The Album that Couldn’t Beat the Allegations

I don't mind that people find some of the lyrics in Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Silence to be problematic because people should express what they feel. But shouldn't Glassjaw and Daryl Palumbo get to express what they feel? Isn't that the point of art?

[@HapaxGirl]

This album was about betrayal and abandonment at your absolute lowest due to something that couldn't be controlled. As a teenage girl back then, I completely identified with the anger, sadness, and pain Daryl felt. He bared his soul to us on EYEWTKAS, and it still means so much to me in my big age.

[@p0ison_0ak33]

As a WOMAN from LONG ISLAND who LOVES glassjaw and has seen them many many times live, my life wouldnt be the same without those lyrics.. the music was about heartache obviously and i never saw it as misogynistic. maybe shocking at first but completely understandable. especially growing up in the same "scene" it was always common knowledge Daryl was a scorned soul..Glassjaw doesnt get props they deserve. theyre so amazing.

[@OuroborosScumbag]

Isn't what Punk and Hardcore are about....Expressing yourself without limits.

[@anti54321]

Let's be real, every single man who had their heart ripped out and heard Glassjaw thought "wow I'm not the only one" and didn't think "YEAH FUCK WOMEN" then grew up and has a healthy relationship... Maybe, I'm sure some dudes suck and don't deserve healthy relationships.

[@kingchuckfinley]

1000%. I just got my heart broken. The life I had is over. Honestly, it’s weird that this video popped up, because I’m a little afraid to listen to this album. I’ve almost pulled the trigger several times, but I put W&T almost every time. That’s going to change.

[@HHH-pk3to]

Listen to it. ​@@kingchuckfinley

[@EMOtiveHXC]

Does Daryl hate women? No. Does Daryl hate [people] WHO: cheat, break promises, leave you when you're weak? Yes The point of EYEWTKAS is to express his weakness during what he thought was his final days as he watched the girl he loved break his heart, horribly. Not to full-on incelpost.

[@schizophreniagaming4058]

Yeah, and it came out as incel behavior as almost all the people on the track were women. But, if you do try and take the gender out of the context, you get a man screaming at the people who broke him, and a man in pain with a cracked heart to stitch back together.

[@JorgeAdrianUbieta]

Daryl Palumbo doesn't owe any apologies to anybody.

[@Fire-Toolz]

[@Vegas2buck]

[@tdognschooch]

@@Fire-Toolz If you are offended by words/art ......life is going to be a rough ride for you......

[@voidfeast]

​​@@tdognschooch It's less about "being offended" and more about striving for betterment. The dude himself has moved on, but apparently his juvenile, resentment-filled gamer audience can't. I like the album musically, but it's a product of its time. The same way we no longer tolerate lyricism of the 70's/80's about minors, some things are better left in the past. We're definitely not worse off for scrutinizing backwards ass views, which were once considered normal.

[@tdognschooch]

@@voidfeast It's a guy pouring out raw emotion and in a very poetic way and you want to sugarcoat in the art so it's more aligned with your views........people have lost the plot these days. Art is supposed to make you think and, dare i say it, be uncomfortable.

[@glassjaw93]

[@drewbruggman]

[@bufordhighwater9872]

What irks me is that these songs about raw heart break are really more about how much someone hates themselves than how much they hate the person that broke their heart. There's a reason that screamo/3rd wave emo/boy angry at girl bands, like Glassjaw had huge female fan bases. Because girls could relate to those feelings of anger and hurt. The songs weren't about them or women in general; they were songs about expressing a pain those girls had also felt. I'm sure there are those outliers; songwriters who were misogynists and hurt women, or fans whose misogyny was fueled by music they heard. But we can't subjectively judge art or an art form or an artist solely based on what someone disagrees with or what they feel is its worst aspect or work. We judge artists by their talent and we try to separate the art from the artist. We judge their catalogs by the totality of their work.

