alienasu amazing emo record, short tracks and overall runtime but always fun and feels satisfying to listen to front to back. Just the right amount of edge, high energy, catchy as fuck. also super queer which is a bonus Favorite track: Armageddon Now.

Tay TH are one of the most fun bands out there. Their music is fun, their aesthetics are fun, they're incredibly fun people. It feels good to listen to their music, and you can tell they're putting their whole hearts into every track. It's a recipe for great music and a good time. Catch them on tour, you won't regret it. Favorite track: Getting Bitter.

therealglueman Yeah, it's only two tracks but both are bangers. The Teenage Halloween train is on track & just left the station. It's already obvious from its low, powerful roar
This engine is lovingly kept, all parts cleaned & well-oiled, everything kept finely tuned for peak output. I'm damn hyped for the journey ahead

Supertrans 01:03
My identity’s to blame Confusing traits, deciphered Gender brings denial There’s butterflies up in my stomach now Empathy comes from within And when the anchor drops You cant let go Of your imagined label I think that it's a fable Clear it off the table Take my identity seriously Empathy comes from within And when the anchor drops Let go
2.
Takeaway 02:32
Should be optimistic I don't do enough work Self awareness is a tragedy From the pot I stir Wishing I was motivated to work on my life I wake up with chronic pain, I pray for the afterlife It’s survival It's absurd Given a hand Nobody could revive you, man It’s survival It's absurd Given a hand It’s all lead to nothing I’ve never been outspoken I try not to be obsessive Generational trauma has made me depressive All I want in life is control of my destiny I want to learn to drive the car, leave the passenger seat Take away my filter The words might seem off kilter Take away my filter And shut your mouth
3.
Doctor 02:49
Torturing myself is a norm I’ve known so well There’s snakes in the grass following you to hell I’m just saying please Please dont forget about me It’s not my choice to live in frailty What did you find out? I’m paranoid, someone grab me out this void I need a doctor to cure my pain It’s a nightmare I’m living in shame You’re not alone Cuz I feel the same I need a doctor to cure my pain It’s a nightmare I’m living in shame You're not alone And I need to change One sided friends Believing there’s two in the end Proven wrong by context clues don’t mend I don't wanna, I don't wanna I can't say no Even when I know I’m right Living here makes me feel like a cenobite
4.
Maybe if you tried You could give it up and realize You’re picking all the wrong fights You don’t consider I’m getting bitter Each and every time Spend your days waiting for the next one to pass Trust yourself to fuck it up again and again Tell me, tell me what you want me to say Help me, cause I feel like running away Last year’s wishes have sent you spinning You’re losing your last chance Maybe if you really tried You could see yourself through my eyes Maybe (Maybe) if you really tried You can give it up and realize Spend your days waiting for the next one to pass Trust yourself to fuck it up again and again Tell me, tell me what you want me to say Tell me, tell me what you want me to Tell me what you want me to say
5.
Melodrama 01:58
Life for me is just melodrama Life’s a simulation in a diorama It’s meta to say that for a matter of fact Taking chances trying to believe you Honest with my words trying not to redo Choose to say it all Pick me up when i fall Keep my brain intact It's all a fake act So I'll leave Finding myself constantly denying That I overthink things without even trying Pushed against the wall, when I could’ve had it all When your mind thinks always ‘bout survival Anticipatory before your arrival Tension gets the best, and you get all the rest Who am I foolin’? Will I lay down? You’re not nonexistent You’re a proper noun
6.
Good Time 02:10
I can’t trust as much Because I’ve been so lonesome For a feeling that’s way too much to overcome Voices tell me no Try to crash airplanes in a bad dream Grotesque schemes no one respects my boundaries I agree to disagree I’m here for a good time Slow down, you’ve been boiling my blood Now I’m on the run All my life I just feel embarrassed Like when i had to come out to my parents Oh, voices tell me go I’m here for a good time Slow down, you’ve been boiling my blood And you’re overdone And I need to prove something I need to feel something Darling, I’m choking
7.
Sights Down 02:49
