review
i found this album through the grapevine, and i dont understand how these bands dont have more listens
some of them just dont have the exposure, but this album got pretty good press and the band still is just above 90k listens a month
for one album i guess that isnt bad but you would just assume word of mouth would get them a bit higher than that
on that note
this album is good – its fun – its exciting – it has a lotttttt of things going on
there’s poppy hits like mikeys song and nobody stays in love
there’s songs about gender dysphoria (joanna and wheres joanna)
there’s the casual western epic production thrown in here and there
and then there’s the social commentary on celebrity culture, materialism, capitalism, and all the other types of isms sprinkled all throughout the album
its an extremely dynamic album where every song feels different and exciting – it doesnt just hit one sound in song after song
it is very good on switching things up
every time im like okay this song is great it just finds this cool thing to add that just blows my mind and takes the song to another level
things like the dark switch-ups in to the door, the girl vocalist at the end of satan, luella and i, and the catchy as hell I HEARD IT in mikeys song
theyre just little things but those little things make these songs seem so full and all-encompassing
as to negative things, i dont really have much to say
i personally would have liked blank slate to be the last song of the album, but maybe im just missing something
the only song i dont love is probably just war is looming, aside from that great album
looking forward to the next project which should be out at some point this year, i think?