[@MantasticHams]

The problem is its just not that simple, and people from multiple different viewpoints are simplifying this. I wanna be clear, i think your view is right a certain percentage of the time, and i don't know what that percentage is, But TBH i mean i wrote songs about cutting young girls apart and wearing their skin, and other serial killer level shit, or a song about my worst sexual thoughts about like, dominating women i see in public in degrading ways. But those songs were about jungian psychology, or deconstructing the way that porn warped my brain and other artsy shit. But then there ARE dudes who get away with being kinda terrible to women or partners or whoever, and its evident in their music (in this genre and others), and they have what seem like totally rational and even noble ethos around them, and it turns out that both things are true, they are totally aware how bad this stuff is and thats why they wrote the song and then they also did it. That says something about just how many ways this can go down, to me. Then you have the guys who soudned artsy and then you realize later they were actually just dead serious and there was a facade up, in secret they always abused their partners in shocking ways, and they wrote about it as if they were trying to process it, and basically you were just watching the rationalization of all their flaws happening in song form. Like, they are eternally "trying so hard to change" and shit like that. Or you realize catharsis was less catharsis and more celebration. I mean i could go on forever, people just aren't simple, never ever ever make the mistake of thinking that because you know 1 story, or even 10, that you know 1 or 10 more. And as far as seperating art from the artist, as an artist myself, i usually find that fine to a certain point, but after that point i jsut don't even want to try and do that. If someone is like, REALLY terrible, they are abusing tons of people or spreading hate, the soul of the music/art is tainted. Its a little easier if its just instrumental or maybe a film with a cultural context that i can appreciate, but if its some guy who raped a bunch of women singing love songs, or fuck songs, thats a hard no. If you can get past it i try not to judge on that because people connect to things in different ways, but theres certainly times i find it odd. If you still listen to R. Kellys "Trapped in The Closet" for fun, you are sus AF, its facts.

Only thing that puts me off watching these videos is the audio mastering. It's really low quality. The music segments are deafening and the talking segments are near silent. It's a deadly combo especially for the easily startled lol.

[@FireMrshlBill]

Hearing Siberian Kiss on a friend's copy of the Roadrunner catalog demo back in '02 or whenever was huge for me. Got me into Hopesfall, Norma Jean, Poison the Well, Every Time I Die, and, my favorite for a long time, Dillinger Escape Plan. That one song being on that demo had my friends/bandmates talking about how crazy it was and set the tone for my musical preferences for the next decade thereafter... heck, the next 22yrs+

[@deeperatmosphere]

Great video, never knew anything about this, just liked the band a Lot Back in the day.. Didn't expected that anyone would deem this as mysogynistic, sure there is hate, pain and Aggression.. but i think every Woman that Had lived through pain and a broken Heart like this could relate to that Feelings too.. Yeah it's about a Woman that Broke him, but in General you could see the Lyrics fitting to people that Break Hearts, and don't respect or value the Feelings of the Person that give Love.. and abuse their Feelings.. I saw much heavier and worse Lyrics targeting man, and those Lyrics are just hate, Not relatable experiences because a Heart got broken.. Really don't get why this honest impression of Feelings is deemed mysogynistic, yeah it's harsh, but Not stupid hate against Woman.. it's about one that Broke and hurt him, Not Woman in General.. I am Happy that a Lot changed towards Woman rights and how Woman are valued nowadays, Woman Had to suffer long enough in society.. But Not everyone is Bad and mysogynistic Just because He Had Bad experiences with woman and expresses His Feelings.. Music is there to get your Soul Relief, and to get your Bad Feelings off of your Soul..

[@sunsetmiami_]

Holy shit what a great video. I’ve been a Glassjaw fan since this album released. It helped me understand what I felt after my first serious relationship ended. How upset I was and why I was so upset. I channeled my frustration through listening to this album and through my own music I made in the bands I was in back then. Truly a record I’m glad exists.

[@mint_1919]

Thank you dude, this is exactly how I felt. Matter of fact, sometimes acting guilty about something that should be small can really kill your career. I've been into Glassjaw for a while now and only recently actually got into their first album, and I can say that as extreme as some of the lyrics sound, they can be morbidly cathartic to hear or say. It's like when you would punch your pillow or something when having a temper tantrum.

[@franky_spankyy]

As a relatively new glassjaw fan who has fell in love with this album over the past year, especially sonically, this video was so helpful in truly understanding the lyrics and being able to look past how they come off at face value. Fantastic work, subscribed - glassjaw 4 evr 🖤

[@thecosmicblueautie]

All thre is to say is that Daryl's lyricism is perhaps the most pointed record in Emo. He isn't the first to expresss rage and heartbreak in a song, but is probably the most prominent to display such vulgar levels of rage, and for the last song to be about not having your girl when you need her most almost ties in a bow the reason FOR such rage. It's a toxic masterpiece, like how people feel when listening to a Future record.

