Let The Records Play

Not exactly apocalyptic theme supporting title or artwork...

By far my least favorite track name so far

Could end up being the best tune, though, shit... who knows

Even the artist seems uninspired by these titles.

Remember the unending barrage of dumb jokes and pearl-clutching about Mind Your Manners before we had any context? Let's not do that again.

C'mon ed what kind of title is that?

Though the first thing it reminded me of was insignificance , that was 'let the song protest' though.

what's wrong with these titles? And the artwork? I think they are pretty cool.


This place can be insufferable at times.

Seriously? Who said anything about "these titles" or "the artwork"? What's being expressed is that today's titles are lame. The rest have been awesome. The artwork today hasn't been great either but it's not bad.

Was that a lyric? If so, this one could refer back to it. I hope.

I still suspect these are not the real titles, and somehow the LecherousLittleAss has managed to hack PJ's social media accounts to leak fake titles.

He's taking this trolling thing to a whole new level.

There's something about the use of the word "let" here. Like "let it be." It's already over, go ahead, let the records play as the world dies.

if this whole apocalyptic theme is valid, which is a big if, i can see this as a "sit back and watch the world burn" kind of message

The record could be something that is being played on repeat, every few minutes, for years after the Zombie Apocalypse, asking for survivors to come to a certain area for refuge and safe harbouring
Spoiler: show
or further slaughtering

aw huh
