Existence Apology by FS

Written during the height of the pandemic as well as the Ukraine war, this is (lyrically) the darkest, most negative, most depressing, most dystopian FS album yet, tackling topics, such as war, covid, vaccine misinformation, anti-maskers, the government failing or not acting quick enough, corruption, selfish, greedy billionaires, poverty, the myth of meritocracy, anti-LGBTQ laws, book bans, anti-abortion laws, the military industrial complex, but also just loneliness, isolation, depression, social anxiety, self-doubt, self-hate & just personal problems in general. Musically it is just as varied as the previous album, though - There is some metalcore, some pop punk, some acoustic stuff, some electronica, some rap, some pop... but also some new elements, that have never really appeared on an FS album before, such as a song that tries to sound not "80s-snthwave/retrowave", but authentically 80s, like it was actually recorded in the 80s, an 8bit/16-bit-style song made from video game sounds & also some djent & some low-tuned 8-string guitars.