[@keithchristmas7315]

My favourite thing about Palumbo is how you think he's done and then he goes "Oh, and one more thing" and then starts Head Automatica

[@dwpoloni]

You're a person in your late teens/early adulthood, barely grasping how to navigate the world, son of (if I'm not mistaken, I think I read that a loooong time ago) an alcoholic boxer who regularly beat up your mother (and probably also you), that's enough to make you feel very alone and very angry. Then you find yourself in a hospital, battling a disease that could easily kill you or prevent you from doing what you love the most and the person where you've found a home abandon you when you needed not to feel alone the most; that's more than enough to make you feel absolutely alone and absolutely angry. Also add to that equation some misinformation and some twisted ideas that were sometimes spread on the straight edge scene at that time (some of which would lead to result in absolutely absurd bullshit like Hardline), and you have a grenade in your hands. Turns out that I've been a fan since EYEWTKAS came out and I've never read a bad thing about Daryl or Beck, aside from the criticism to the lyrics on this record. And I think that's the whole point. Everybody has these thoughts at some point in life (specially when you're around the age Daryl was when he wrote those lyrics), but what matters is what you do with it. I'm glad the guy turned it into a positive thing, making a viscerally honest and emotional record (that, exactly for that reason, resonated with so much people), kicking and screaming only at the stage, instead of becoming a horrible person beating and being an asshole to the women in his life (which, given a past like that, would be understandable - you guys know that you can understand something without necessarily agreeing or condoning it, right? or you think a woman that finally kills her abuser is 100% in the wrong?). I could be wrong, but I remember reading somewhere that there are lines on the lyrics for Worship and Tribute that were about Daryl resenting how he dealt with that situation (Ape Dos Mil, specially) and even in EYEWTKAS you have stuff like "as I'm looking back into my diary, what makes me say those things? [...] It's the bastard in me"). Anyway, I think that this is one of (if not) the most important functions of any language of art: to help us dealing with our emotions and traumas. And it will get ugly a lot of times. Trying to correct the world making politically correct art will always fail. There's tons of abominable people out there making the most cute and sanitized art trying to fuck babies (yes, that was a clear reference). On the other hand you have a person that seems to be very nice and thoughtful about his past and present that has been made to apologize repeatedly over decades for something he had the courage to sincerely write in his late teens, and that he seems to legitimately be sorry for, having to STILL deal with it. Adorno (himself a problematic figure) once said that the more honest and relevant you are to yourself, the more honest and relevant you will be to the rest of the world. And, in the end, that old IX Century cliché "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable" is a cliché for a reason. Very nice work! (:

[@NocturneMusic]

i read daryl became sXe bc his dad abused alcohol. it makes sense and he committed to it from like 12. did not know his dad hit his mom though. that's really rough and im glad (as far as we know) daryl didn't become that

[@MusicFromTheOutside]

Fantastic, well thought out, and mature comment. Hopefully, people read this and understand why it's so utterly pointless to rage about this sort of crap. The singer stepped up and, like a real man, took responsibility for his words and actions and moved forward with his life.

[@dwpoloni]

​@@NocturneMusic Yeah, I read all that back on the day EYEWTKAS was still their only album, in their site, forums and message boards, so I might be mixing or missing some stuff two decades plus later, but still. It's hard to put your hand in the fire for anyone, but I think people in the hardcore scene are so vigilante and eager to affirm they're own moral virtues that if anything remotely weird or wrong related to the guy had been floating around we would all know about by this time. He took responsibility for what he put in the world and never shied away from doing so and that's what you expect from a person that has been called out for something. That's enough for me.

[@dwpoloni]

​@@MusicFromTheOutside Thanks! And, yeah, exactly. "Canceling" the guy, as in trying to prevent him from working on his art (like boycotting, etc), is pointless and would only do more harm (not only to him, but his family too), as well as deny any possibility of correcting/learning from his mistakes and any collective solution or awareness so that everyone can think about it and evolve together.

[@ShanevsDCsniperr]

i've never watched any videos on your channel before but appreciate your reasoned perspective on this. 'everything' is an incredible album. i personally find many of the lyrics to be cringeworthy, but agree that artistic expression should be judged as such and not misread as a literal representation of the artist's real-life intentions or everyday mindset. in the absence of any allegations of mistreatment or violence, it seems to me that stuff like this is a way of sublimating negative feelings, a practice that should be afforded to artists. i also totally understand how people could find the lyrics on that record disgusting or too off-putting to tolerate. that criticism is totally valid imo, it just shouldn't be conflated with palumbo himself, or fans of the band/record.

[@KevinLuper99]

If a woman wrote the same lyrics about a man, would it still be so shocking and cringe-worthy?

