Aside

Quick Thoughts • 22 October 2026

Man, I still don’t think there’s a better album for commuting to work before sunrise than M83’s Before The Dawn Heals Us. Is it actually a concept album about nuclear war, as I posited in a review that’s old enough to drink? Maybe not. Do “Don’t Save Us From the Flames” and “Teen Angst” still own? Absolutely.

Is it bizarre that Spotify didn’t inform me that M83 dropped a new album a month ago called I Wrote You A Letter even though I listen to everything they do at least three or four times, if not more? Yeah, but I’m used to that.
