    Wow. I never realised the melody of Shanghai was flipped like that. This is really unique! It's symmetrical like a butterfly!

    Stuff like this really shows you how they didn’t just set out to make an electronic-sounding lockdown album, they made an album that was based around the process of writing and recording music on a timeline rather than in a room. And it’s Gizz so it’s awesome.

    “I’m a well known insect” one of the best lyrics ever

    BF3000 has a lot of unique little tidbits like this like the vocal melody of yours being the same as the main melody but just slowed down
    Also really like how the melody kinda looks like a butterfly

    Awesome video. After watching this I went to watch a video of them playing it at Remlinger Farms in June (great performance). Stu is singing along to the main melody but playing the chords. So he's singing in one time signature and playing in another. I dunno if its hard for him to do that, but I don't think I could do that ever.

      i've seen that too, it's awesome. my guess is that he's familiar enough with the song that he can do it pretty effortlessly

    Yo dude I just ran half a marathon and then smoked weed and rewatched your video for like the third time and it honestly gave me so much inspiration to specifically try to gather as much knowledge about this band that I love and make a book about everything that I love about this band

      It’s just 4/4 but they might have a bar of 3 slid in there a couple times in the song
