Fun fact: the "distorted" vocals at the start of ruler of everything is actually done by singing into a megaphone

[@crushdtinbox]

They do that live to replicate a similar sound, but it is pitched down in the original track

[@tweer64]

Weren't the choruses of Spring and a Storm through a megaphone?

[@jimmz6]

i love ruler of everything but because of all the distortion I don't think it works live

[@Themehsofproduction]

@@jimmz6its does well you should litsen to it its pretty good

[@Themehsofproduction]

[@quintycx]

You should definitely listen to miracle musical, it's the same people from tally hall and some songs like The Mind Electric, Murders, Dream Sweet in Sea Major are really good!

[@Anthnack]

did they make variations on a cloud?

[@MammalianCreature]

Dream Sweet in Sea Major is a fever dream

[@PeaceBear16]

The Mind Electric would definately mess him up...

[@ReinerEvans]

@@Anthnack Variations on a Cloud is from Miracle Musical, but it's just a single rather than being a part of their album.

[@Vezeyi]

Just a thing: The music video for turn the lights off is about a kid going through puberty that's scared of growing up The part where his arm turns into like a snake thing is his body going through changes the part where the girl turns into the monster is him thinking sexual thoughts about her And the part where he looks in the mirror and he turns into a monster is him not liking how he turned out

Ruler of everything is actually about the existential dread of time, juno is the human high pitched voice while time is the deep one and those "weird" lyrics was a back and forth argument between the two, it's really great

[@cactidoctor]

they picked juno cuz its a girl name but refer to them as he, also juno is a reference to *the entire human race*

WOOO TALLY HALL! This is fantastic :) I would love to see a part 2, and would also love to see you react to Miracle Musical (which was created by one of the members of Tally Hall!) Good Tally Hall songs: -& -Spring and a Storm -Never Meant to Know -Cannibal Miracle Musical songs: (Honestly, the entirety of the album is super cool if you listen to it in order, but here are my favorites) -Isle Unto Thyself -Murders -Labyrinth -The Mind Electric -Dream Sweet in Sea Major

YESSS CANNIBAL! It’s sooo good

[@finpin2622]

Ahh nice!! Tally Hall has been my comfort band since maybe freshman year of high school, they were one of the first bands I feel like I discovered "by myself" so it's always felt so personal. And the songs are bops!! I honestly find myself listening to a lot of like, earlier 2010ish music because for some reason I feel like there was a lot more being weird/having fun rather than trying to sound polished from the start. Like the Ruler of Everything music video, just playing around with the resources you have and putting it up on KZbin for people to go "wtf?". I kind of miss that age of the internet, although the spirit is still around in some ways.

[@johark]

you should listen to bill wurtz, his best songs are: "La De Da De Da De Da De Day Oh", "And The Day Goes On", "Might Quit", "Here Comes The Sun", and "Fly Around"

[@Arnikaaa]

My favorite is “in the airport terminal”

[@sr.imagination2574]

btw the meaning of ruler of everything is basically time roasting humanity for being stupid

[@joshkorte9020]

Everything that's on the album cover actually exists at the real Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum in Farmington Michigan.

[@kingmespeaks6839]

Yoooo I really love Hidden in the Sand and The Bidding, but my fave Tally Hall song has gotta be Misery Fell if you wanna check it out

[@smileyshy3d]

the background for marvin's marvelous mechanical museum is an actaul place with (as the name implies) all sorts of fully working vintage coin operated machines among other marvelous attractions the name of the band is also a the name of a mall they hung out at

[@hibilbo4755]

The mechanical hands in ruler of everything are referring to the hands of a clock

[@robertallan8035]

Please do a part two, for spring and a storm if for nothing else

[@sushicat999]

Really cool to see your reaction! I love tally hall :) you should also listen to Spring and Storm, its my favorite and make me cry every time lol

[@TerabyteInGeneral]

I love how that one part in Turn the Lights Off, he had to lower the audio it was so loud.

[@alexthegordo]

I feel Like Good Day, Greener, Welcome to Tally Hall, and Banana Man are more Fitting Choices for a Tally Hall Beginner (Ruler of Everything was also a Great Starting Song)

[@TOASTERBOI_2004]

Got recommended this after watching the Will Wood reaction video, Tally Hall was so god damn underrated when I found em and I’m so glad to see them getting so much of recognition that they deserve

[@kiwikewt]

So glad you listened to Tally Hall, Ruler of Everything is definitely one of my all time favourite songs

[@DomR1997]

Hidden in the sand is such a nice, relaxing song. I like to listen to it in my car, sometimes, when I'm depressed. I could fall asleep to it in those moments. F for the mice

[@ivyashfox4837]

i feel like the evolution of the music i listen to is like: 2020: Panic at the Disco, AJR, 21 Pilots (brought in by my sister), 2021: Omori, Jack Stauber, Cavetown, LoveJoy, Lemon Demon 2022: Mother Mother, Tally Hall, Happy Fits, LoveJoy, Lemon Demon this all stemmed from Frozen 2 with into the unknown sung by Panic at the Disco during the credits XD how'd we get here lol a lot of these songs have come and gone in cycles over and over again

[@popsiclestar7986]

Ive been waiting for this one!!:D

[@MothBitch_Was_Taken]

Ruler of Everything is full of metaphors and has some lines that we still don’t know the meaning of, but pretty much it’s about a conversation between man and time, and how, in the end, mechanical hands (time) dictate the universe and eventually lead to it’s demise, if it wasn’t obvious already it was written during an existential crisis.

[@VirgilAtlas]

And it makes me have an existential crisis every time I listen to it despite it being one of my favorite songs.

[@nerdhouse1368]

[@danpierce8862]

Tally hall is one of my top 3 favorite bands that i cant choose from. They would be my favorite if they did another album or had more music under that name to have them beat out those other two bands. They are a VERY special band regardless of controversies. I have to admit, when i heard all of these songs i had this wave of nostalgic overtones like i had heard it before, long ago as a very young child where i was too young to remember what i was listening to when getting my mind blown. It has a timeless sound, and it isnt possible i heard it as a kid. I was born in the 90s. And NO theyre on hiatus. First song i heard was turn the lights off which was on a staticing radio. Shazam couldnt make it out. Remembering hearing it in my first car driving back home from my high school soccer game and connecting the dots 6 years later was jarring when i had my hair blown back by the bidding.
