I gather them from

AAAAAAH!!!! LESSGOOO!!!!

.n0ah.114

As a diehard TOP fan, I am disappointed in these guys, you can’t go back to trench, you can’t mess with the classics. their old stuff was straight GAS and now I don’t even know what to think about this. usually, their songs are filled with emotion and meaning, and they are great and creative, WHERE DID IT ALL GO TO DIE????? I miss the old them back in the good old days where they didn’t have the chorus after ever verse that is way too much of the same. it’s like their trying to fit in with the new pop genre and they lost basically their own style. after scaled and icy i was expecting smth different. No, they just went to mediocre tracks and bad lyrics “3 stripes on my adidas track jacket” I’m actually dead. Tyler, nice jacket, please do better. literally 2 lines then “overcompensate” like Tyler, you had me until you lost me, I’m hoping for their next release to be better.
I’m not hating but I would like to know if anybody else feels the same about this little tune they made.

Biography

Destiny itself assembled the Crane Wives, and now they seek only to make music worthy of destiny. That, and act as silly as humanly possible.

“The Crane Wife is an old Japanese tale. While there are many variations of the tale, a common version is that a poor man finds an injured crane on his doorstep (or outside with an arrow in it), takes it in and nurses it back to health. After he releases the crane, a woman appears at his doorstep with whom he falls in love and marries.
