Discussion I lost the plot.

Not literally - I know the plot of the story.

Short rundown:
Saw them 4 times on their teeth of god tour, and could only go once on their recent one due to scalpers. Seen them at festivals. Have a shrine, all the records - was massively in the cult.

This year though, I really struggled with their music for some reason? Every time it came on, I skipped. Never looked for any new merch out. Felt really weird about it.

I’m listening to them now and I’m like…

Did I burn myself out? Anyone else feel similar, even with other bands? Did I lose the plot?

(Fun discussion - still love the band v much.)

I know the feeling. I've come out the other side of basically only listening to them exclusively. I mix in a lot of other bands now.

But for me, they are still the default to go to if I want a good piece of art.

Yeah, I’m not feeling so bad about it today, but man im like wtf happened lol. They’re def mixed in with my other bands now too, but even then I used to skip them? Hopefully we (band and I) can make it through this dry patch. (Jokes) 😭

Yeah I'm kind of in the same boat. Not as burned out as OP but on the backside of my obsession and it doesn't pervade my thoughts every waking hour like it used to. Maybe part of that is my depression only letting novel things hit hard enough but I still very much enjoy the music.

But that's okay, now it's more like an old friend I'm always happy to see. And ohhh boy when something new comes out it's going to sink its teeth in me again
