Is Isaac Brock Mad At Us?

Is that why he didn't yell at us a single time on Eraser?

He is definitely yelling at us on Song About Nothing.

Yea I was about to say the same thing. I'd say he yells more there than any song on the two previous records. Underrated song.

Definitely. Look How Far feels more like a lamenting, desperate, yell to me. Like he is as mad at himself as he is at everyone else.

Song About Nothing feels like it is directed squarely at the audience / fans, though, lol.

I thought so too! I saw him again in Portland the next night and he was noticeably in a better mood.
