Not sure how to feel about it either, part of me thinks I'll grow to love it, part of me hopes this track is a fluke. I still applaud him for doing whatever the hell he wants, regardless of how it turns out. Grime's last album had that dilemma for me - applaud her going whatever direction she wanted even though I didn't like it too much.

 

Also it looks / sounds like a Kirin Callinan song.

[Alcofribas]

[KovalainenFanBoy]

wouldn't be an OPN album without a deep lore and fictional universe behind it that doesn't actually come through in the music at all

 

ok that only happened with G.o.D but still

[WeAreOceans]

Nothing at all what I expected. I really dig it. I like the vocals too. Someone in the comments said he might be going for a deconstructed hip hop sort of thing, which would be rad imo. Definitely on-board. Will likely pre-order too (Partly because I DO want a shirt with EXCESS BONDAGE written on it.)

 

 

 

This is the writing to be used on signs for a nuclear waste site in New Mexico after they block up the caves for good. A whole bunch of multi-disciplinary scientists basically needed to figure out a way to make it clear the waste is incredibly dangerous to civilizations thousands of years in the future who may not have any concept of radiation, symbols and languages we use.

 

Nice little write up on the project here https://99percentinvisible.org/episode/ten-thousand-years/

Leave it with me. I might do a first-listen-review-o-rama when possible and post the related word soup here.

 

 

 

One of Danny's shoops, not mine!

Didn't know about this! Raycats is another track on the album, so here's the source for that too

Ah good catch!

 

I'm pretty sure one of the lyrics also twists the chorus to "a wave of black holes" as well, possibly a reference to one of the architectural ideas to ward people away from the area:

 

 

"Black Hole": A masonry slab, either of black Basalt rock,or black-dyed concrete, is an image of an enormous black hole; an immense nothing; a void; land removed from use with nothing left behind; a useless place. It both looks uninhabitable and unfarmable, and it is, for it is exceedingly hot part of the year. Its blackness absorbs the desert's high sun-heat load and radiates it back. It is a massive effort to make a place that is fearful, ugly, and uncomfortable.

 

Though the YT details says the lyrics are inspired by the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit which is a fucking wiki hole in of itself.

Also the pattern on the back of the hazard suits in Black Snow match the weird light patterns in the MYRIAD video

 

 

 

edit: seems that specific pattern appears a few times in the MYRIAD video, at least, in amonst the final credits

The teaser video sounded cool, the cover art looked cool, the black snow song and video suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked

[auxien]

I've never liked much of anything OPN has done but the track wasn't that fucking bad, damn Sagan. Putting him out, he gonn cri

Are you sure you're allowed to say that buddy? 

 

I was crucified for those sentiments, just a forewarning.

yeah, i'm probably overreacting and it's just one song. and just to clarify I don't mean it was stunningly awful in a no talent sort of way, I just mean it did absolutely nothing for me. just completely middle of the road auto-tuned tripe and an equally dull video. pick a better song as a lead single and maybe get frank henenlotter to direct your quirky little 90's video next time. 

 

 if OPN did happen to read this he would probably enjoy knowing how unreasonably upset this song makes me. I'm not even sure why it bothered me as much as it did. This single is on par with my recent introduction to Greta Van Fleet. 

 

anyways, all the medieval shit sounded really cool and I still plan on checking it out.

I shit on Eno in another thread, I ain't afraid of nothing. A Clockwork Orange sucks too. Who wants to fight?   

 

Thing is I think what OPN is doing is interesting at times, just not something I personally connect with. Maybe that'll change at some point or with a new release or whatever, but I don't think he's trash or anything. Kinda presented as more about hype and tons of pseudo ironic motifs and meanings at times? But I ain't judging. Just not for me generally, but I always try to keep an ear to the ground, ya know?
