"He cums radiation" is most likely a reference to nuclear familys. The normal album has themes of the idealistic American dream and its ties to the nuclear family. The nuclear family being the idea that you should have a wife and you children, were you able to procreate twice you would create a "nuclear family". This ties into "he cums radioation" as his 'radioactive' seed created this nuclear family. May not have worded it the best but that's how I see how it

Will Wood's entire discography comforts me in a really deep way because it feels like it reminds me that even though I might be a little weird and have some issues, I'm not the only one with those issues, and even though I don't really know what I'm doing, everything will be okay. I/Me/Myself helps me so much specifically because I've always had a weird relationship with my gender (as many lgbtq folks have), and it really makes me feel validated. I just love the music and its message so much, and god it slaps so hard too. Love this video! I never see anyone talk about the tapeworms.

Fun fact: Will wood absolutely loves Stranger things! You can hear references to the show in some of his songs. for example the song “...Well, better than the alternative” used to be called “Millie rolls a 7” which is referencing the actress who plays 11, Millie Bobby Brown and the fact that he said he had a daughter named Millie for a year as a joke. He dose not have a daughter. Has he said he has had a daughter? Yes. Will is an interesting artist and that definitely reflects on his music.

A memento mori is not only a reminder of death, but also a reminder to make the most of the time you have left

[@_LoveLandFrog_]

I think greetings from merrybell township isn’t just about that sitcom vibe, but more about how the atomic family dynamic can be, and IS a toxic expectation for a family. Hiding everything beneath the facade of a perfect family is bound to lead to some kind of mental turmoil. You can make this into the discovery of self that will wood usually explores, like you can be accepted by the people around you at the cost of your individuality, and personal goals. I think it’s pretty neat.

[@satinizer8021]

i've known Will Wood for quite some time already, but it took me some time to listen to the normal album. idk how to explain that, but i,,, really hated it at first? was so used to Will's fast and crazy songs, that some of the flower ones really didn't vibe with me. but after giving the album another chance, i just fell in love. my personal favorite is i / me / myself. many people think it has transphobic undertones, while i (a trans guy, who used to identify as nonbinary) has never really seen that until someone pointed it out. i just saw, and still see, this song as a gender crisis song lol. i get why some poeple might think it's transphobic, especially with the "all identities are equally invalid, dont you think there's a way that you can live without it?" lines at the end, but given the context of the entire song,,, it's really fitting. Will used to identify as nonbinary for some time, until he realized that liking traditionally feminine things doesn't make him any less of a man and that he's cis, and there's nothing i can respect more. it breaks my heart to know that some of my trans siblings did actually attack him and called him transphobic or accused of faking being nb for clout. i get their anger (esp bc many people actually do fake being trans/nb or comes out as a joke) and maybe disappointment that some musican they liked isn't like them, but that's really not the way,,, i'd trust a cis person who had a gender crisis and discovered they're truly cis more, than a trans person who questions and invalidates someone's gender. i really vibe with that song, because i also like some traditionally feminine things and don't feel any less of a man because of that!!

The radiation line is a rather clever reference to the nuclear family. The album draws parallels to midcentury America and its desire for normalcy, conformity, and materialism to Wood's journey with his mental health. It's why you get references to events like the rise of Suburbia and the nuclear family, MK-Ultra, and the musical themes like disco and rock-and-roll. Marsha[...] ties those themes together with the "back in my day" lines.

Im obsessed whit his songs. I've been listening to "the song whit five names" everyday for the last month

[@comicalsquaress]

I found him originally through BlackBoxWarrior, but didn’t really think much of him before Cotard’s Solution. That song was the song that got me into him and is STILL my favorite to this day.

When I realized Homestuck music was playing in the background, I panicked a bit lol

[@amye6861]

I think THAT line in suburbia is in reference to the nuclear family idea? Especally with the opening to the track.

[@Bebebebe22-]

Bro, that's one of my most favorite songs XD. The Surburbia overture

[@reseballisho1587]

Found it funny as hell that I found him after binging tally hall and then found you through the same way KZbin has a pretty good algorithm lol

[@wahoo4369]

YES !! A WILL WOOD VIDEO... very awesome thank you very much

[@pellaw8011]

I LOVE THIS ALBUM. thank god it's getting more appreciation

[@mikesillycomedy1095]

Straight up masterpiece!

[@theredrighthandproductions]

Laplace's Angel is such an important song to me. At least based on my subjective interpretation of it, it perfectly captures the feeling of trying to come to terms with the terrible things you've done and trying to justify it to yourself as you having no other choice as a result of trauma and/or mental illness. Just really getting caught up in that loop of self justification to avoid guilt, that you gotta get out of before you can grow as a person.

I want it on vinyl so bad. Someone told me this is the Wanda vision of albums and idk how I feel about that

[@ameliathompson224]

[@mauricessillylittlechannel3696]

[@AdamAdam-wb4mo]

He actually had a band before which was called will wood and the tapeworms

[@understandable4368]

thankk you for saying outloud somesthing i had for months now listen to self-ish and cry will's name remind our brains of this album's identity

[@garythegray6929]

I don't like that I've been recommended this JUST NOW. (man I would've wanted to see it the moment it was made)

[@jaycee8624]

as a tally hall fan as well I found Will wood through Spotify recommendations. I think the first song I heard was suburbia overture and now I’m obsessed with his work haha

[@klep6719]

here i am knee deep into will wood and... do i hear..... the pesterquest theme of dave? from homestuck? ... i cant tell if i should be afraid or in awe so im subscribing? based takes too im sending this video to my local will wood enjoyers

[@george3broderick969]

I think the “He cums radiation” part is gossiping about this “chameleon peacock” (which i see as something considered beautiful but is also always blending in with the crowd) because “word gets around on hit number stations.” Also the whole “tripping balls in a casino” is referring to 2econd 2ight 2eer.

[@vii7955]

11:17 dude that part ending without the rest is so painful wtfff lmaoo

[@human4147]

learned about this album literally two days ago because some random reddit comment mentioned I / Me / Myself and now I see you made a video about it so yeah cool stuff ig

[@rjtratto2842]

im literally so happy tuat someone finally talks about this amazing album 😭

[@angles_yt]

Great video man, you made me enjoy the songs in a new way after hearing you talk about them. I hadn't noticed some of the things you pointed out.

[@algorscutula]

I don’t know if the intro was a nod to Love, Me Normally, but if it isn’t it’s a funny coincidence
