So, here we go. These are all albums that have stuck with me, that I listen to pretty regularly, and all have music that changed the way I understood music as an art and as a science. DAY 2: LIFE OF AGONY: RIVER RUNS RED I love me some heavy shit. This is one of the heaviest sounding albums ever. It&#8217;s claustrophobia inducing. But here&#8217;s the thing: A lot of heavy music is great, but lyrically, it&#8217;s disingenuous crap. Fake anger, fake pain, fake satanism, whatever. I love a good schtick, but seriously, it gets thing sometimes. This album is the dead opposite of that. This album is about some real shit, and while it&#8217;s a nominal fiction, if you stuck with LoA through the years, you might have an idea of just how close to the bone this was written. Suicide, familial alcoholism, abuse. It&#8217;s not a comfortable album, but it&#8217;s musically amazing and painfully reflective of a lot of experience. Additionally, the band were between the ages of 18 and (I think) 24 when they wrote this, and it&#8217;s an extremely mature execution of a concept album, let alone in this genre."},"content":{"rendered":"<div><img src='https:\/\/scontent.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/s720x720\/31485028_10103244582287991_4006768462088110080_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&#038;oh=75126929e8936ceae30447e0abdba1bb&#038;oe=5B9BDCD9' style='max-width:600px;' \/><\/p>\n<div>via Facebook https:\/\/ift.tt\/2KjAxxK<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>via Facebook https:\/\/ift.tt\/2KjAxxK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[11,4],"class_list":["post-3992","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-facebook","tag-ifttt"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifestream.hausderluege.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3992","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifestream.hausderluege.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifestream.hausderluege.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifestream.hausderluege.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifestream.hausderluege.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3992"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lifestream.hausderluege.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3992\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3993,"href":"https:\/\/lifestream.hausderluege.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3992\/revisions\/3993"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lifestream.hausderluege.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3992"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifestream.hausderluege.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3992"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lifestream.hausderluege.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3992"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
