Video? Could care less. Would prefer if Billy just didn't try to be "weird/shocking" or whatever he thinks he's doing. The only thing I take from it is that Billy spends a lot more time thinking about image + reinventing the wheel rather than just focusing on the music. I honestly think he would feel the video was edgy + weird, but doesn't hide the fact that the song is flat as a pancake + totally stale.

Same with the album (ATUM: a A Rock Opera In Three Acts).

Give me a break. It's going to be 33 (!) songs of pure shite. Bombast, vacuous lyrics, dull music, boring arrangements, ridiculous overblown imagery etc.

Back around the end of the original band, you could just put on a shuffle of all SP songs + pretty much not have to skip or go through deleting anything you didn't care for. With each bloated release they just add more junk that you'd have to sift through to put together a listenable playlist (if anyone does this anymore!).

Just retire ffs.

well said.
