God I can’t wait for Marianas Trench to drop the full album. Listening to their music feels like coming home. The song writing is just absolutely incredible. The way the albums are themed but also reference previous albums, the melodies, the harmonies, the VOCALS. Like to hit both (I think) an F1 and an A5 in a song? HOW

i am in love with the way marianas trench builds on their own mythology for every new album, and so i already find the coming-into-oneself adventure vibes a la astoria (2015), the ominous strings and vocal flourishes a la phantoms (2019), and the harsher guitar break reminiscent of fix me (2006) delectable in their new album opener.
but as i am most insane for ever after (2011), i am especially excited for the way "a normal life" sets up the new album as a foil for the old fairy tale - a fable with a lesson to be learned more than a whimsical bedtime story. where the speaker was pulled in by the romanticism of leaving behind drudgery in ever after, the new work is frustrated with the ways they can't simply settle into the mundanity.
there's always been this unhealthy sense that the object of affection (porcelain, the dearly departed, the ghost) can fix our speaker's sense of unwellness by staying. now, though, the creative mind behind mt has lived in the security of the sought-after romance for years now, and there's still the pull of that sickness that we got so intimately acquainted with in fix me. what might it mean to embrace the voices in the night? how will venturing into the depths of himself help things fit together right? i'm so freaking excited to find out.

Don't mind me, just thinking about the contrast between the angry and frustrated screaming lyrics in Low from Fix Me
and how they return, this time softly and gently, in End of an Era in Astoria
Living embodiment of "Growth and healing doesn't mean never feeling bad or relapsing emotionally, it means it's just not as loud as it used to be"

Thinking about mariana trench snailfishes
Look at these funky little guys. Aren't they cute and a royal spit in the face of death and hostile habitats. I love them.
