    Lyrics
    armageddon is a product
    And one we choose to buy
    Dwell on that for a moment
    With Paradise on fire
    I guess it’s all the way,
    Blankenship
    Children lead the cry
    You sold them all away,
    Blankenship
    With thirty years of lies
    Who sold us the dominion
    over swine that smell their knife
    The vicious creature thin and dying
    On a scrap of melting ice
    The earth is ownerless
    Blankenship
    Children lead the cry
    You sold them all away,
    Blankenship
    With thirty years of lies
    I should have treated you better
    Blankenship
    the lives you weaponize
    You sold them all away
    Blankenship
    With silver-plated eyes
    Think of your sons and daughters
    Laid in ashen water
    Sirens louder and louder
    ‘destroy those
    who destroy the earth’

      This song is bad-ass in many ways, but I'm not quite sure 'evolution', a word implying positive change, is the right word to use. This album is simply quite different from their previous albums, donning a noticeably grimmer and heavier sound that i must say i have trouble getting into, except for this track and 'skin game'. There's this 'sameness
      ' in song structure and melodic progression across a lot of the tracks from this album, in contrast with 'is the is are', a record that I find exciting, more accessible and have purchased multiple copies for myself and my friends. I'd say that the overall sound of an album changes with the phase that the artiste is currently undergoing and the themes they wish to portray with the album.

      @@lequinntessential interesting view man!! but yeah im just saying that this plays slightly different from their previous records and thats hey, its a pretty good record. (wasn't out when i wrote orginal comment) But yeah maybe you're right critiquing my use of the word "evolve". I think a more appropriate word would have been "progressing" maybe?

      @@tuckend pardon me - I'm a huge sucker for semantics 😂 I'm sure some people would find the charm of a kitten more endearing than that of a fully grown cat, an entity that has 'progressed', or vice versa. I like the older music of Feist or Caribou better, yet I prefer Tame Impala's newer releases than their older albums. The work put out by people will always change, but one's tastes may not.

    In any other band a chorus like that would EXPLODE but they don't raise the volume too much. Whether it's due to the singer having soft vocals or just their taste, it's definitely a unique way to release the tension of their verse
