butterflies part 2 is quite a daring song - *collecting butterflies* is a common metaphor for abusing girls (*collecting pretty things*) (see the book The Collector by John Fowles) - i thought it was quite interesting that part 1 was about knowing a relationship wasn't right for her but still feeling attracted to the person and having "butterflies" that made leaving hard, and then part 2 was about how her lover was treating girls *like butterflies*. so interesting how she is able to turn things on its head

i'll care about the interlude the way i have burnt norton seared into my brain

it's art and anyway if everyone likes it maybe it's not that good

redacted gonna get shut down again

BB BENDER

i feel like she might've not even noticed that pattern

so a day like this doesn't rly happen every pre-release?

Honeymoon Born To Die Kill Kill Norman fucking Rockwell Cruel World White Dress Text Book Ride Love

nothing is real, and god is dead

i can't believe plastiscguy is a producer on bb

dead in the gutter according to an insider i can't remember

OHHH MY GOD beautiful work bby

kind of hoping the snippets are fake just bc even though i have no self control, i wanna be surprised by the actual album

i don't think so?

i can't find the thunder snippet on redacted i can't handle it, it's 8:30am, i haven't slept

YEAH

agreed! idk if anyone gets this vibe but it so seems genuinely respectful to make text book the first track. i feel like it's so powerful and moving to have the statement BLM in the first track

leak dealer to confirm your credibility

because of you could squeeze in there somewhere

fuck we need a new pre-release thread already

still can't believe we got pranked by ben and ed

@lustforlife wanna share acronyms of titles? make us guess

but how does it relate to text book
