lemon demon! pronounce it how you want it's still one of the best musical experiences ive had!
to get a bit sentimental, music plays a big part into who i am! i named myself after a musician i like, i constantly have headphones on, i have a mian playlist that would take literal DAYS to play, and an artist you'll find on that playlist many times is Neil Ciceriega!
i got into lemon demon after seeing an invader zim animatic of touch tone telephone! i didn't think much of it besides, ah cool song. after a while around 2020-ish i think?? i'd heard cabinet man and said "HOLY SHIT LIKE FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDYS" and was in LOVE! spirit phone was the first i'd listened to though i have a real issue with like??? finishing things??? so i havent finished all of some of the albums
anyway!! below are his albums and my thoughts on the bits of them that i've heard, kinda like my talkshow boy one because i am SO annoying about him all the time and my friends are tired of listening
its pretty good!! although, lemon demon being the second song instead of the first throws me off, i havent listened to error though so like,, maybe its first for a reason i dunno. Honestly it's kinda rough but like,, he made it at 17 honestly what do i expect, IM almost seventeen and i can't even make a song let alone an album lmao
go to hollywood, relativity, ive got some falling to do, your evil shadow has a cup of tea, atomic copper claw
from what ive heard it's good, with atomic copper claw and evil shadow you can see some spirit phone/view monster vibes sprouting but honestly that might just be be because they were all made by the same dude lol, i think the song i feel strongest about is go to hollywood becuase??? holy shit???? like, the intrumental??? the lyrics????? it's to this day my favorite lemon demon song (that has nothing to do with it reminding me of reigen arataka and laurent thierry what are you talking about shut up)
all of them actually! made a commitment to sit and listen to this one since it was the oldest i could find at the time and thought it was the first
HOLE E. FUCK I LOVE THIS ALBUM! my god. i am like shaking vibrating thinking of it!!!! i love this album with literally all of my heart and soul. I dont know how to describe it but like?? the poppy??? rock??? feel??? makes me go so FUCKING FERAL i LOVE it!!! i dont even think i can pick a favorite from here i actually have a hard time, held at gunpoint though i'd have to say ode to crayola. i LOVE ode to crayola.
another one where i listened to all of them! purely for the fact thati was hyperfixated on this album for like a month tho bwhdekfjh
i really like this one!!! everyone and their mother knows ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny,, and for a reason that shit goes HARD, my personal favorites however would be nothing worth loving or the too much song i dunno. I can't tell you WHAT i like about this album just know that i love it and it is very near and dear to my heart. The timing of me getting into it too was odd because i'd listened to it in my "just discovered metal and damn near refuse to listen to anything else" phase.
another fully listened to one!
i have OPINIONS. on this fucking album, ok? i've got them and youre gonna listen. THIS ALBUM? changed my GODDAMN LIFE. i love this album more than i love LIFE and in my opinion, it's above spirit phone on my tierlist, which is insane right? spirit phones the most popular for a reason right? its neils magnum opus? WRONG. T H I S. THIS FUCKING ALBUM RIGHT HERE IS HIS magnum opus. (see its funny i say this cause in my FULL ranking of all his projects this is second) HIP HOP CHERRY POP IS MY FUCKING BREAD AND BUTTER and honestly i feel like some of the songs on here could be switched with songs on spirit phone since ya know spirit phones got this whole theme or whatever to it, like the machine? if i wasnt as autistic as i was and you told me it was off spirit phone, id totally believe it teebeeatch. plus something glowing,, but i digress this album is like spirit phones little brother that stands in spirit phones shadow and i say NO MORE. GIVE IT MORE CREDIT
fully thouroughly repeatedly listened to, and enjoyed.
if view monster is spirit phones overshadowed younger brother this is like, their cousin that they dont even talk about but is doing better than both of them but never gets acknowledged by their parents cause its not their kid. THIS FUCKING EP CHANGED MY LIFE. LIKE ACTUALLY. i would not be as into lemon demon as i am today if it wasnt for this EP GOD the themes???? like covering seasonal depression, over consumerism, and needless importance of tradition and (possibly??? ive heard theories of??) apocolypse is actually fucking insane and something only neil would do on a goddamn CHRISTMAS EP god I LOVE THIS EP i listen to it year round. AND THE AMMOUNT OF PEOPLE WHO HAVENT LISTENED TO/HEARD OF IT breaks my literal heart beacause BRO. if you haven't heard of it i BEG of you to give it a listen
all of em!
two trucks having sex
all main tracks! still havent listened to all the bonuses
realistically the fuck can i say about this album that hasnt been said already? i do however think it's a teeny bit overhyped but doesnt mean it isn't deserving of the hype it gets! i can see why people think this is neils best piece of work! its really good super spooky! it's a lot of peoples exposure to him and i think honestly it's a really good place to get started if youre a first time lemon demon enjoyer, i love cabinet man and when angelfire comes on i go fucking in SANE
