How the new album is making me feel:

OPVS NOIR Vol. 2 - Lord of the Lost (2025)

[lady-owlet]

OPVS NOIR Vol.3 is finally here, and after listening to it I suddenly had a thought I'd like to discuss.

(Disclaimer it's purely my personal perception and subjective view)

Despite liking most songs individually I had a trouble listening to the whole album. Like, something didn't settle in me, I felt like different songs had different vibe and I couldn't listen to them one after another smoothly, I couldn't perceive them all together.

And after listening to the 3rd volume and having a short conversation with a friend about it I explained to myself why this happened.

Chris once told sth like that not all the songs must be perceived as their personal experience/feelings, but more like stories they tell (source: trust me bro, i tried to find that fragment to quote it accurately, i believe it was one of the answers to questions in shorts, but i didn't manage to find it. It also could be on a q&a stream?..). But OPVS NOIR, on the opposite, has an ungodly amount of songs that express their feelings in direct words. A lot of them, but not all.

So from my point of view OPVS NOIR has two categories of songs: personal ones and stories from the sideview. Personal are ones that express their own feelings in a direct way almost without any cover, like My sanctuary, I will die in it, One of us, My funeral, Square one etc., while "stories" perceived more as, well, stories of some lyrical heroes band tell about without obvious direct connection to themselves, like Light can only shine in the darkness, Ghosts, When did the love break. Being mixed all together they make me always having to switch between these two points of view, that confuses my perception.

So yeah, i just divided all the songs into two separate playlists, let's say, vol. [personal] and vol.[dark tales]. And this way it finally worked for me. Listening to the songs of the same point of view finally helped me to catch the flow and damn it made me cry. I felt how emotionally heavy it actually is.

Of course there are some songs that have both vibes, I tossed them according to my own perception, some ended up in both playlists. The most interesting one in my opinion is Winter's Dying Heart, because it clearly is something deeply personal for Chris, but it well-masked as a ballad story. Maybe it shows that the perception of the song is a matter of how much inside information about it you're given? And also Bazaar Bizarre! (i adore how they shorten it to "Bza Bzaa") It goes well both as personal admiration with darkness/invitation to step into it with them and kinda a story of itself too? They are kinda presented in the song as people, "we", but the subject of the song is much bigger and consuming than them.

And Square one is unexpectedly such a closing song for the playlist of personal ones! It's so deceivingly light, but sad, hopeful, but a bit tired?.. It feels like they've took a journey into the depths of their souls and now they're back to square one, and it's the end of the journey with a question what's left there? (And oh god "Stop asking me how I am" verse? I remembered how in the Covid video Chris apologised for "complaining" and it hit me emotionally) In the vol.3 all that goes after it are definitely more of the "stories" songs.

So yeah, again, it's just my own thoughts about the album, I'm interested if someone else resonate with them, I claim nothing. I very much enjoyed taking a closer look at the songs one by one and formed personal connection with the album, that feels very good even though a lot of songs are very heavy.

Guess what came todaaaayyyy.....

I may have panicked when I was leaving the comment bc I didn't know what I was rlly meant to put and when I opened it earlier it made me giggle when I opened it.

(I definitely didn't cry for over an hour and a half idk who would do something like that not me)

Lord Of The Lost Unveil New Single "My Funeral" Ahead Of Album Trilogy Grand Finale

[missfortunetherogue]

Lord of the Lost's new album came out today and ugh, I am already obsessed. This might knock me off my Sleep Token fixation for at least a few days (ha). Pretty sure "The Things We Do For Love" is gonna be amazing musical inspo when I eventually write the Cazador fight chapter in my fic (or maybe Miss Fortune's quest finale, though I think that will be exclusively soundtracked by In This Moment.)
