Arcade Fire - Open Your Heart or Die Trying

Pink Elephant’s ambient moments are some of my favorite on the record. This beautifully complements the heavy themes and wonderfully brash instrumentals of the main album.

This album is so so so good. It gets better with every listen and I am sure my score will continue to go up if I keep listening to it. The lyrics are focused and descriptive unlike some previous purity ring work, and the instrumentals are consistently creative and majestic.

Many bangers abound on this record. My biggest issue is that the style of writing on this project is not generally my favorite. The lyrics seem more focused on creating an atmosphere than saying anything coherent. Not by any means bad just not my cup of tea.

This is another very solid set of tracks, and I actually think that this EP benefits from being as short and precise as it is.

Super impressive collection of songs. The instrumentals are excellent and always engaging. Only notes are that the lyrics can come across as a little too simple and psuedo-poetic, though of course that is just a personal preference. Definitely hyped to check out more of drug bug!
