"And you rip my ribcage open and devour what's truly yours"
Here we are, dear hearts, at the first truest anniversary of the release of The Horror and the Wild. An absolute masterpiece of an album that teaches us that we are capable of not only great fury and sadness, but beauty and kindness as well. I really looked into the meanings of flowers for this one, incorporating poppies, marigolds, and yarrow. Flowers that can represent anger and hurt, but also remembrance, passion, and healing. Anyway, here's my tribute to That Unwanted Animal by The Amazing Devil.

The sheer desperation in "how bold I was, could be, will be, still am, my God still am!" makes me fucking feral

I’ve been listening to amazing devil for years now and even though I heard the songs hundreds of times, I still find something new in them.
In That unwanted animal I just noticed that after the line: “well, can’t you hear the scratching” there is a tiny scratching noise.
Or in Fair, which seems like it is sang fully by Joey, there is Madeleine whispering the line: “Where have you been” before “she’ll whisper” faintly with Joey. What a ridiculous attention to details!
Like who made these people that they decided to make songs this layered! 🥰

Cannot believe this album exists. Cannot believe they blessed the world with that cover photo. Cannot believe how the quiet, deliberate, oh-so-careful The Rockrose and the Thistle gave way to the almighty crash of The Horror and the Wild. CANNOT BELIEVE they gave us "Welcome to the stooooooorm, I AM THUNDER, welcome to MY TABLE, BRING YOUR HUNGER" and expected us to just cope with it!!! And then there's Wild Blue Yonder, which is basically "relationship in crisis, but fun" versus That Unwanted Animal which is "relationship in crisis, but feral." One song has a robot vampire, the other has erotic cannibalism, just because they COULD. Cannot believe Fair and Marbles exist in the same damn album, like Madeleine and Joey were like, oh while we're here, why not raise the fucking bar for romance and commitment just to see how many people dissolve into puddles of yearning? The audacity, honestly. Then they decided to also turn a pair of rainy day footwear into a symbol of tenderness and grief, because why not? And in Battle Cries, they're like, we're gonna deal with breakups, and also aging, and we're gonna help you find the poetry in both. The whole album is poetry, actually. BUT ESPECIALLY FAREWELL WANDERLUST. Holy shit, Farewell Wanderlust. Every other song by The Amazing Devil could be erased from my memory except for Farewell Wanderlust, I'd still be their biggest fan on the basis of that one (1) song alone. It's no exaggeration to say that there's magic in that song that saved me in so many ways. I cannot believe it exists.
The Horror and the Wild isn't really the kind of music you just listen to, it's the kind of music that happens to you. I am so so glad, if still in stunned disbelief, that it happened to me.
