He uploaded Dementia reaction to lure his subs into thinking he will love the rest of the album but he didn't even appreciate anything on it and I was shocked 😲 he fanboys over fit for a king generic bullshit choruses and doesn't even give a single con to it that's when i came to know he's just a biased crappy reactor.

Garrison KNEW exactly what he was saying. He was a fucking POET. God, I miss him. Love JT, but Garrison, man. Garrison was on another level.

[@GlakeGG]

Lyrically. This was definitely their peak. I feel like Self-Titled comes kinda close, but jfc the writing on Augment has yet to be matched imo.

[@Mackathne]

DMT

[@Djitterbug]

The thing for me with Erra's lyrics in general is how vague and, like, nebulous they are; it's hard to cling to a subject matter when the title of the song is something inane like "MYTHUS CORTEX". As someone who listens to their music for the ambience and soaring melodies, the lyrics have always sounded pretty pretentious to me. With a song like "Dementia" though, I instantly know what the subject matter is so I can get a grasp of the emotional weight behind the lyrics, in turn giving the different sections of the song and the "journey" it takes you on, purpose. That's why it's my favourite Erra song. With a lot of their other songs though, it feels like big words thrown together for the sake of ambiguity. Still love their music though, I just generally don't care for the lyrics.

[@lifeisbeautiful7361]

Garrison's vocals when reciting those beautiful lyrics will surely send your soul into different dimension

this album withstands the test of time, you love to see it!!

[@karl00l]

This song is such a beautiful reminder to cherish your existence. All things come to an end but just like this song it's the journey that makes it worth it!

[@thefishvette3163]

Dementia is such an amazing track; it's such a beautiful juxtaposition between what dementia is to the patient and the family trying to deal with the reality of it. I could go into why it's so meaningful but I shalln't and simply say that it's still the ERRA song that I compare all subsequent songs to. And thats not to say they can be compared; Safehaven is probably the closest to Dementia in terms of message and structure, but just general enjoyment of the songs. And I ruddy like ERRA. :D Nice to see you visiting the older stuff. :)

[@breakoutin248]

I completely agree. As an ERRA fan since Impulse, the emotions this song makes me feel every single time I listen to it...you just can't compare any other song to Dementia. And that's saying something considering ERRA's insane list of bangers.

[@archonuk1497]

I like how far Erra have gone and definitely appreciate their later stuff, but Augment is such a perfect album. Maybe down to nostalgia but their melodic stuff (Impulse and augment) when Alan was in the band is god tier.

They'll never come close to topping this album. They haven't been the same since Alan and Garrison left.

I started listening when they released Moments of Clarity, and while Augment was my favorite, I think their self titled album is just as good. I also loved Drift when it released which I know many people did not, but I really disagree with saying they'll never come close to what they've done before

The self titled album and the deluxe songs are their magnum opus in my opinion. I recognize the quality of Augment, it's truly terrific. I don't think it's far fetched to say that the self titled album is the Augment for the current member lineup

Man I gotta go back and check out this album. Really like their newest album but I reeeally dig the kiiiiinda throwback sound of this song. Also Grayscale Season dropped a new song last friday called "Slow Emotions" with a music video so if you wanna feature the boys on the channel this would be a great song to do that with. Easily the most different and unique out of the new singles
