I don't think I will. they're all so emotional and powerful and I am only 6 songs in as of writing this and I have already cried to 5 songs.

[@bugjams]

Most people who complain about an artist changing style of trying something new "ruining" their old music... are usually losers, no offense (not saying it's you). It's like... they're artists. they're free to try whatever styles they want. and even if an artist sells out to a record company or something, that doesn't make their past work any worse. be happy that something good happened, not sad that it changed.

[@gaysatan4565]

[@josiebianchi3481]

I said it when he released the Normal Album and I'll say it again: Will Wood write a musical challenge seriously his composition feels VERY music-theatre-y at times, and during The Main Character he does that thing that all the best performers are able to do where you can HEAR him smiling when he sings.

[@marilunaadams]

IKR?? And his albums feel kinda like they have a development and a subtle story (The Normal Album especially). If he wrote a musical i'd be foaming from the mouth

[@thilsiktonix]

I KNOW. It's so wild! "The Main Character" is definitely my favorite because of how characterized it is (no pun intended, that's genuinely just the best descriptor for this). It's so... _full._ Full of life. It's awesome.

[@Wendogic]

i was listening to some of his music in the car with my mom and (completely unprompted) she said that "he sounds like a musical." so, there's that, haha

[@_NobodySpecial_]

Not everyone wants to write a Broadway style musical about their declining mental health, listen to the lyrics of the album he wrote this one because he was struggling to make ends meet. Jesus christ you people are vultures if he wants to make art he's gonna make art but let him make the art for himself at least instead of for others.

[@mint8127]

my grandfather passed this morning. right now we're having a memorial ceremony and its 7, almost 8p.m, about 14 hours after his passing. ive never been close with him, but we have shared memorable moments and i remember a lot about him, even though they were small. i remember how he always checked the mailbox every few minutes, i remember how he always mistook me as one of my cousins, i remember how he would remind me to brush my teeth every time after dinner and smile while giving me a nod and thumbs up of approval whenever i responded. he always told me the same stories over and over again and i sometimes would get irritated at him, but i understood it was just him wanting to be a good grandfather and interacting with his grandchildren. this album was and still is one of my favourites, which is why i chose to listen to this during the ceremony. death is mentioned a lot in this album. of course i wont compare the passing of my grandfather, a human being, to the death of Mr. Boy, a rat, but even though the songs in this album like Euthanasia and Tomcat Disposables are about the death of rats, they remind me of my grandfather in a way. Will Wood helped me deal with a lot of stuff, one of them being accepting that death would happen eventually, so i am very happy i get to listen to one of my favourite albums of his and can get reminded of someone i loved. its even more comforting knowing that Mr. Boy, like my grandfather, are gone with people who will love and remember them forever and that they are no longer suffering, finally at peace wherever they may end up. my mental and physical health's been all over the place lately, but ill promise to take care of myself like how my grandfather always tells me to. now i know why we say that theres a better place that waits beyond the grave, and i hope Mr. Boy will find peace wherever that is along with my grandfather. and im glad i can find comfort in this album, being able to be reminded of my grandfather and everyone else ive lost while listening to it.

[@locomokuu2471]

I physically cannot make it past Euthanasia, my heart can't handle it. Thank you Will Wood for letting me feel emotions that are miserable in the moment, but remembered fondly after I've gotten a hold of myself, sincerely.

[@tadhga]

euthanasia and tomcat disposables always kills me because I lost my grandma and dog in close proximity to each other and this album came out shortly after. I love this album but I usually avoid listening to the whole thing in fear I'll start crying and not stop. recently I've been listening to it and it feels like an act of healing after grieving, just even being able to listen to this. this is such an emotional album let alone that but it's so good and so meaningful. love this 💙

ranting (bad english): God, I was so afraid to hear it because I knew it'd be different and I knew it'd be personal. And with this kind of stuff, I feel obligated to feel every single second with my entire being, it does take lots of effort. So I just waited for the right time. And oh my god. It's so beautiful. back when SDRR just came out there were some mixed opinions out there and I myself was somewhat unsure. and when I heard the song again, there was no uncertainty left. I didn't even need to analyze every single lyric, it was simply amazing. it was almost like I heard it for the first time. the whole album filled me with emotions that don't even have a name yet. tomcat disposables made me cry. I couldn't make out all of the lyrics, I didn't understand all of the songs and I still felt like they _gave_ me something. it's like I didn't give away something in exchange for understanding the meaning, it's like the meaning was given to me. I don't actually think that anyone's reading this but this album is so aaaaaaaahhhhh I love it so much and I love will and I just love how will he is and my appreciation for all this is immeasurable sueiwjwjsuoej4h im sorry but I'm still posting this comment because i have THOUGHTS and EMOTIONS and I'm CRINGE and I don't speak ENGLISH and anyway, Will Wood

