I really adore the song generals until the chorus, which I hate.

The manufactured call and response part is pretty cringe-worthy.

The aesthetics of this definitely appeal to my personal tastes.

I fucking love the sentiments so much that I don't care. Also I think it's knowingly cliched.

No, I definitely liked it. I'm gonna need to keep listening to for the next week or so to get some more concrete opinions about it, but the first listen was very enjoyable.

Yeah, I very rarely give more than vague opinions/notions on anything after the first listen or two. I like to sit with it for a few days and several listens and let my thoughts gel.

I'll need more time and listens to get the puns too. But I'll get there.

it's such a clunky melody in what is otherwise a song that feels so smoothly dirty

I just like 'You wanna fix it / Or fuck it up / Come on fix it / 'Cus it's been fuuuuuuuuuucked.' So much fun to sing.

I've scratched my head at a Stip opinion or two, but this one might make me bleed. The fact that Pete even kinda agrees has turned this today upside down for me.

I have to rethink... everything.
