The album’s sentiments manage to be even less subtle than yesteryear’s scenecore and are expressed aptly yet irredeemably unattractively. Dip in for a quick fix and then avoid like the plague.
It's like they took all the good parts of WASTEISOLATION, got rid of them, then amplified the few flaws and made them into a full album. My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
Definitely a step down from the great debut album, but there's definitely some charm in it's hectic chunky production, and the screamo/vocal chord destruction type singing. I thought some of the lyrics on the first half of this record were overly edgy, especially with the lack of vocabulary. Enough with that death fluff, I want massacres, damnit!
There we go, knew it would grow on me. Black Dresses is THE love them or you hate them band. Human beings contain a gene in our DNA called the "Black Dresses gene" that if activated allows us to listen to this without blowing our brains out.
Honestly, with the recent attention given to bands like Black Dresses and 100 Gecs, I'm worried for the indie music fans. You guys holding out? Sorry I made you listen to Stupid Horse bro I thought you would find it funny 😔
