wetdream

I don’t know what I could possibly say that hasn’t been said yet. This is just one of the greatest albums I’ve ever listened to, and I’ve been listening to wetdream for the past year or so now. Its quality hasn’t dropped a bit for me. This is the hardest review I’ve had to make, not because the score itself was hard to pinpoint, but because I want to do this album justice. It’s difficult for me to put into words how much I care about this project. There’s this sense of hopefulness and euphoria that washes over me whenever I listen to.. quite literally any song on here. But I also experience dread and the gut-wrench that is the lyrics and subject matter behind it, which is something I don’t often point out whenever I make a review. But after being so attached to wetdream and looking at the lyrics while listening, it’s just so powerful. This is a project that I’m deeply attached to; I’d say it’s one of the main driving forces as to why I’m in love with music in the first place, and why I’m making reviews on this site in the first place.

Enough of me ranting about how important this is to me. Let’s ask why. Why do I love this album? Well, I can never accurately describe why music makes me feel the way I do. It’s a part of why I put aside so much time to listening to and rating albums. But I’ll start simple. I really, really like the vocalist. I don’t know how or why, but the way his voice complements the loud and abrasive instrumentals moves me so much. Even when there’s a quiet part in the song, the drums and guitars are barely recognizable, but it still works wonderfully for me. And the aforementioned instrumentals? Some of the best I’ve heard. There’s, like, this fuzzy production buried deep inside this project, meshing with all of these different varieties of genres like indie rock, noise pop, slacker rock, even a little bit of noise rock? I don’t know what else to say; it’s an album made just for me. And I’m happy I ran into this album when I did.

Sorry if this review is a little… weird? It’s incredibly difficult for me to pinpoint what I love about this project, because the best answer I can think of is “I just do.” If there are any albums similar to wetdream, I’d greatly appreciate it if you could recommend them to me. And if you want, please let me know if I can improve on anything with how I review albums. I’m relatively new to this, so any feedback would be very helpful for me.
