I have been, for the past few months, intensely making really top-notch analysis of the lyrical content of diverse albums with ChatGPT. Before anyone kills me, let me warn yourselves that this is not, as it might appear, a sleazy and shallow endeavour. That AI really does a great job if one uses it correctly, such as adding the actual lyrics to the prompt and programming it to create a serious effort on doing such. I feel like it would be interesting to post here some of the (translated to english) analyses that have been made; some which are truly outstanding and offered me information which I never would have thought (for example, on Deterge's "Borax Five Families" being about how " (...) an object's value depends almost entirely on its circulation, the distinction between commodity, money, and symbol becomes increasingly difficult to sustain. It is this gray area that the album transforms into sonic art" ("his" words).

Nevertheless, "actual intelligence" analyses of albums and such - that's where I am aiming at aswell. We already have a thread for musical reviews of albums, why not create one focused on the concepts and ideas therein? And again, please correct if I'm mistaken on such one already existing here. As for me, I'm making in-depth reviews of Brethren's "Savage Inequalities" and The Boyd Rice Experience's "Hatesville!", the latter being quite hillarious.
