“In the end, his sincerity is a sharper weapon than his humor. Honeybear’s last couple of songs in particular—"Holy Shit" and "I Went to the Store One Day"—arrive at the strange clarity people sometimes feel in the wake of drug trips, where life’s simplest lessons are suddenly presented to you, quiet and nude: Love people, stay open, be real. Admittedly there are an infinite number of barriers to these ideas, not least of which nobody seems to agree what the words "love," "open," and "real" actually mean, but my guess is that Tillman would acknowledge that failing isn’t as important as never trying at all.”

“Take my hand 'cause I know what you're going through; Half the time I had no way of knowing.

It's my dream, and it's yours if you want it too.”

Magenta – The Ballad of Samuel Layne

Including:

Part I: The Ballad of Samuel Layne

Part II: The War Pride’s Prayer

Part III: The Soldier’s Prayer

This 20-minute opus narrates the story of a soldier (presumably, the person depicted in the song title) who goes to war and never makes it home.

While the plot may seem cliché, the piece itself manages to be very touching and unique; in fact, this is one of my favorite storytelling songs ever. Don’t let the whole prog-rock disguise throw you off.

This one's an awesome mix, y’all. It even contains a Christ vs. Warhol exclusive, which is stellar.

One of the most chthonic and underrated moments on Pain is Beauty.
