best band (& guys) ever. I need to see them live someday

[@Slevinlobell]

Love the record and all the music you guys in this band and your other bands have produced, love it all. Been a fan of Stu's work for 20+ yrs, NO Devotion got me Into Thurs, hell, I was even into United Nations before Thurs. Please...PLEASE don't stop making NoDev records. Some of us REALLY love the shit and it helps some of us, well speaking for myself, I've suffered from mental issues badly since birth, and music is seriously a HUGE HUGE part of why I'm still here. Bands like NoDev help people like me a ton, so I hope you keep dropping records. Just hope there's atleast 10 songs on the next one,lol.

I'm about to be inappropriately verbose in the KZbin comments again, but heyyyyy that's me. "If I die before this record comes out, then people will never really know who I am" just made me burst into tears, jesus fuck. I'm almost five years into my sobriety as well - December 17th! Of late I've become kind of a spiritual bitch, believing in things like divine timing, etc. and I can't help thinking of the magic in seeing this video today when last night something a friend said reminded me of something I wrote on February 17th, and earlier in that journaling I'd written, "Do we suffer our way into sentience? Does despair lead to clarity? I choose transparency. See through me, please. Know me like you know the blue path of veins and arteries drawn like roots down my wrists. Know that what I've concealed is now on public loan." And on, but ... Idk, the resonance is fucking deafening. The right message at the right time. I'm grateful No Devotion isn't another Thursday - I LOVE Thursday. That discography is as much a part of me as anything; the person who woke me up from social conditioning and self-loathing was killed when his car was hit by a train, so like ... that shit speaks to me on a completely different level, but so does this. So does everything Geoff says. I love that everyone in this artistic group has the ability to be freely authentic - it accomplishes something so true. What a lovely thing to experience.