You're probably the only artist, that even with a tonal change in music, I will never gravitate away from. I absolutely am SO happy you decided to press more into the raw emotion of your lyrics and try more softer sounds -- usually I am not too big on 'slow' songs but you always nail them out of the ball park. Every single album you drop I have yet to find a song I'm distained to or dislike. This album dropped at like, a perfect time for me. I'm someone who suffers from BPD and black + white thinking /heavily/ and this whole album (and your music as a whole) has been a massive coping mechanism for me. I view myself as a bad person? Put on Against the Kitchen Floor or Half-Decade Hangover. My intrusive thoughts are beating me up? White Noise. Need utter pining fluff when I think about my girlfriend? That's Enough, Let's Get You Home. Your music is an utter life saver for someone like me who just... needs someone with a morally grey mindset to tell me "mistakes happen, but we grow" and the way your music used to be and now is an example of it. Thank you so much for this album dude, I can't wait for the next one. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be listening to this album for months on end. 💕

[@anonymous_cryptid6168]

This album reinstates my belief that emotion is best conveyed through music because so many of these songs invoke an emotion that is oh so familiar yet one that's indescribable through spoken word

[@skeletonman7987]

memento mori!

[@Vibrisan]

This entire album is simply beautiful, a mix of tongue-in-cheek jabs at the audience with a desire to accept the power of change and change itself despite everything life is, shedding off parts of ourselves to become something better + Will's infatuation for mice, he loves those little mouse people that he do. I found the idea of ''belief despite it all'' that some songs hold something special, belief in change and each other despite our faults and idiosyncrasies, and belief in life after death despite it just not being true as far as we know. Falling Up (my favorite song next to Euthanasia, The Main Character, Kitchen Floor, and White Noise) feels like an expression of how chaotic just being in life is and how we never expect it to go in our favor until it does and how that and life is simply often out of our control unknowing of what might be even controlling us, death and it's process is a promise, perfection is not, tl;dr Entropy's a bitch, ''But now I will surely drown'' says Will, ''lol'' says entropy, ''imao''. I loved this album, and I can't wait to get my CD, hell I might buy all of the albums just so I can have them physically, thank you for this album Will, hope the break does you well :)

[@lennyslog2693]

Eloquently said! You’ve captured my thoughts on this album perfectly, Will’s music is truly special.

[@tristanpflughoft8911]

I thought falling up was about nursing self because of the refrence to the Hindenburg and other human made disasters

Just listened to the full thing and uh. shit I am crying. I don’t think I’ll listen to this album as much just for the sheer emotional bandwidth it requires. I can’t take feeling this much too often. It’s like staring into the sun except the sun is a mountain of repressed emotional nonsense that’s been steadily growing since I was like 7

[@candycoated_rage6591]

i struggle with coping with the idea of death. i have for a couple months now. it’s been making my life hellish. i finally got the chance to listen to this and.

[@NyanHabeny]

its genuinely a privilege to have been listening to ww's music since 2018 and to have been able to listen to the evolution, both musically and ideologically, from album to album. i feel like ive grown up along with ww's music. this album is everything

[@OvisArcana]

tell me why so many of these songs are simultaneously bangers AND make me emotional. this is an incredible album, the instrumentation is phenomenal and every song was just so interesting to listen to. truly outstanding work!

