I said I would give this a chance. Maybe, just maybe, even considering the cringe-ass song titles and album name, even considering her last three albums, maybe it's gonna be, at the very least, okay.
There's one song worth listening to, and it's the one saved by Florence + The Machine.
Taylor, you're in your late 30s and are writing songs like a r/Im14andthisisdeep member.
Please just make another Folklore.
I couldn't stop grinning while listening to this. It's the most versatile and unique the band has ever sounded. This is gonna be the album of the year, I know it.
Edit (79 -> 89): Nah this is a lot better than Overcompensate. I want more twenty punk pilots please.
OG: I think I like overcompensate a tiny bit more than this, but this is still an awesome song I did not expect to hear from my two favourite boys.
The only reason you should ever listen to this is to hear Kendrick's verse on Like That and occasionally hear a *fine* beat.

It's quite pretty but feels kinda same-y across the board. A nice, dreamy record for casual listening.
I was hoping for so much more from Paledusk. Being a band I randomly discovered through Spotify recommendations, I loved SLAY, BBB and AREA PD. It saddens me that those songs aren't on here. But still, this EP slays, and is a fun, loud and creative ride through Electronic-infused metalcore from the great land of Japan. The shorter songs on here shine a bit more, and the Q2 remake with Crossfaith manages to make that song even cooler. I recommend this to anyone who's tired of regular metalcore, ... read more
The Requiem is supplying us with new MCR music when we need it the most. These guys should have way more listeners than they do. Sometimes they bite into MCR's sound a bit too much, but that's fine with me. Rise, Emos!
