Maybe I should have said something like... artists should be careful about going after ordinary human beings, especially when it concerns divisive subject matter.Timotheus wrote: ↑Sat Feb 26, 2022 1:25 pmArt should go after people if the person who's making the art feels personally obligated to do.

I can't think of a single song I skip on either album.
Also unpopular - I'd love to see them get more political like they did with TLH. Go deep down the rabbit hole. Really go after the anti-vaxxers the way they did with climate change deniers on Writing on the Wall.
For example, going after those who abuse children (The Unholy, SMKC) is very different to going after people who make different medical decisions.
