I finally listened to it. I think it's great as well!

I've always kind of been a casual fan, but I'll definitely listen to this album again.

And that video.

To be honest, so have I in recent years. But I think this one will stick around.

Quote:

For those wondering:

“I’ve always liked the Rick Springfield video for ‘Bop ‘Till You Drop’. A reptilian overlord managing his minions gets overthrown by his workforce. He’s kind of trying to keep them in line, but one guy breaks into song and mass rebellion ensues. From the overlord’s perspective, that day was a pretty bad day. I always thought that was funny. So ‘555’ sees me cast as a galactic evil master, overseeing an army of cloned species doing my bidding – this is the only life they know, joining me in song in this post-apocalyptic dystopia.” - Jim Adkins

The video is a science-fiction post-apocalyptic nightmare filled with clones and an evil galactic master played by Jimmy Eat World frontman Jim Adkins... It’s about resisting accepted norms but also the fallout that can cause. (According to AltPress)

from the comments.

Sounds interesting.

**Violent Delights** · 10-21-2019, 11:57 AM

But have you listened to the album yet?!

**fictitious ways** · 10-21-2019, 06:01 PM

That makes more sense now.

**Violent Delights** · 10-22-2019, 12:48 PM

nothing to do with drugs at all.

**fictitious ways** · 10-23-2019, 03:28 PM

Props for creativity.

**Violent Delights** · 10-24-2019, 12:01 PM

the last thing I'd have expected.

quin0611 · 10-24-2019, 07:52 PM

Only a few songs not the while album. So far my favs songs are Love Never, Criminal Engery, and Surviving!!!

I do also like 555 and All The Way (Stay). The 555 video is cool.

Good choices, the rest will probably grow on you.

Congratulations took me a few listens.

quin0611 · 10-28-2019, 08:55 PM

Thanks so true Congratulations is going to take me a few more listens.

**Violent Delights** · 10-29-2019, 01:14 PM

As long as you like it as a whole.

quin0611 · 10-31-2019, 09:10 PM
