We're almost there, y'all. Two more shaves. If you're about to kill a tub, load heavy, because you might just pull it off. I believe in you. We believe in you. May the bristles be in your favor and the wind ever blow your lather away from the mirror. This is your time. This is your moment. Fulfill your destiny!

#sidetracked u/Teufelskraft
Scout Niblett's "Gun" is among the angriest songs I know of. Her guitar growls, Scout snarls, and the lyrics drip with scorn, disdain, resentment, and bitter, murderous jealousy. "She took your love away from me / and I am thankful, every day." She lays out her plan to acquire the titular nice little silver one and show up in the crowd of her ex's "shitty band." And none of this is obscured by verbosity or sloppy vocals. Scout sounds raw and raging, but she articulates every sharp-tongued syllable, and details the depths of her feeling in methodical, excrutiating detail. She's been waiting for this and can wait as long as it takes.
