OKAY OKAY HERE WE GO, HORIZONS FIRST LISTEN / FIRST IMPRESSIONS!

Unveiling The Architecture: creepy vibes, I love it! The pulse-like sounds?? Very nice, foreboding

The Breach: we already know this one but I still love the MV for how gripping it is. The chorus must be my favorite part!

Otherworldly: a good song but doesn't particularly blow me away for now? This might change with repeated listens of course

Icarus: The intro??? Holy shit! Are those violins in the background?? The a capella and breakdown towards the end 🤌🏻🤌🏻

Earthrise: my love!! When I heard this the first time I already loved it, this will definitely become one of my favorites off the album

Leaving The World Behind: the chorus SLAPS, there's such a raw kind of feeling to Dustin's voice, almost like a strain. Also have a weak spot for symbol forming downwards and legit looking like vampire fangs at first 😂

Devolution: the strings in the background!! God I love strings in rock music. Other than that nothing particularly comes to mind

Annihilated Love: BEAUTIFUL IM SHOOK. The "now you're out for blood" line had me 😩😩🤌🏻🤌🏻

Alchemy: just more and more in awe of Dustin's lyrics if even possible 😭 "you hit like chloroform"?? Come on. Also the end is giving me the creeps 😳 "you're about to be amazed" yes sir I already am pls stop now

Disappear: great transition from Alchemy into this one, but this one HURTS, it's kind of giving me Let It Die vibes? 🤔 Once again, the strings!!! In the outro!! I love 😭😭

This Endless Endeavor: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH my emotions!! I'm in a glass case of emotions!!

Symbiotic: Yessss fuck the intro is amazing!! Scratch that, the whole song is amazing. This is going into the top 5 list, i can already see myself singing along to the chorus 🤩

Dreamcatcher: Kind of like Otherworldly, I enjoy it but it doesn't particularly knock my socks off

Tunnelvision: Uuuggghhhh the beat setting in right as he says "marching to the beat" 😩 the little dip in synth in the chorus?? I mean fuck yes 💯

Infected: this one we already know too and I still love it as much as I did when I first heard it! ("Get what you wanted" - *ding* - "Anarchy ✨" still makes me cackle 😂)

Something Wicked: ok listen I was so excited for this song simply because Starset putting "wicked" into a song title was making me expect vibes similar to Perfect Machine or Die For You or Last To Fall, but they totally pulled an Uno Reverse on my ass. This is like... the darker, audibly more desperate bigger sister of Diving Bell? Does that make any sense at all?? 😂 Regardless, the outro is giving me chills, absolutely love this song, was not disappointed.

What are y'all's Top 5 (or Top 3) so far? 🤩 Mine have got to be Earthrise, Icarus, Symbiotic, Tunnelvision and Something Wicked.

#My top 5 songs are #Tunnelvision #Not sure how to explain it but the viiiibes #De-evolution #Icarus #Obviously #Disappear #And dreamcatcher

Having a child is a long term commitment to a heavy, heavy responsibility which demands energy, attention, and time.

To have a child is to bring an entire person into the world. This person can not consent to this. This person is inherently vulnerable, hardwired to depend on you, and must be taught the skills neccessary to one day care for themself.

When you have a child, that child's well being is entirely on you. It's your job to keep them safe, to keep them fed, cloathed, and happy. It's your job to make sure they feel loved.

When you choose to have a child, you are signing up to spend years and years of resources on that child. That is your choice. The child was not alive and could not agree to your decision to drag them out of the void of nonexistence. The child was not asked if they wanted to experience an entire lifetime of conciousness, and all of the potential suffering and agony that comes with that.

That decision is entirely that of the parent who has made the choice to have a child.

You are not "granting the gift of life." You are not doing this hypothetical child a favor by having them. You are doing this for you, because you wanted to be a parent. You wanted to have the experience of raising a child.

This means that if you have a child, you owe that child. You owe them time, and love, and safety, and care. You asked for this, it is now your responsibly to follow through.

Children are not a toy. They aren't a fancy new car for you to parade to your friends. They aren't a fashion accessory for you to put on the shelf when you lose interest. They aren't a mini you. They aren't a magic cure-all to your trauma, and they aren't there to fill some void in your chest.

They are a vulnerable person who is easily abused and neglected and who will be at your mercy throughout much of their development period.

A parent owes their child. Failing to follow through with the responsibility they signed up for is a failing on the parent's part. Making the child feel guilty for the crime of existing is the fault of the parent. A child is never a burden.

Abusive and neglectful parents are failures as parents. They could not do the bare basics of what the job entails and then they blame the child for a crime that the parents themselves committed.
