welp
Breach went #1.
why did this make me so happy i teared up a little? NOT A LOT. a little.
10 years ago i didn’t even really understand what a #1 album meant, but then ever since blurryface i kind of really wanted it again, but never got it.
then i stopped wanting it and just wrote an album for you. for us.
and that’s when you guys showed up bigger than ever. you did this. buying vinyl, or a box set, or going to listening events, or streaming and telling other people. thank you so much.
this is the most proud i’ve ever been to be a part of this band.
if you only knew how many industry people are confused right now.
wait, what? yeah. we did.
please don’t participate in any fan voting things. i don’t like it when anyone treats you like a crop to farmed.
i know some of you just want to show how much you care for this band and this music, but trust me, i feel it every day already.
it sucks, but we may have crossed in to a “proof of work” era.
keep the receipts. record the process.
i don’t think we’ll need to prove everything right away, but maybe we need to be ready to defend ourselves if we have to?
it’s a weird time for art.
