Awful cover and 6 minutes of "NO YOU SHUT THE gently caress UP DAD". Nice first shot.

People don't like the art? It's the Storm Thorgersonest art possible without being a massive sculpture in the middle of a desert. It's cool

You're wrong. For starters, there's nothing floating in mid-air with a flabbergasted passerby staring at it, or a normal person with a normal thing that is improbably large.

I'd classify this as "post-stroke Thorgerson-esque"

Of course, stadium concerts were always fascist rallies. Roger Waters of Pink Floyd realised this and wrote an entire album about it. In "In the Flesh", Nazi-like banners fall from the ceiling and the singer in the band, a sort of psuedo-Roger, marches out and machine-guns the audience:

It's still cheesy as gently caress, but at least it knows what the gently caress it's doing, at least it has a point - and in 1979, it was a major risk, a challenging and sort of frightening album.

oh it still had its' moments in 2010-2013. During Run Like Hell for instance, I was enjoying the hell out of myself, then had to stop and say "wait, *should* I be enjoying this?". Right about 5:32 here, that happened.

Relevant since Muse was trying to do their own copy of The Wall 2010-2013's staging during the 2nd Law tour :v:

That's the best new Depeche Mode song in years.

I also ruined Reapers for the wife today by pointing out how easily Madonna's "Express Yourself" could be sung to the chorus

Reapers will be forever ruined as "that song where you can easily sing Madonna's 'Express Yourself' over the chorus" for me.

"Save Me" may actually be better than "Revolt".

I listened to this album a lot the first week or two. Heard Dead Inside on the radio yesterday and realized that I had completely forgotten it even existed.

On the one hand, missing this tour isn't so bad since Drones is a poo poo album and that setlist is largely garbage.

On the other hand, Apocalypse Please.