[@ShanevsDCsniperr]

@@KevinLuper99 i didn't say it was shocking i said it was cringeworthy, and the answer is yes, tbh. there are larger societal factors that make it a little less so, but those kinds of lyrics would still read as a bit juvenile to me. that's fine though, wouldn't stop me from listening to that band/artist (just like it doesn't for glassjaw), as long as the music is cool/moves me and feels like an authentic expression. hope this makes sense.

Thanks for the great video - sub'd yr channel after watching.

[@Riviere8281]

What a burden with the culture of the offended. Daryl had a bad experience with a woman and wrote about it. The fact that this person was unpresentable does not mean that he generalizes. I'm a woman, and I'm a big fan of Glassjaw. Women are not beings of light, we are people, and there are nice but also bad women. To maintain that women are beings of light, in fact, is sexist

[@cescostello638]

Really good album. I can understand why some people can be left shocked by the unfiltered lyrical content, and I myself agree that some lines results a little too much for today standards (for example "If I can't have you no one will"). But at the same time I can't help but think that its infamous reputation has been eccessively ostracized due to its lyrical content being scrutinized as misogynistic without its appropriate context, and the fact that Palumbo has repeatdly apologized for it since should tell you more about the fact that the guy meant no harm toward the female gender as a whole. It's not a perfect work lyrically but it's also the best thing he could do at that time, expressing viscerally his pain and his distrust over a toxic relationship which took its toll over his life.

There definitely is a double standard with this shit. like ya said in the video. I am 100% for women being able to express their rage in unsavory way. But it seems when it's a man it has to be scrutinized as if they truly live by their lyrics. I have seen countless femcel anti male lyrics that are always accepted with open arms. they never get labeled the same way they do with men. lyrics can be therapeutic. they hate toxic masculinity but also apparently dont want men to release their rage in a healthy way? Also, what if youre a man who is in a toxic relationship with a serial cheater who is also abusive. does that mean you cant express rage because somehow you are soeaking about all women?

[@Riviere8281]

People only need a common sense. He was talking about a bad experience with a person, that turns out that she was a woman. His feelings are universal, abandonment, feeling deceived, for me that a woman did this to him is something accidental.

Glassjaw is my favourite band and EYEWTKAS is my favourite album. Of course I acknowledge its sexism, but as a listener, as you said in other words throughout the video, you have to see that this was written by a teenager. I've been mentally tortured and manipulated by women, so I understand that, though it doesn't excuse the sexism. But when you live in a society that is super misogynistic, especially back then, it's easy to fall into the trap of being sexist. Even a lot of women are misogynistic. These issues aren't as simple as "oh, Daryl was sexist". These problems are much more complicated than people make them out to be and Daryl has admitted that what he wrote was sexist and moved on, grew up.

My stance on this comes from the fact that I'm very critical of the late 2000's/early 2010's era of what I call 'Warped Tour' Metalcore bands such as Asking Alexandria and Of Mice and Men who had some incredibly sexist lyrics which even crept into some of their merch and the way the bands spoke about women in interviews. I feel somewhat hypocritical shitting on those bands for their misogyny whilst ignoring Glassjaw doing the same thing when they're one of my favourite bands.

I only know who Daryl is because of his brief time with Cage on Hells Winter

[@RobertCarroll-s8g]

The whole scene was filled with misogyny… remember KILLWHITNEYDEAD? Whole gimmick was violence against women.

[@NobodyZSS]

What would you rather have? Upper middle class white people whining about Palestine on a record? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Riviere8281]

Because we have a bit of common sense. Now talking about how you have a really bad experience with a person is bad..ok..

[@CountryMouseCityCrimes]

Do we seem to forget that everyone else also has the right to express themselves? Should Daryl Palumbo's free speech and right to express himself supercede anyone elses? Get real.... if you dig this shit. Feel free.... just like everyone else is free to feel how they wish and express their opinion. Man oh man the "free speech" crowd has gotten full blown fucking insane lololol. Free speech means free from government. Not from society lololol.

[@KevinLuper99]

How is he "superceding" anyone else's right? 🙄

[@CountryMouseCityCrimes]

So then why do you guys cry like babies when people get called out for having unpopular, wierd opinions or for acting like loser scumbags?? You should also.... keep your mouths shut no? Stop complaining no?

Stop cucking, Palumbo! Your words are perfectly stated! It is true "you can lead a whore to water and you can bet she'll drink and fallow orders!" Don't apologize for your truth in lyrics. They're wonderful. o/
