I think one thing that rings true about Keith's work in Mania in particular, is how profound and relatable those uneasy feelings are, that are being meticulously being projected and expressed through the noise itself, through a foreboding sense of anxiety, desperation and isolation that continue to escalate. This time a year I've got terrible anxiety from season change to winter. I find myself drinking a lot earlier, a lot more often and going to bed almost always with nightmares and then waking up everyday to this depressed and anxious ridden state that makes you feel very guilty, self ridiculing, isolated and alone in those feelings and takes hours in the morning to return to a semi normal state of mind. I think Mania is the banner to those types of feelings and is precisely why it's so magnified to certain individuals, cause it feels so authentic to those types of experienced emotions. I never knew Keith, as I was late to the forum before he passed, but he's no doubt somebody I'd of easily been able to relate to on various topics. I'm glad he was able to communicate those feelings of anxiety so well with Mania to the point that it demands the listeners immediate attention.
