it seems like After has hit a creative wall. I absolutely adore the 2 EPs they dropped because not only do they nail the y2k “indietronica” vibe, but they also have some variety soundscape wise. this song feels like a regurgitation of some of their biggest songs like Outbound or 300 dreams yet does not capture the same magic those songs had. if they keep recycling the same sound the songs are just gonna get worse and worse. After is 100% capable of producing something fresh yet ... read more
weyes blood has done it again..... the drugdealer production is amazing aswell! huge 60's vibe
as someone who loved the original brat, giving it a 99, i was severely disappointed with this album. I didn't really have any amazing expectations to begin with but I thought it was just gonna be a fun little inoffensive remix album. for starters, they just completely fucked and ruined almost every single beat on this album. like I know they're supposed to be remixes but some songs are literally so different you could say they're completely different songs, and don't even ... read more
i hope they release the live version too, that one had a way better build up and abel's vocals sounded better at the end
i wish it had an actual buildup instead of all of it being upbeat, but its probably gonna be like that on the album version still pretty great though
i wanted to really like this album and it started off really good, but it definitely lacks any sort of cohesion and some of these tracks feel lazy and just there for the sake of it :(
probably the album i've heard the most in my life. the nostalgia bias for this album goes crazy, especially on songs like count on me and just the way you are. a lot of these songs are pretty bad from a writing standpoint but I cant help but love them
This album is weird. I actually gave this an 8/10 on first listen because of the hype but when I actually gave it a thorough relisten I realised that this album is simply just not very good. It had lots of potential to be one of Kanye's best modern albums, but I think it wildly missed it's mark.
Let's start with the first track "STARS". This is one of the better songs on the album, now I know it's probably meant to be an intro and shouldn't be that long but I think with another ... read more
I don't think I've ever heard an album this mind-numbingly terrible, it is actually impressive how bad this album is. Like, to a certain extent I think there's a line where the music is so bad it's actually satire, but this manages to be incredibly funny but you can tell they were seriously thinking these songs sounded good in the studio. You have songs like Digital and Machine where it's actually entertainingly bad because of the weird ass production and god awful vocals, but then you have ... read more