[@mossyphrogy9390]

Euthanasia reminds me of my baby Pterodactyl that I lost a few years ago. He was an amazing cat. and i got him when I was 4 years old. I turned 15 in January. I told him everything was gonna be okay the morning he died, and that everything would go back to normal. I miss my baby :(

[@aurorapalazzo4831]

Against the kitchen floor had me feeling a whole new emotion I never knew I had

[@cicadacoded]

i can't believe it's been a year because i feel like i've been listening to this album my whole life. this album came right when i needed it most and helped me feel less hopeless, less inhuman, less alone. in a way, it felt i was holding my breath for my whole life, and when i heard this album for the first time, i got to let it go. everything about this album is beautiful, the instrumentals are gorgeous, the lyrics are so complex and personal and devastating, and the vocals are just so amazing and filled with so much emotion it hurts (not a bad thing). i can't imagine a world where this isn't my favorite album, and i'm so glad i got to experience it. (hopefully this doesn't sound too intense or invasive i just really appreciate this album)

[@filthywormeater9950]

i could make a whole three hour long video essay on this album. god it just wrecks my mental state and then mends it back together like the torn off arm of that stuffed animal from your childhood. i can FEEL the regret, burn out, hope, hopelessness, sonder, worn out by life, and desperation for the future. this album is definitively the best i’ve ever heard in my life. the best music, is music that makes you feel. and god damn, this made me feel so much. thank you Will, you may have made mistakes and bad choices in the past, but what you’re doing is so important. i’m so glad i lived to see you grow, you are an inspiration beyond words. do whatever the hell you want, and obviously don’t let anyone stop you. i wish you well.

[@strawberrysoupiii4801]

this guy really is musical kurt vonnegut huh,,, i'm young, very gay, neurodivergent, angry at the world, and a huge fan of theatric rock-and-roll. But I really, sincerely love this album- purely because of its message in the context of all of the older music. It sort of helped me realize (albeit in a painful, raw, undeniably unique way) that i can't fetishize "something being wrong with me" because it'll just trap me there. It actively describes getting *better*, as opposed to just acknowledging that something's wrong, or wallowing in that wrongness, and I genuinely appreciate it. i think it's wonderful to appreciate older, angstier art, and sympathize with the place of pain that it comes from- just as long as we no longer pressure the artist into making more of it after they no longer feel that pain. Art is a form of self-expression, and demanding nihilism or cynicism from someone is just the same as demanding someone to tell you that everything is fine and happy. It really fills you with hope, and i similarly hope that other people (especially younger fans!) are able to feel that too! i love WW's old music, and i relate to it a lot. But i also wholeheartedly root for him to find a resolution to the painful emotions in it, as well as for the struggles in this one- the same way I wish for the resolutions of my own angers and fears someday.

[@shinxabsolfurreteevee]

love this whole analysis you've done but holy shit that first sentence is going to be stuck in my head forever.

[@riley9320]

I went into this worried I wouldn't like it but holy shit, this might be Will's best album yet. Each song feels thematically similar to each other but each has its own distinct vibe and I've already found myself belting out a lot of these lyrics. My favourites so far are Falling Up, Against the Kitchen Floor, The Main Character and White Noise but all of them are growing on me :)

[@clxwnska5921]

Until today I hadn't listened to euthanasia since before my guinea pig Timothy had passed, and especially considering how happy Tim got whenever I put on Will's music, it hurts so much more

This album was absolutely wonderful. I can't really express how much I believe that Will is such an ingenious songwriter. Even though there's a good amount of little silly metaphors in these songs, they strike an emotional cord in someone in such an impactful way. I love how it's about general experiences that people have (primarily inspired from experiences from himself) and it's just lovely as a whole. Amazing album!! I hope for it to be my very first LP vinyl I collect because Will has earned the title of being my favorite musician :DD

And that's beautiful. Absolutely, stunningly beautiful. I will never be able to express just how much it means to me, but I assure you, it's one of the few reasons I can keep going, one day after the next.

Will, I don't know if you'll see this or not, but an interview I saw about you and your near-death experience and just general life experiences resonated with me, a suicidal-ish fifteen-year-old. This album hurt too, what with Willard, Against The Kitchen Floor, Half-Decade Hangover, and Um, It's Kind of A lot. All of these songs hit harder than I'd like to punch myself, and honestly?

Man this sounds great, in comparison to Will's previous works every song feels even more... I don't know, more personal, human? It's nostalgic in some songs and weirdly optimistic yet with a heavy feeling, at least that's how I ended up feeling by the end of the album

The way you write songs is amazing and this album is just beautiful, kinda melancholic and ngl I cried w/ these songs.
