Feels like the culmination of the classic indie pop rock of the late 2010s/early 2020’s, with enough wild inventiveness to smash that pop aspect right back where it came from: 8/10

ALSO this album is 2023’s #1 aoty by user rating, and still hasn’t been touched by a single professional critic; the mark of a pure indie gem

AND INTO THE EYES OF A JACKAL I SAY KAAAAAAAA-BOOM!

Like a warm bowl of custard with raisins and walnuts and a few little cooked apple slices

Good but like why would you listen to this y’know

First album to ever bring me to tears on my first listen

Heavy Metal is urban folk. As in most folk has a rural, nature setting, but this album is folk in an urban, city setting. Rural folk looks at the perfect and beautiful attributes of nature and calls it beautiful. This album looks at the imperfect and ugly attributes of cities and calls it beautiful.

One of the best produced rock tracks I’ve personally ever heard, and some phenomenally unexpected composition that fits the overall rebellious nature of the song to a tee

A playful twist on and in some cases reimagining of some of the hits of Geese’s 3D/4D Country era, with the production obviously but unfortunately almost non-existent, which, in addition to the short yet very fun dialogue and jam sections in between tracks, gives the whole piece a garage rock twang. Also St. Elmo Live is the best Geese song until Getting Killed and you can’t change my mind

Continues the sound profile and aesthetic of 3D Country with a subtly darker more sinister twist, and does so without losing any steam whatsoever on the composition, lyricism, performances, or production

THERES A BOMB IN MY CAR
Best Geese song ever so far no competition
