lyrics
TEENAGE BLOOD RUNT
dude, dude....I, like, can't feel my face
can't get rid of it, can't deal with it
won't live without it, can't live with it
total non-existence, total deprivation
all-pervasive subtle wretchedness
big uncertainty, bigger loneliness
no understanding, no companionship
no easy answers, no free pass
freezing outsider, cozy insider
from the nothingness comes the knowledge
big selfishness, big enlightenment
feel the cool boredom, do the nothingness
feel the cool boredom, do the emptiness
so don't pat yourself on the back just yet
or beat yourself up with regret
you look good, but your shit stinks and
you're not bad, but you're not great either
there is no benevolent forest god
that's either cruel or fair, that's callous or cares
you're not alone but you're on your own
is it a cruel joke? a cosmic hoax?
a ten dimensional ecstasy, it just depends on how you see it
a tree's advice is that is has none
are you a teenage or a setting sun?
(blood of the runt!!!)

about
NETHERLANDS Brooklyn, New York
formed by Timo Ellis in 2010, NETHERLANDS magic lies in the contrasts it sets up: falsetto vocals, odd time signatures, and haunting hooks transform their monstrous power into weirdly delicious and dynamic songs. The overall effect is not unlike that of Swans and Dio playing simultaneously, atop an actual mountain of MDMA. ... more

I have yet to listen to this entire album without skipping a single track. Like an enchanter, the album keeps your attention with its effortless flow throughout, despite having crushing riffs, progressive breakdowns, and epic-length songs.
