BMTH are my favourite band, and they did not disappoint. I was a little worried about how the end product would turn out because of the singles, which I enjoyed but thought were super disjointed.

Feel bad giving this album such a low rating, but I won't ever get down with K-pop. The City Pop songs however are SOOOOO GOOD HOLY SHIT.
Not all of these songs are amazing, but Lefty and Head in the Ceiling Fan will forever be among my favourite songs of all time.

This was honestly a pretty disappointing listen. The first 5 tracks were awesome. Great riffs, great vocals, great hooks. The rest of the album is so mediocre. 70% of the riffs turn into 0-0-0-0-0-0, the violin is kind of a gimmick that doesn’t add much to the album, and I’m honestly struggling to remember how most of those second-half songs go.
At least we got Death by a Thousand Cuts and Come Hell or High Water, honestly incredible songs.
