000 gecs. I have to say, I was a bit sad to see the synths take the back seat on this album, but: as badly as I wanted is is as happy I was I didn't get it. Like Robin and Steve.

The interesting thing about this album is that you swear you've heard it before. One Million Dollars comes to mind. 1000 gecs is unlike anything you've ever heard, but at least it doesn't sound so familiar. 10000 gecs is like the dude in your stats class who looks just like the guy you saw at the library yesterday, who you can't shake the uncanny similarity to, despite the fact that they're clearly not the same person.

The SFX soundboard, luckily, isn't eradicated entirely this time around. 757 and mememe defibrillate it especially.

But enough about what wasn't on it, I really ought to get to the good stuff (I'm already how many paragraphs in?)

Firstly, there's some great polkas on here. Frog On The Floor and I Got My Tooth Removed will bring out anyone's inner slav.

It's equally as difficult to make guitars sound so annoying as it is to make annoying sound so good; both things the duo succeeds at. My personal favorite track on the record is The Most Wanted Person In The United States. 100 gecs must have laced these basslines with something. Slap bass is a surprisingly important characteristic on this album, which I love. I mean, who doesn't love slap bass?

1000 gecs tended to show Laura and Dylan's more sensitive sides, dripping with details about Laura's love life. While it did take its time to delve into some out of character topics (like race horse bets, money, and ovens), ultimately a decent amount of the lyrics resonate with the tuning forks of love.

The new album focuses a bit more on the artists themselves. As an STL native, finding out the two members of one of my favorite bands of all time come from my hometown was fucking awesome, and it's interesting to hear about their journeys in growing up there as artists. Hollywood Baby provides a euphoric insight into the glorious escape of the negativity of the midwest. I love it here, don't get me wrong, but this place is less than friendly to those of us who are maybe more inclined to write and be sensitive.

All around though, a grunge rock album from 100 gecs is exactly what the world needed right now. After foreshadowing the pandemic, 1000 gecs becomes a little exhausting, even to those of us who have secretly (or if you're cool, not secretly) loved it from our first rendezvous with stupid horse. What we needed, after years of journaling and whipped coffee, surprisingly wasn't a renaissance (which is not a Beyoncé reference, although I should talk about Renaissance). What we need isn't a return to where we were. It's a moving forward. An acceptance of new spirits, which is exactly what this album is. A metal infused baring of the soul to anyone who's willing to listen.

Now I need to ask, what happened to what's that smell and fallen 4 Ü? 100 gecs made the decision to tour this album before releasing it, which ended with them touring songs that never ended up getting released. Very sad for those of us who spent hour scrolling through gecs on the internet, impatiently bumping our heads waiting for the day our favorite tunes would end up on streaming services.

I also deep down think that 757 might be an allusion to 745 sticky. Could just be me.

@espectres asked: wakes up 2 hrs later mEMEME 🕯🕯🕯 // // send me 🕯️ to hear my character's inner thoughts about your character.

' shou-kun ... he's way cooler than me , isn't he ? '

( ... he'd hate to hear you say that , you know . )

' i know , but ... i can't help it . '

how many times had he dreamed of being somebody a little more like that ? eager and fearless but still warm , someone who could do everything just right . daisuke could only ever faintly grasp the idea of the other's charisma , more often than not swept up and carried away by the energetic impulse and vital whimsy of it whenever shou was about : a high-flying kite's string and a whirlwind of laughter . there were times it felt like shou had all the answers ; knew every right path and action to take , or even if the boy didn't , then he was more than ready to decide on his own and to stick by them --- a total contrast to the niwa's own floundering helplessness and perpetual , easily overwhelmed confusion , a sting in his heart and shawl of timid shame left over on his shoulders .

it's not enough for someone to be gentle and kind ; they've also got to be decisive when it matters . daisuke can't remember where he's heard it from , but the phrase immediately comes to mind . the insecurities too , despite how quickly he tries to bury them away with shut eyes and both hands , remain phantasmal and lurking . if i was more like that , would everyone still think i was a loser ... ? he could have finally been the great phantom thief that everyone around him seemed to desire . his mother and grandfather would have been satisfied with their heir , and the chide-and-scoldings over his clumsiness would have surely vanished . his oldest once-crush would have had someone cool and interesting to admire instead of someone plain and average to reject and dump . just maybe even hiwatari-kun would have had a better reason to capture him , and wouldn't be suffering all the time .

if he was just a little bit more like shou , then maybe even dark ---

( oi . quit it . stop right there . who said you were suddenly allowed to start deciding things like that on your own ? )

' --- eh ? '

it doesn't get too far . or rather , it doesn't go any further than that . somewhere he can feel dark's silent irritations and jealous , guarding leer . the prickled and grim bereavement of someone watching another struggle exhaustively at digging a deep , pointless , and useless hole for themselves . ( are you really just going to give up like that ? ) --- even if he can't hear it , he can still feel it . dark's and his own truths . it was enough to have been born and to be here right now --- to change . to be able to do something . to become someone . the sort of person that he wanted to be .

