When I listen to this album, all of a sudden, I am in my freshman dorm again. All of the lights are off, and the moon is barely shining through the window. It's a little past 3 in the morning, and, no matter how exhausted I am, both emotionally and physically, I cannot sleep, no matter how hard I try; I am simply staring at the ceiling. My headphones are on full blast, but I cannot hear a thing. My only thoughts are about how I can't stop fucking everything up and am losing her in the ... read more
I took an edible on a plane and listened to this album. Below, you will see how it was the best and worst experience of my life.
A Crow Looked at Me:
This is the rawest an album has ever been and I seriously hope it’s the rawest an album ever will be because I’m not sure if I can take anything more direct. There are plenty of albums I have heard before that show you exactly how an artists was thinking when they made it, but I have never listened to an album that allows me to live ... read more
I will return to update this when I figure out how to articulate the way this album makes me feel.
Very few songs have hit me like this. I've only listened twice, since the second time, I've avoided it. This song hits home so hard for me that I am afraid to listen to it again; its hauntingly beautiful. I think it's a great song for that exact reason; it's supposed to feel like it's attacking you while simultaneously not being overly aggressive, just personal and dark. Well done Arm's Length, you have made one hell of a song that will make me cry when I need to. ... read more
I believe this to be Milky Chance's best album, which is somewhat ironic because, at the time, it was the furthest they ventured from their sound. Mind the Moon is a creative, fun, experimental album that takes you on a unique journey. Although the lyrical content is fairly heavy at times, discussing topics like the horrors of adulthood, escapism, and underachieved potential, the album still manages to make you feel as if you are floating at all times. It also manages to capture every kind ... read more
This is one of the best live albums I've ever heard; I'd genuinely put it on the level of Nirvana's Unplugged set. Tyler's voice sounds phenomenal everywhere you look. You can hear his excitement in Whitehouse Road, his frustration in Rock Salt and Nails, and his pain and regret in songs like Shake the Frost and Coming Down. His use of strings ring through the album, almost making you feel like you're actually at a bluegrass concert. I could not recommend this album ... read more
You Get What You Give is a phenomenal sophomore album for the group, or for anyone really. It has a very refreshing take on nuanced country music, but the band still remains to stay grounded in their roots while taking some creative liberties on songs like Who Knows and Keep Me in Mind
