GOODNIGHT HYPNOPOMP by STOMACH BOOK

I've really been enjoying this albumn, especially lately with... everything going on. It's loud, it's intense, it's emotional, it's angry. It's an albumn which has perfectly captured emotions that I wish I could express so easily. I've had problems with emotional repression and muting for a very long time, in large part thanks to suffering from depression. The songs on this make me want to yell along with the lyrics, really let the feelings finally show, but every time I struggle to get it out. I don't raise my voice often, hardly at all. Nowadays the only time is when I'm on my own, in the car, ranting to myself about whatever bullshit is on my mind. That fury and anger comes through all at once in messy uncontrolled yelling that fries my vocal chords. This albumn just, perfectly harnesses that feeling for me.

Selecting my favorites from this albumn is tough, as I really like pretty much every song for their own reasons. One song that I find myself coming back to often is Let You Down. It goes through such a rollercoaster of raw emotion that I can't stop myself from cranking the volume and singing along with. It's a 9 minute long song, which is another feature of it I personally enjoy (love my longer songs). Otherwise, there are several points of the song where she's clearly thrashing her vocals by screaming with the raw emotion. It's powerful.
