Thinking (album) Puns

tw;; mental health, suicide

So, if you don't keep up with rookies (Don't judge you tbh), C9 Entertainment (The same company of boy group CIX) is about to debut their newest boy group: EPEX.

Is my problem the group's debut? No. My problem is their mini-album name:

BIPOLAR PT.1: PRELUDE OF ANXIETY

WHAT. THE. ACTUAL. FUCK.

I know we still have little information and, maybe, this could be actually a concept made to bring awareness for mental health struggles, but I can't help but fear the worst coming from everything I saw growing up. I lost a family member to Bipolar Disorder and Depression and I have diagnosed Anxiety and ADHD, so mental health has been this looming figure over my life ever since I was a young kid in a hospital being given anti-depressants to treat my ADHD. I grew up seeing how the media either makes mental health struggles into a joke or romanticizing it as this beautiful thing instead of the draining thing it truly is. Even now we still struggle with this, media is evolving, but we can still easily find people online saying suicidal people are "angels wanting to go home" or just the whole series of 13 Reasons Why making suicide and depression into this beautiful revenge plot (This series was cited by my teachers as a good example of the portrayal of mental health in media, this is how out of touch some people are).

Some groups like BTS, Stray Kids, and Seventeen talk about their struggles in their music, but that never was their whole concept. Considering how much I've seen of how mental struggles are portrayed, it's hard being hopeful about a group with this album title. SK is not known for being good at taking care of mental illness, so I just have a hard time believing a company would be able to do these heavy topics justice. I want them to, It would be really good for young people in SK to have a lot of groups having songs being open about struggling and maybe seeking help, but this choice of title feels so... aesthetic. Like: "Look, isn't mental health cool? Look how cool this sounds?" and it makes me really wary of what's coming up by them.

I don't want these kids to get screwed over, I want them to be successful and reach their dreams, this is not their fault, but C9 Entertainment started their journey on the worst first step possible, at least with internationals.

11. Be Proud Of Your Kids - A shorter version of the song that serves as an interlude, no child in the background

12. Pêcheuse De Lune - A completed version of this with polished sounds and structure

13. From Pink They Fell Into Blue - A completed version of this with polished sounds and structure. Some more sounds at certain parts in the song.

14. Father’s Day - A completed version of this with polished sounds and structure, and a more impactful ending (synth solo?)

15. Shirim - An alternate version of the Shirim we know that sounds more like old MEC and that has more sounds. Also, the instruments sound more energetic like the live version

What are your thoughts on MEC’s first album and what would you change?

Given that we got to see the making of Renegades and Broken Heart of Gold this early, I'm so happy actually that I want to have a little talk about this a little bit lol

I’m fine with either honestly cause I think they’re godly at both and Metallica is my favorite band for good reason, but I’m leaning towards thrash just because

1. Lars may be practicing drumming for a good reason (the payoff of which seen on the battery performance live on Stephen Colbert show, and the good reason being the new album possibly being thrash).

2. Lars said that this upcoming album would be the one to sell the fans on Metallica once again for those who weren’t sold after death magnetic and hardwired

this could of course just be baseless album hype we see all the time from bands, or of course he could just be sorely misunderstanding what the hardcore fans want and who their hardcore fans are, especially cause the black album was their biggest album, so people who think black album is peak Metallica could be the people he is talking about. Because of these reasons I’m only slightly leaning towards thrash since it’s far from anything concrete, it could honestly go either way

In a episode of 5 guys they said they have left a lot of tracks off TNA

Personally i think it’s mad long and ion really fw tyler anyways so sorta biased. But brent felt more like a backup singer kinda sad about that ;(

shut up

1. Jesus Is king + Nah Nah Nah (Honorable)
2. Ye + Wash Us In The Blood (His best song)
3. Yeezus (shit album)
4. MBDTF (Shitter album)
5. No need for anymore because they’re all ass. Plus he got washed by lil pump.

when it was revealed, people pointed out right away that “scaled and icy” was an anagram for “clancy is dead”, but what if it’s actually technically the other way around?

the first time “clancy is dead” showed up was in the LOC flash drives and people immediately connected that to the dema lore, but what if it was there to actually give us a hint about the next album too? a few months later we got the cover art for CSTY, which obviously had “sai is propaganda” written on it which was another hint towards the album.

idk maybe this doesn’t make any sense but it’s something i was thinking about earlier today.

Hey all, we are a two-piece emo folk duo from Minnesota that just released our biggest labor of love project ever. We are on the fence about selecting this song as our "good foot forward". We are super proud of this whole album but especially this song, however not everyone seems to vibe with it.

This song was written from an honest and remorseful position of recognizing one's own toxicity in relationships. We would love to hear your honest thoughts!

I just listened to the NCT Dream comeback song and…honestly…what? I’m not here to bash the song, but like…there’s so much that it could’ve been but just wasn’t imho. Someone said it looked and sounded like a commercial for hot sauce and I agree.

Then I heard the Sides and they were some good ones on there, but when I heard ‘Countdown (3,2,1)’ I felt like the song would’ve been a stronger title track and was honestly better. I honestly think that was miss, but that’s just what I personally think.

I am definitely getting Out of the Blue and Discovery. Is there any other ones I should try to get?

Or is there a better option I haven't thought of
