Jan 30, 2026 at 6:56 PM Hey y’all. To prevent further derailing (at least in the short term) I’ve given a threadban to BM and Zeb. I moved most of the posts from the past day to a separate thread in OT, so if you want to keep that discussion going, that’ll be available. I’ll be discussing with staff, so if any changes are made(like the length of the thread ban) , you’ll be notified.
Jan 30, 2026 at 7:12 PM @Wreckless - Distorted Reality Favorites: Dispossession, If You Are To Bloom, In The Mouth A Desert, Fine Again, Afterglow, Butterflies Least Favorites: Leader of the Pack, Open Your Eyes, Bury me deep inside, Through and Through RIPPER ROO’S RATING: 7/10 This might be one of Wreckless’s riskiest and most creative tapes yet. God d--- there are some crazy instrumentals on here. “Untitled” and “Dispossession” tell you that right away. Some of these tracks have very little vocals and that was interesting for sure. “Untitled” and “Dust” make sense as openers and closers. I love the vocal tone and atmosphere on “If You Are To Bloom”, it’s right up my alley. The melodies on “Afterglow” really hooked me too. “Fine Again” has some real a--- lyrics: “[Verse 1] It seems like every day's the same And I'm left to discover on my own It seems like everything is grey And there's no colour to behold [Pre-Chorus] They say it's over, and I'm fine again, yeah Try to stay sober, feels like I'm dyin' here [Chorus] And I am aware now of how everything's gonna be fine One day, too late, I'm in h--- I am prepared now, seems everyone's gonna be fine One day, too late, just as well” When it comes to my list of least favorites, those songs just weren’t for me. I just didn’t vibe with the vocal tones of any of those vocalists. Plus “Leader of the Pack” just feels too country to me, I don’t f--- with the slight twang in this instance. I wouldn’t say they’re bad songs though. Overall this is a good tape. There were only those 4 misses for me. Other than that this is a sick tape. I think reality is definitely distorted somehow. @AOTWClub
Jan 30, 2026 at 7:15 PM I got a few hour stretch where I can listen to this properly with zero interruptions so I'll post for definite tomorrow.
Jan 30, 2026 at 7:21 PM Nice, but why did you make a thread out of my post @Yeez ? Could you please delete it? I’d prefer either keeping the posts here or removing them entirely. I don’t want my post to become a separate thread that sparks more debate.
Jan 30, 2026 at 7:26 PM Yeah just delete if possible Yeez. I don't want to keep logging in and being involved in toxic negativity 24/7 Banter and some s--- posts is ok but too much toxicity is bad for the soul. You get what you put into this world man.
Jan 30, 2026 at 8:16 PM Thanks for the review. Rock definitely isn’t for everyone, glad you could enjoy some songs. I have to admit, I always had a thing for melodramatic music. Thanks for the review, I agree with your take on the subtle country vibe in Leader of the Pack. Also Welcome back
Jan 30, 2026 at 8:29 PM No problem, I thought now would be a good time to post the review to settle things down a bit here lol. Yeah it’s not that I dislike country, it’s just the country vibe in Leader of the Pack didn’t quite vibe with me. And thanks for the welcome back, I feel refreshed on this forum after taking a break. I was starting to not enjoy posting for a while there.
