+ a track from Oneohtrix Point Never's _Magic Oneohtrix Point Never_. [bandcamp link](https://oneohtrixpointnever.bandcamp.com/album/magic-oneohtrix-point-never)
% id = "01J8ZKEB7K4P813BZR0KP66XP4"
- by the way I'm listening to Magic OPN right now as I'm writing this. _Tales from the Trash Stratum_ just started playing and
*(once again)*
I thought I'd gotten a notification on Discord.
I swear to fucking God, this shit gets me every time. xD
damn you, Daniel Lopatin!! (keep up the awesomeness!!!)
% id = "01J8ZKEB7K93RZ3610AVSX9P0J"
- after listening to the Cool Protrusions episode where he does the album commentary on Again I can't unhear [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bc7uNBSEIHU&t=2097s) from _Imago_. lmao
% id = "01J8ZKEB7KRRA92Z9W0TCWBAQW"
- I remember listening to this album for the first time way back in 2021.
% id = "01J8ZKEB7KQGHP4YQQ579TTW3N"
+ it was my first OPN album.
I discovered it through [False Noise covering his _Lost But Never Alone_](https://soundcloud.com/false-noise/lost-but-never-alone).
% id = "01J8ZKEB7K9P1CYJ6XQDDDYJ5T"
- it's a great cover, you should listen to it.
% id = "01J8ZKEB7KMYP6S6CXW576XA6Z"
+ I really didn't like it at the time, but I've been listening to it on and off, and after three more years it just hits differently.
% id = "01J8ZKEB7KHYAD3MJTFWWZQKXR"
- it's probably me having gotten used to the super experimental nature of his music, by listening through his other works.
% id = "01J8ZKEB7K4KDV503BYKJWVJKS"
- so back to 2021: I was listening to that album sitting in the back seat during the road trip, and then _I Don't Love Me Anymore_ started playing.
I was like, "finally, something good!" and 30 seconds later I was like, "fuck you, OPN!"
% id = "01J8ZKEB7KAGMBHAQXM39VGA71"
- my mind was like, "how could you ruin your awesome track with these vocals?????"
- I take a much different approach to listening to music nowadays.
there's meaning behind these distorted vocals.
there's a _vibe_ OPN was trying to craft here.
% id = "01J8ZKEB7K5FXDW7SS04DCW8X3"
- these are vocals that just _scream_ "I don't love myself."
% id = "01J8ZKEB7KWJ4H7G50EJ05RE8C"
- trying to hide your real voice from everyone around you, so you don't have to hear yourself
% id = "01J8ZKEB7KFMMNTJDXD06ZTKJE"
- ...or is it that your voice now sounds like this in your head?
% id = "01J8ZKEB7K4763VJE5W3GFGZ33"
- when did it become so horrible and distorted?
