Sum 41 - Heaven :X: Hell

Final albums are weird, aren’t they? A lot of bands put out their final album without even knowing, because something happens unexpectedly and they break up, but what happens when you know a band’s final album is coming? That’s the case of Sum 41, a pop-punk band that’s been kicking for the last 27 years, only to call it quits this year after their final album, Heaven :X: Hell, was released. The album’s been out for a few days now, and I wanted to listen to this out of curiosity. The thing is, I’m not really a fan of these guys, and I’ve only listened to a couple of albums from them, including some of their classic material. I just never got into them, whether it was their sound being too generic and boring for my liking, or their vocalist just not being that good to me. I still wanted to hear this, because it’s their final album, so it’s one last hurrah for the band, and this album was touted as a double album that was set to feature both “sides” of the band. The first half was to be more pop-punk, whereas the second half was to have a heavier sound and showcase more of their metal influences. That is the one thing I thought was cool about Sum 41 — they got a bit heavier than their peers by including thrash and hardcore riffs here and there. The question is, though, does this nearly hour-long double album deliver?

The short answer is yes, it does, but there is a bit of a caveat to that. This record gives me mixed feelings, because it doesn’t need to be 55 minutes, and it’s nothing special, but it’s quite a lot of fun from front to back. Most longer albums don’t need to be that long, but I wouldn’t argue this album feels justified with its length, at least to a point and maybe depending on who you are. If you love this band, you’ll love this album, and love that we got a double album, instead of a single collection of songs. The more, the merrier, as the saying goes. Most diehard fans won’t complain with getting more, and even as someone that isn’t a huge fan, I have to admit this is pretty cool. The band sounds in top shape, and despite how a majority of this album sounds the same, it’s still fun. Both halves of the album are good, but on my first couple listens, I couldn’t quite discern where the “metal” came into play, at least on the second half that is supposed to heavier. The second half of this album is heavier, but it’s subtle, aside from a few guitar solos. There are some hardcore and thrashy moments, but not a lot of outward metal songs or moments.

Even then, the album is a lot of fun, despite not being anything out of the ordinary, but that’s the point. The band is calling it quits with this, so why subvert expectations when you can give fans what they want? This album seems like it’s for fans, and if you’re not a fan, it doesn’t do anything you haven’t heard. I enjoy it quite a bit, but not as much as someone that is a diehard fan. I wouldn’t say I love this record, although I enjoy it a lot, but I will say that their cover of The Rolling Stone’s “Paint It Black” is fantastic, and I really love that. It was very unexpected, but really good. I don’t know if I want to sit through a 55-minute double album for a few songs I really liked, despite enjoying the whole thing. If you’re a fan, I think you’ll have a blast with this, and it’s a great send off. The band is going out on their own terms, and their breakup has some more weight on it, versus happening unexpectedly. I still like this album a lot, as it has solid stuff, but it’s nothing I haven’t heard, or done as well some of my favorite generic pop-punk albums. It’s worth a listen, though, and for not being a fan, I had a blast with it.

This is the precursor to the Expressions of Light series. I made it shortly after I graduated from university, sometime in mid- or late-2000.

...Now that I think about it, I really ought to do a counterpoint series to Expressions of Light, because demons and devils are as much fun to draw as angels. Art Nouveau demons. Art Deco demons. Yeah, I think I'm going to explore that.

I made this with Prismacolor pencils over watercolor.

And we created many of the jinn and the people for hell. They have hearts, but they do not understand the truth with it. They have eyes, but they don't see them. They have ears, but they don't hear with them. These are like animals. They are even lower. These are also the unawares "Quran a'raf 179

The only reason why people get saved and even say that they love Jesus Christ is because there's a threat that they will go to HELL! Because there would be no incentive to love this so-called Jesus Christ🤮

Are they winners, are they sinners? Cuz it’s cut and dry…

FAIR IS FAIR, AN EYE FOR AN EYE !!

I had this idea of Lute seeking revenge and coming back leading another extermination and running into Adam, now one of the lowest tiers of sinner. Then of course I was obsessed with what he’d look like so I incorporated his heaven fit and his cause of death (Nifty and the angelic knife).

I… I love them.

I know Gabriel is canonically really popular with Heaven’s residents but there’s bound to be some heavenly loser with pronoun envy

#my art #ultrakill #gabriel ultrakill #i love angel pronoun lore #he earned those pronouns fair and square and now he gets to wear a he/him pin like the badges on military uniforms #of course he has blue wings and pronouns #also can you fuckin imagine being a virtue?? #imagine you live your entire life as a Good Christian(tm) and then u get to heaven and find out not only do u still have to work a 9 to 5 #you have to do it in hell #forever #man i’d be salty too #straka's shitposts #sketches

The Captions Are Fixed!

GOOD NEWS! Sarah-Kate Fenelon has worked very hard (thank you Sarah-Kate) and the Amazon engines have rolled, and if you watch Good Omens S2 with the closed captions on you should be in for a pleasant surprise.

If you've seen it before with closed captions, I'd watch it again.

(I just watched 10 minutes from episode 5, and every line was on the money.)

I think I figured out what makes a soul go to either Heaven or Hell!!

In the latest episode Welcome to Heaven, we see a moment during the trial where Charlie asks Adam what he thinks it takes to get into Heaven. And he doesn’t actually seem to know. He makes a list of what he thinks got him there, but when provided evidence of a demon doing the same thing, defaults you “then why isn’t he here?”.

We realize that NONE of Heaven actually knows what gets someone to Heaven, and the characters acknowledge that angels are free to be as sinful as they want, but they still get to stay.

Which got me thinking, yeah, how did Adam get into Heaven? He’s awful. Then it hit me: he’s there because he thinks he deserves to be. Think of the demons we know. Alastor, Angel, Husker, Cherri, Valentino. These are all people who have done wrong and they know it. If you were to ask them, I think they’d tell you they deserve to be in Hell.

Isn’t it strange? That we’ve never met a demon who thinks there’s been some mistake? That they deserve to be in Heaven and they shouldn’t be in Hell? Hell should be chock full of people like that, but it isn’t.

I think it’s because if you think you deserve to be in Heaven, that’s where you go. And if you think you deserve to go to Hell? That’s where you stay. It explains why Adam is an angel-despite being a horrible person, he’s completely self righteous, even saying “I’ve never made a mistake in my fucking life.” Of course he’d think he deserves to go to Heaven! It’s how Molly went to Heaven and Angel went to hell, despite them leading similar lives-she thought she should go there.

If this is the case, then all the good deeds in the world won’t redeem a sinner. The only thing that will is repairing them and their mental state enough that they truly feel they deserve better. And I’d be fascinated to see how that goes!

Heaven: Wow, Aziraphale, I am impressed. It's a miracle how your Absolute Worst Enemy, the demon Crowley, has not noticed you for 6000 years.

Hell: so do you guys fuck or what

Innocents

In S2 we got to see Crowley before everything that happened to him

and Gabriel after everything that happened to him was put away in a container

What does this show us? How the systems hurt them both? That both, angels and demons could be much happier if they weren't bound to their weird, horrible, damaging, bullying homes/workplaces?

And how did Azi know there were certain things in place by then that better be not mentioned/poked.

What happened to the baby angel that he was a cautious, anxious little ball of fluff already?
