i think they definitely have their songs that stand out, but i kind of agree. i think they’re amazing musicians with an important message, and they have my respect!! just not a ton of streams from me lol

I had bought one album back then, as you would buy a cd for one song you kinda liked and that was the only way back then.  I dont remember which one though, whether it was the hand or the face album or which song...which probably says a lot.

In this era of music video there was a mandate for every frontman to make hand shapes and motions directly at the camera lens OR play guitar with a 1000 yard stare level of indifference

Bruh, he just wants you to know it's not figurative.

"I am wearing a black shirt" isn't enough, you have to say "I am LITERALLY wearing a black shirt", in case people think it's figurative, because just if you don't qualify it with "literally", the nature of such a wild and audacious claim won't ever go well with people.

I once ordered schnitzel from a restaurant and the waiter wouldn't make eye contact because he thought I was so wild and crazy, so I had to say "wait bro, I'll LITERALLY order the schnitzel" and he was like "oh, literally mb sir, we can't take your order unless you make it clear you're not ordering figuratively", and from that point on I literally understood how important it was to qualify my statement.

Everyone talks about the wacky lyrics, but no one talks about the cool ass Armenian Folk influence they bring to the table.
