Founders Of Ruin - Movement I: Concept

Morning Breaks

• Looks long. Time to gear up.

• Playing in the bedroom of your friend’s older brother, whom your parents don’t want you to spend time with, but they never say it directly.

• Songwriting formula discussed in the first band practice - chugs, drum triggers, noodling, and a touch of musical theater. Sold.

• Also, can someone explain to me the phenomenon of minivans on Utah freeways speeding and driving aggressively? Doesn’t fit.

Reclaim

• It’s gonna be rad if one of my patients walks into my office and I’m doing this review.

• From Autumn American Fork To Ashes

• I can’t tell if this is tattoos and beards metal or Pantene Pro-V hair and Dracula cosplay metal.

• Cradle of Filth Farmington

Virtue

• Drummer’s legs are for sure tired by now.

• Ooooh, non-screaming singing.

• Are they saying “virgin?” I hope they are. I’m always gonna sing that line as “virgin”

• Obligatory slower part with modulation

• That song was longer than the line at Swig in Cedar Hills after middle school gets out for the day

Concept of the Void

• Finishing strong

• This isn’t music to go fishing to

• Most dynamically interesting song on the album.

• Loving the guitars on this one.

• Quesadillas.

I give this album a brand new box of multicolored Sharpies, 3 black bandanas from Deseret Industries, tapioca pudding after dental work, a loose 9-volt battery, a cancelled endocrinology appointment, and a borrowed Hulu subscription