( that's it . one more time , now . start it over from the top , daisuke . )

' i ... shou-kun , i --- i really don't want to lose to him in any way . just thinking about him turning out disappointed in me , i ... i don't want to let him down . whenever shou-kun smiles , i can't help but smile too , and whenever he laughs , my heart starts beating faster . no matter what happens , i want us to be able to keep having fun like that . i want shou-kun to be able to stay like that : happy and free , but strong and considerate , too . he's the sort of person who always has his hand reached out to me . he's always looking over his shoulder , waiting for everyone else to catch up with him and follow . that's why --- i should do my best so that i don't end up left behind . '

i'll meet you at the same place , somewhere in the middle . i won't let go . i'll hold onto your hand while you hold onto mine , and we'll race off together , no matter the destination or distance . ' ... sorry . i've gotta pull it together . ' palms slap against somewhat red-flushed cheeks and he musters up every ounce of his gumption . ' i've still got to work hard to meet everyone's expectations , but i'll do my best --- ! let's do this , dark ! '

( ... eh , you can manage . i'm going back to sleep . )

' wha --- really ?! '

#espectres #*･ﾟ⊰ ANSWERED. ⊱ #CANON. #i have thoughts abt how shou reminds dark of one of the gremlin niwa ancestors #(who actually was very popular but struggled against his family's conventions/had a 'sturdy lock' over his heart #and was called a failure by the rest of the niwa and a joke etc+) and how shou #REALLY reminds dark of that niwa in particular. but dark isn't one to make assumption abt ppl's lives or problems #the same way daisuke is oblivious to a lot of what goes on behind the scenes with shou's life tbh #there's a lot dai doesn't know but just by superficials hes always like waowowow @ shou #the sort of person he wishes he could be..... the sort of person who both makes him feel insecure but also #inspires him to take charge and start pulling up and moving forward #+ also his bestie #etc #ANYWAYS ILY PEACH TY FOR SENDIN #SHOU IS SOOO IMPORTANT 2 MEEE AND DAISUKE...... and dark (he guesses 😐)

mememe is such a cool song a) bc it just slaps but b) the entire song is "youll never know anything about the real me" and that's the one laura les used her real unmodded voice in for the first time

#like thats such a cool choice #symbolism and shit

[funkywinkyboy]

I listened to sweet juice and omg you're right!!! What other songs would you suggest??!!

Ayyy I'm glad you liked it! Sweet Juice really does slap doesn't it 🥰 I really like most of Purple Kiss's title tracks, especially Zombie and memeM! They're a group where I keep meaning to listen to their b-sides and just haven't yet, but yes please give them a try!

March 2022 Comeback/Debut Ranking

15. Real Love-Oh My Girl

Yeah…really not my vibe. I think the concept was a good version of their previous concept, just more mature but the song was just boring to me. I hope I like their next single better, this one just wasn’t it.

14. Hai Cheng-the8

Unfortunately I just don’t really like ballads most of the time. I love his voice and I’m glad he’s doing more solo stuff, he’s my bias in Seventeen and I want to see more from him. I just wanted another pop track like Side By Side, which was one of my favorite songs from 2021.

13. Oh Sorry Ya-Sunmi

Another song I’m not a fan of from one of my biases this month, and Sunmi is one of my ults too. I don’t know why, but I just did not vibe with this song.

12. CoNEXTion-NCT U

So happy to see my boy Shotaro doing something, but honestly a bit disappointed that he wasn’t actually part of the song. He’s a member of the group, he shouldn’t just be used as a dancer. The song itself was only ok. It felt like an intro song for an album, just stretched out to a full length song, and frankly there’s a reason most intros are max 90 seconds. This song is too long.

11. Ven Para-Weeekly

I’m not a fan of Weeekly, I only listen to their singles casually, so I don’t think I should comment on their concept change, other than to say that I felt that this concept didn’t fit them, but for the song itself, I felt it was very generic and it didn’t really catch my attention. I probably won’t skip it if it comes on shuffle but I’m certainly not seeking it out.

10. Love In Space-Cherry Bullet

Glad to see them come back! Not a fan of the verses and pre chorus, I felt that all the lines were rushed and it was distracting. The chorus and bridge were really good though, just not enough for me to listen to the full song often. The MV was super fun though.

9. Mother-Heize

A rare ballad that I liked! I’m not a fan of very chill songs but Heize is almost always an exception to that. I thought this song was beautiful and emotional.

8. Honey-Solar

Another Mamamoo solo this year! I was looking forward to Solars solo comeback and I definitely enjoyed it. I think I prefer Spit It Out but Honey was definitely fun. A bit too chill for me but groovy enough to keep me interested.

7. Glitch Mode-NCT Dream

The anti-drop chorus is not my favorite but a really enjoyable song nonetheless. I love that the Dream rap line other than Mark is getting a chance to shine and obviously the vocal line is killing it as always. I loved the sudden electric guitar dance break, so fun.

