Not a bad record by any means but there's not much here that has me wanting to come back to it either
decent stuff on here, just a lot of stuff that feels very forgettable. Redneck still one of the hardest fuckin songs ever recorded tho
such a fucking immaculate rock album, good lord Heavy Bells is one of the best songs of all time istg
Ah yes, Blacklight Shine, Graveyard Love, and 12 of the most forgettable songs I've ever heard in my life
honestly, really not huge on this on first listen. Definitely gonna give it another shot at some point because I vaguely remember feeling the same way about this band's last record, and I ended up liking that one a lot after some time, but on first listen I think this album is significantly weaker than Pain Olympics :( really wanted to love this, unfortunately I just think this batch of tracks is a bit unfocused and didn't have the punch I was looking for
what a wonderful little indie rock album. definitely one of my favs in the genre this year, the instrumentals are fantastically done and Elizabeth Stokes has such a reserved yet absolutely gorgeous voice. this one just makes me feel happy inside :D
Music for people who get angry about injustice but are too timid to truly speak their minds for fear of being shot down
An album with a few duds in the list, sure, but the bulk of this album is still some of the best and most creative pop music out there imo so it still scores high, so much of this album just fucking rules that songs like party4u are forgivable
Goddamnit this band is so goddamn cool and suave I fucking LOVE THIS ITS SO MUCH FUN
Within this album is some of the best music of the year, unfortunately there are some songs on here that are just a bit underdone that totally kill the flow of it as a cohesive project, and right off my first listen doesn't make me really wanna listen to it all the way thru. The first three songs are absolute masterpieces, gimme an 8-10 song album of songs that good and jockstrap are gonna fuckin have an 11/10 album on their hands really quick
First 9 songs are like HH AOTY material, last 6 are a bit spotty, still a super solid showing from JID though
update: crazy how wrong I was on this one lol
OG Score 83
first 3 songs are fucking insane, the rest of the album is pretty solid with a few duds towards the end
shoutout the homie justin for putting me on this though this album is cool as fuck
