Actually, I'd say he became quite upset with death at the end, when he was crying in pain and rolling around in mud and pig shit screaming how much he didn't want to die. He loved everything about war until he had to feel the pain.

It's tied with the moment at the end, when he stands his ground and wipes his blade clean in the crook of his arm. So badass.
That's legit, I'll skip over "We're Breaking Up" too most of the time. I love "Two Coffins" but it is more of a breather from the breakneck pace of the rest of the album so I sometimes jump it to get to "Paralytic States". Everyone's got their taste; I could listen to against me! on a loop all day (same with a few…
There are very few things more punk than being trans! :p
I think you are purposefully being dense to make a stupid point and defend your personal desire to resist changing your vocabulary. Obviously, the word "retarded" has legitimate uses outside of slurs. But you and I both know that isn't what is being discussed here.
Definitely a great song, and the message is the perfect antidote to every "you complete me" love song out there.
While I'll agree it was an inelegantly-worded sentiment, it's an understandable misstep that is immediately fixed in the rest of the review. I feel like your vitriol is misguided considering the positive nature of the piece as a whole. Transgender issues are still unfamiliar territory for a lot of people, and the…
Oh yeah, god forbid a punk song have MELODY *gasp*
He's definitely weather-beaten now, but I've seen pictures of him as a dapper young British gent. He never had that Bradley Cooper shininess, but I did say "moderately" handsome.
Oh yeah there are definitely narrow-minded chuckleheads of all ages.
What's so special and unique about the word "retarded" that it can't be replaced by a different word that doesn't use a person's identity as an insult? I can list a dozen words that convey the same meaning, so I'd assume any reasonably intelligent comedian could do the same. I don't agree with the bleeping, but I…
Gotta watch out for the half-and-half in their coffees…
Didn't know Mark Hamill played the role, but I bet he was fucking fantastic.
John Hurt was fantastic in the role, and I'd say he's at least moderately handsome.
I see this sentiment expressed often but there's no need to worry: male-to-female hormone replacement therapy has no effect on the individual's voice.
It's not my favorite, but I do really love it and will always defend it when the haters come calling.
Just to ease your concern, since I've seen it echoed elsewhere, male-to-female hormone replacement therapy doesn't affect one's voice. Any vocal feminization comes from training or, in an extreeeemely small number of cases, surgeries such as the tracheal shave.
A lot of the trashing comes from diehard "fans" who mistook Grace's evolving style for "selling out" (a term I despise). For as "non-conformist" as some punk fans claim to be, they're just as set in their ways as the people they ridicule. Not all of them, obviously, just the vocal—mostly teenage/young adult—minority.
You were at the Mercy Lounge too?
