As incredible as this album is, knowing what Alexis Marshall has done, the lyrics feel like nothing more than slam poetry written by an abuser trying to justify himself.
FBTMOF are like the most 2000s band ever sound-wise, and yet they still pull it off very well.
I love how seamlessly the band blends these weird guitar lines and throat-shredding screams with very melancholic melodies. There's an attention to detail on this whole record that you don't really find in a lot of bands of this nature.
I love screamo
I love post-rock
I live in Virginia
I love City of Caterpillar
The only thing I knew prior about These Arms Are Snakes is that Botch’s bassist was in it, but goddamn, this is some really good sass
