Of Matter (P O R T A L S)

Daniel, that scream you put in at 5:03...holy fuck. Don't get me wrong, I love Ashe's version as well, but this is just a small but really key example of why you are far and away my favorite vocalist and it isn't even close

This is my favourite melanie martinez album by far!

hope melanie can keep making music like this, this shit blazing lava compared to her last stuff

"I've tried to settle debts with my own soul" perfectly encapsulates the struggles I deal with with emotionally and psychologically. This whole trilogy is amazing, but to me, that verse is the crown jewel. Thanks for reaching out and affecting me, Tesseract. Rock on 🙏

REE-eeee-EEEE-eeeeee-EEE-SISSSSTTTTTTTTTTTT

Thank you for not being commercial, and producing real pieces of art!!! Pure delight for the ears and mind!

This album is truly a masterpiece

I was going through a pretty bad depression for a few years. The day this album came out, I went to the graveyard across the street from the park I usually walk in (it was the emptiest place there), put my headphones on, and sung along with "Resist" at the top of my lungs. I probably sounded like absolute shit, but I didn't care. That day was a milestone in my healing process. Thank you for making this.

melanie martinez really outdid herself on this one

God damn it how do I blink and miss Tesseract albums. Much love guys ❤️

14 minutes and 55 seconds of constant no break EMOTION.

I'm a surrogate I'm archetypal and itinerant I'm your excuse to long For a superior I will undertake I will overcome Imperfection you will find Look close enough Tear off the mask I need This endeavor is not mine You subject me to the daggers you conceive I'm stronger than I was before Thus you reinforce these walls I can't fight you anymore Threatened by the open door All the chances I ignore I can't stand still anymore The day is done Nothing left to say Resting head in hands Wishing I had known my place To take a stand The errand of a fool I'm not to reprimand I'm here to help you through Is nothing like it seems? Living in this sequence, a dream Is nothing like it seems? Gather broken shards of self esteem Burning bridges as I cower beneath Trying to salvage the debris My devotion tied around your waist lest you fall No one seems to sense the strain No one seems to know I don't begin to proclaim that I know I can't continue down this road Dwelling on what has come to pass No force alive will bring it back I would know I can feel the pressure getting steeper with every life lost You hope that I won't see the light of day in time to come With no conviction founded Just judgement contorted based on lust Give me strength Your assumption brings to a conclusion of no consequence And I refuse to play into your hands for your appeal Inadequate, inadequate I know I know I know I know I've hoped I've hoped You'll see me Turn back time Reason why Breakneck speed History Waiting (waiting) Waning (waning) Exasperating Unstrung Tethered Hoping forever No! I tried to settle bets with my own soul Bless my lips for the first time before you don't Gripping to the last touch of your hand I grow to loathe Hope that you remember just how far I'll go I'll spend the rest of my life wishing I'm enough Resist Resist Resist Resist Resist Resist

I miss Ashe Ohara so much on this band 😔

I love this album, great songs. this is the new rock and still alive!!!!!!!!!!

Been listening this everyday! Amazing

Its great to hear Dans version of this song. I haven't heard this up until the last few days.

"When the chips are down, these civilized people will eat each other alive. They are only as good as the world allows them to be. I am not a monster. I'm just way ahead of the curve"

I like what Dan did with his vocals from Altered State, using fifths probably instead of low octaves. It creates a different experience. Not bashing him for not reaching those highs, not many can, on the contrary.

Dan's scream at 5:02, fuuucking hell

Was reduced to a puddle by the time this song was over.
