Funny week. Crimson def a highlight for me, put off listening to it for so long but it's so good. Other three are awesome too, not as impressive but lots of good stuff all around.

I hate my job so fucking much dude, there's got to be more to life than going to work, then getting home and working even more

Do lactaid pills not work for you?

Terrace @terrace210.bsky.social · 5d

Yeah this entire school year has been that for me. Becoming very intimate with the feeling of "doing the absolute best I can at something and still failing due to factors out of my control."

Thank you Andrew Latimer and everyone else who contributed to this amazing musical project. Almost thirty years from the first to the last.

Ranked tier list of all Camel studio albums

S-tier: Mirage, Moonmadness
A-tier: Rajaz, Stationary Traveller, The Snow Goose, Rain Dances, Camel
B-tier: A Nod and a Wink, Breathless, Nude
C-tier: Harbour of Tears, I Can See Your House from Here, Dust and Dreams
D-tier: The Single Factor

Terrace @terrace210.bsky.social · 8d

It's particularly interesting the way N&W pays tribute to the late, great Bardens by being very keyboard heavy. Apparently Latimer played some of the keyboards himself, which is nice. Either way, it's a fitting sendoff for the band's supposed final album. From the torchbearer to the torchlighter.

This week, I caught up on two of my favorite artists. The difference of course being that Danny has a new album dropping next month, whereas Camel haven't made a new record in over two decades. Very melancholic on that last one.

Forgot to say something about this, but idk if I have anything new to say. RoboCop is some of the most fun I've had in a theater. Rajaz is a brilliant, mature comeback album. MW is pop excellence. Yay!

Terrace @terrace210.bsky.social · 10d

Best of September:

1. RoboCop
2. Camel – Rajaz
3. Magdalena Bay – Mercurial World

It's always really surreal to go on social media and see how many people still think of school with the mentality of a child, like they still relate more to the student than they do to the teacher

Or they're just actual children, in which case go play Roblox or something

I'm so Camelbrained at this point that whenever I see the word "Mirage" I assume it's referring to the album

Fucking love when Andy Latimer makes this face

Some of the most perverted people I know are asexual. It's a special sort of thing. Their minds are capable of coming up with shit that no human being with a real sex drive could ever conceive of.

🥀BRI🕊️ @wiltedsys.bsky.social · Sep 8

you dont need to have a sex drive to let yourself be a pervert. you dont need attraction to be a pervert. as it was said in an image i saw recently sometimes its just for the love of the game. sometimes you want to use sex as a medium to explore shit and thats ok

Yeah okay you can shred your guitar faster than your wife left you, but can you play Latimer's solo in Lawrence with half the passion he did?

Terrace @terrace210.bsky.social · 14d

One more to go, and then I will have listened to all of Camel's studio albums (not counting rerecordings). To say this band has affected me profoundly would be an understatement. To me they are one the best representations of emotion and vulnerability in music, or art in general.

Terrace @terrace210.bsky.social · 14d

Don't have a lot to say about Dynamo atm, still processing it. But I've been anticipating Rajaz for months, and I was blown away by it because it was so different from what I was expecting.
