I'm the odd man out, sorry. The feels in this music feel patronizing and enraging. I understand your intent, but the calmest of us need... that world we don't understand, the frustrated world of those before and after, the rage and the sex and the lies, the filth, the gore, the tears, and the bloodshed! The thousand of Huns to sack our Rome and the smallpox to infect our people; the gas to burn our lungs and the needles to end it in indignity; the meat between our teeth, the blood in both my veins and yours, and everything horrible all at once to make Goddamned sure we are still able to live, even though we are miserable just by making sure others suffer as we do. Then, once we've seen it, we can help them, and their soft, damp eyes can be as much a comfort to us as our bleeding hearts can be to them.

I understand where you're coming from - but this wasn't meant for "the calmest of us". It was meant for me - in those moments when I'm not exactly calm. These songs are songs I can relate to. I don't think they're patronising at all.

However, if you want music like you're describing... can I recommend Nine Inch Nails, Combichrist, Terrorfakt, Otep or Cannibal Corpse?
