just like i did for vol I, my thoughts on each track--
drop dead is sooo underrated. i love it so much & especially that the mechs just took a game they liked, made a fan song and made it canon is so silly and fun like hell yeah

my absolute favorite mechs album. all my favorite things!! drumbot brian, arthurian legends, polyamorous bisexuals & transgender sons, cowboys & banjos, drumbot brian, drumbot brian, drumbot brian, drumbot bria

i fucking love prometheus so much!!!! such a fun track that doesnt hold too much weight to be apart of ... read more