Sights down Eyes are closing under Can’t look the other way At that behavior Stop idolizing false grandeur Imbalanced and fucked Touchdown, tackle your own advice Save face, you gotta make this right In time I won’t find a way To destroy what i create Like a god A deity that made us out of clay And I won’t follow the herd My last laugh won’t be unheard I’ll just choke on what I said last weekend Right now, put your emotion in it That sound of the whistling wind to start the day I wanna just run away I feel betrayed Rebound, rising from the New Jersey ground Dirt mounds, litter these suburban towns Run down Sickening, irrelevant You won’t value yourself You’re in your element, recycling You won’t value yourself You can’t be saved
8.
Trees gone to your head Suffering in a web I want to be humble Inherently self serving Not proud to be this way Psychotherapy I don’t wanna reject the thoughts that mend me I could never charm Could be good to speak up Maybe just show honesty Avoid armageddon now In the end you’ll leave Get over it in time Even when you were entitled to my mind Crazy fucking fears Pin the tail on the queers It’s been hard to process Shift your brain in gear Realized I’d walk So that you can run Painted nails on the table, tell me I’m a good son It's hard to find a genuine connection When nobody offers you protection You don’t have to strive for perfection But be prepared for the reckoning Archives of sadness Methods of madness Deprecation will watch you die
9.
Say It 02:23
There’s a line that gets crossed Every time we go out You try to be nice But you begin to doubt That you’ll ever escape The mansplains, the lies, the double downs I don’t know your name Or your face But we’ve done this before I’m having such a good time Til you walk through the door Then you talk at me incessantly You don’t see That I don’t want to spend my Friday night Looking over my shoulder for your eyes Searching for a place to hide Making myself smaller for your pride Now say it like you mean it That you’re so impressed That you’re sorry for interrupting me again The first time I excused it But it’s rude to assume That I’m a roadie, a groupie Some won’t admit it But you’re guilty too Even some of you in this room Cuz I don’t want to spend my Friday night Looking over my shoulder for your eyes Searching for a place to hide Making myself smaller for your pride Now say it like you mean Just say it You confront your demons I just stay inside If I had a better option I’d give you a piece of my mind Now say it like you mean it Now say it like you mean it Now say it like you mean it
10.
Travelin' On 02:32
Travelin’ on I just lost my breath It’s scaring me to death As I turn off the lights tonight Got mindlessly high Now my mouth is dry Goodbye Call the press, a musician’s facing death And you support their rage Exploit myself, with my declining health Fading slowly, having hope in time I want to learn to climb But I don’t want to try I hate that my body’s not working right The steps keep piling on, scale’s always wrong So long I’ve got battle scars, but don’t complain a lot I can't leave the bar, so I'm utterly distraught Tracking down the footsteps of dirt that I create My heart’s on the ground, I think I’m profound I’m no saint Call the press, a musician’s facing death There’s flowers on their grave Exploit myself, with my declining health Fading slowly, it’s unholy There’s no hope this time
11.
Cut The Ties 01:48
I would wait for this Trailing thoughts that loop within Try to do my best to keep my head up high As ideations take, my identity will break Suicide it wont deny me for this ride I need to tell the truth Don’t break it Running just to grace it Towers of emotions, that we’ll never face and I know I’m gonna learn to cut the ties Find the right words to say Breathe and slowly decay When I know I’m permanently sore Putting up walls and locking doors Begging for independence From my own self hate Running past that tollbooth Got a diamond in my shoe Dreaming to get by Abstaining from getting high Drug induced railing of doubt Try to force some sleep I need minimal upkeep Every moment I neglect this troubled life
12.
Lights Out 02:02
In shock, I can’t take things too personally I can’t grasp, the fact that things are not in my own hands Shut your mouth Control freak, I’ve got the OCD and I can’t sleep What we sow is what we reap The bags under my eyes are muscles counting sheep Writing down my thoughts until the lights out You gotta turn it off cuz I can’t come down Cigarettes, fried food Coping mechanisms Positive attitude, empathetic Tracing my decisions
13.
Oh The Drama 02:54
Oh the drama of failing to mend together hearts A fire that can start, you watch it burn You take precaution, perfection isn't everything Let’s see what we can bring Back to life Searching for answers just Waiting for a big break to take flight We rise, there is nothing to despise And it gets terrifying how, all the happy people sing And get pushed forward To get pushed back Like glue we stick together through thick and thin Try to be dependent And not fall off the grid And get pushed forward To get pushed back I get pushed forward To get pushed back Till You Return