6. Look At Me-Kawaguchi Yurina

Not really kpop, but I found out about her though GP999 so I’m including her. A great debut and the song is really pretty. I’m glad that she didn’t let her loss on GP999 drive her away from this career, I think she’ll do great.

5. Feel The Rhythm-Red Velvet

I love this song so much! The trap + classical music combo is so good, and the ballet/classical art concept is so cool. I wasn’t a fan of Queendom or that EP, so I’m glad that Feel My Rhythm and its EP were more my style. I loved the b-sides.

4. MemeM-Purple Kiss

Another song from one of my ults this month! MemeM was really good, I felt like this concept really fit them. I loved the story teasers too. Zombie killed it but I’m glad they went back to the vibes of Ponzoña. The EP is definitely my least favorite one of theirs but still pretty good.

3. Wonderland-AleXa

Spectacular. Definitely the best song on American Song Contest so far. The lyrics slap, the song slaps, the performance slaps. She deserves to move on to the semi finals and I hope she makes it further too.

2. Tomboy- I-dle

I’ve been listening to this song so much since it came out. I know people don’t like Soyeons rap but I love it. Is it cringe? Yes. Do I love it because it’s cringe? Also yes. The entire song is so fun.

1. Maniac-Stray Kids

My third ults to have a comeback this month! All I needed was EXID and I would have had 4 for 4. While Oddinary wasn’t my favorite album of theirs, I really like Maniac and I’ve been listening to it non stop since it came out, it’s a great follow up to Thunderous. I can’t wait for the rest of their music this year.

Top 5 B-sides

1. In My Dreams-Red Velvet

2. Bamboleo-Red Velvet

3. Pretty Psycho-Purple Kiss

4. Freeze-Stray Kids

5. Beg For Me-Red Velvet

[chainreh]

okay me rambling about memeM bc i need to my thoughts OUT

• intro illusion

i really like this one it has a kinda creepy vibe which Fucks and the dance is cool especially the chaereh part! my only criticisms are 1. im pretty sure the dance fucked up dosies knees😭 2. only goeun yuki and swan are singing/rapping 😔and i get its a 1 minute long song so its not plausible for all members to get a part but it still makes me sad. And 3. ITS TOO SHORT. gdi but yeah👍good intro

• memem

ngl from the teasers i was pretty hesitant about it but i thought the "mem mem mem" part was really catchy😭and then the second mv teaser spoiled the whole chorus. Then there were articles about it being "experimental with bpm changes" and i went oh no. but GODDAMN it slaps. i watched the mv right after waking up and it felt really intense 😩and it really suits the theme of witches hypnotising you and getting inside your head. i think the bpm changes really aided into the intense feelings of the song, but despite being dark and creepy, it still manages to be somewhat playful in its sound? and its stuck in my head Indeed. i think overall i like zombie more as a tt but memem is still suuuuuper good.

• oh my gosh

jieun's voice in this song 🥺oh my gosh indeed. i really like it its a nice chill listen (especially if u listen in album order after how intense the previous two tracks are lol) and the outro to the song: everything from the "lalalala" is PURE serotonin!!! especially that second "purple on the top!" so cute 😭i love these girls sm

• freaky pu- i mean pretty psycho

this is probably the best track on the album. the bass, sooo sexy. freaky purky wasnt my favourite but i still liked it somewhat, and now. i mean that chant has become iconic in my head. i really love the lyrics in this song, the use of "pretty" to mean both "very" and "beautiful" with "im pretty psycho" and "im a pretty psycho" wowie. and the "maestro, maestro, im a pretty psycho" part is EVERYTHING. very pleasant to listen to I HOPE IT BLOWS UP🙏music or performance video of pretty psycho please

• joah

i really like (what im pretty sure is??) the guitar in this song, its very cozy and nice. joah, 2am, and period are all best friends. i dont have much to say about this track tbh😅but everyones vocals in this song are really nice and MAYBE this song contains my fav yuki rap ever??????

•hate me, hurt me, love me

me when the bside has a long fucking title🔥🔥🔥no but fr this is my fav track on this album its currently fighting with cast pearls before swine for my fav purki song. the intro instrumental bit sounds so pleasant??? and i really like that it opens with (what i think) is dosie's vocals bc she has a really sweet voice that suits this song so well🥺i love the chanting part at the end of the chorus i can just see them all performing this live with beaming smiles and its so 😭😭also does yuki sing in this song? i saw a colour coded lyrics video that said it was chaein singing this one part but i fr thought it was yuki, but maybe it was just the effects they added to her voice. anyway yeah this song is everything to me i love it so much

• cursor

uh oh its the sad song!! and its really good!!! i ADORE the build up of instruments from the intro to the chorus and the drop at the end and wow its so 👌idk what to say i cried my first time listening to this it was really an Experience. i dont think my explanation could do it justice u just have to listen to it

OVERALL

this album is so good holy shit. i think as a whole i like it more than hide & seek but like i said i think i prefer zombie as a tt over memem👍this is a call to action to go listen to memem rn it's very excellent. once again purple kiss do not disappoint

#purple kiss #memem #im not gonna tag all the members but know i love them<3
