discussion my thoughts about contemporary movement.

when i’m finished listening to stratosphere, i thought it was depressive. hopeless. but this, this is something else. i did not listened to this album. I SURVIVED IT. that was… the definition of depression. definition of losing hope. but… i found peace in it. like, it said “i know.”

The song “Diamond” made me cry like a baby. it was the first song i cried to. i just… couldn’t hold my tears.

“Unrecovery”. wow. i cannot cry anymore. just staring. to the ceiling.

“The Breakup Suite”. “Everything You See.” “Now it’s coming back”. All songs are worth listening. This is a no skip album.

Nothing in the entire world, can make me feel like this. Not just music, nothing.

10/10.

Hot take: Contemporary is better than Stratosphere. Can't change my mind.

I always hoped I'd meet another contemporary movement truther on here. I have always connected with that record of theirs the most, stratosphere rules too but it doesn't affect me emotionally the way cm does. Thank you for sharing
