the overall body of work is also dungeon circus imo but individual songs cross over into dracula

Cat Manning @catacalypto.bsky.social

I can buy that. I think I’d put more towards dracula than you might but all of Vision Thing is an experiment in dungeon circus for sure

I am not a connoisseur of circus dungeon! and yet, here I am, thinking that actually there are some fucking great lyrics in Vision Thing (along with the rest of Vision Thing)

I love Vision Thing (song and album) but I think any categorization of TSOM on any chart has to come in two parts: all the rest of their catalog, and the saxophone part from Dominion/Mother Russia

i have asked a different band each time it's come up so now i gotta ask Lacuna Coil while it's circulating again

gencab for cutie @babadooknukem.bsky.social

so the big problem with the chart is that it really starts to break down the more guitars you add, but if I had to put them somewhere it would be fairly straight dracula

Legendary Pink Dots is Circus, right? We agree on this? That's what that one means?

It lines up well with the corresponding Magic: the Gathering black-based Ravnica guilds. Club=Golgari, Circus=Rakdos, Dungeon=Dimir, Vampire=Orzhov.

It also feels like if you expand your idea of “club” to concert arena (read: “more popular less niche”) these same axes would work for metal music somehow ❤️
