YMMV / Have a Nice Life

• Awesome Music: Deathconsciousness as a whole. The Unnatural World is also regarded as a worthy follow up.
  • "Bloodhail" in particular between the Epic Riff, layered chanted vocals, and thumping drums.
• Contested Sequel: Opinions on Sea of Worry are split rather starkly between those who consider it to be another great album from the band, and those who consider it to be a disappointingly weak and forgettable album. There are very few who would argue it's better than the first two albums, however.
• Cult Classic: Deathconsciousness attained this status, partially due to a surge of interest from new people discovering it on /mu/.
• Epic Riff: "Waiting for Black Metal Records to Come in the Mail" has an epic guitar riff, while "Bloodhail", "Defenestration Song", and "Dan and Tim, Reunited by Fate" have epic bass riffs.
  • "Hunter" has an Epic violin riff, which repeats near the end of the song and coupled with Dan's layered vocals.
• Genius Bonus: "Cropsey" is named after an urban legend from Staten Island about an escaped patient from the Willowbrook State School who was thought to be behind the disappearances of several children in the area. The story was made famous by the documentary film Cropsey.
• Memetic Mutation: Any mention of them in a music discussion forum is guaranteed to be greeted with people spamming "ARROWHEADS ARROWHEADS ARROWHEADS ARROWHEADS".
  • Similar to "ARROWHEADS ARROWHEADS ARROWHEADS ARROWHEADS", there's the lyric version of "Arrowheads [x75]", the seventy-five times the lyric "Arrowheads" is repeated at the end of "Bloodhail".
  • "This is Deathsconsciousness. And it begs the question - 'What is the point?'"
  • "understandable have a nice life" ^note A screenshot was posted online of a fan asking the band to perform at his birthday party, only for them to respond with "no". The fan then responded with this phrase as a way to make a Pun. Fans went wild.
• Nightmare Fuel: All of Deathconsciousness has this, with very depressing and haunting songs with a mix of a Nothing Is Scarier atmosphere.
  • The booklet that came with the original releases and vinyl releases are this as well: It tells the (thankfully fake) history of a "philospher" known as Antiochus who believes one should commit suicide willingly as a way to reach enlightenment after reaching a desired perspective of their life, a far cry from the perspective of the growing Catholicism in Rome. The rest of the booklet details Antiochus's growth of a Cult to the point where they even begin killing other people as a way to help them reach "enlightenment". It makes the album both a mix of Tear Jerker (especially considering the implications of some people following Antiochus's views as a way of alleviating their own suffering) and Nightmare Fuel in spades (considering how humans act in a state of cult mentality).
  • "The Future", an instrumental near the end of the album. The ominous droning synths and marching drum beat make it sound like the soundtrack for some hopeless dystopian future.
  • The intro to "Cropsey", which is a collage of interview samples from an old news report on the notorious Willowbrook State School, an institute for disabled children in New York which was closed in the 1970s after a news report brought its utterly inhumane conditions to light, as well as an interview with a young patient at Pennhurst State School, a similarly dysfunctional institution located in Philadelphia. Combined with Tear Jerker due to how traumatized and unhappy the child sounds.
• Signature Song: "Bloodhail".
• Sweet Dreams Fuel: "A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut" is both this and a Tear Jerker.
• Tear Jerker: Their entire discography can be regarded as this to a greater or lesser extent.
  • "A Quick One Before the Eternal Worm Devours Connecticut", a hauntingly beautiful piece of instrumental ambience which could be the soundtrack to a Dying Dream.
  • "The Big Gloom", with its repeated exclamations of "Please please please release me" sounding like the singer pleading for a Mercy Kill.
  • "Hunter", a song from the perspective of God himself forgiving mankind for the act of murdering him, set to an instrumental that sounds like church bells tolling at a funeral. It's one of the most poignant expressions of Humans Are Bastards in music.
  • "Who Would Leave Their Son Out in the Sun?" It's just Dan, a guitar, and a wall of vocal overdubs, and manages to be one of the most viscerally sad songs on the album.
  • "I Don't Love" isn't as ominous or unnerving as the tracks that precede it. It makes up for this by being crushingly sad in a way that goes further than anything else on the album. Between Dan despondently singing "I don't want to feel like this anymore" and the abrasive, fuzzed-out guitars, it sounds like a musical Despair Event Horizon. Despite how grim the album is up to that point, it's heartbreaking to hear Dan sound so depressed.
• Tough Act to Follow: Though generally regarded as an excellent record in its own right, The Unnatural World is often thought of as being a weaker album than Deathconsciousness, which is widely considered a masterpiece. The same can be said with Sea of Worry.
