somewhere between painfully average and just bad, the album didn’t make me feel a single emotion, so I’m not even sure how I really feel about it.
"It's a Vibe" is great on an acid afterglow (a little birdie told me so).
for being one of the most horrendous and tackiest songs about coke, "She Keeps Me Up" sure does live in my head rent free stil.
I was today years old when I learned that there's a second part to the title.
lock this woman in a room with a piano, a piece of paper, and a pen - and you'll get some great song-writing (vide: folklore and much of evermore). all the synth-poppy songs feel soulless and half-baked, and her attempts at portraying herself as some femme fatale bad bitch are unconvincing.
this album has some of RHCP's best and worst songs of their discography - there was no need to release a two-disc when so many songs are mediocre fillers
I accidentally gave it a higher rating than I meant to, thinking "Maintain" feat. Belly is on the record (turns out it's actually on Belly's Immigrant instead)
clearly a lot of passion went into the project but man, production-wise Belly's discography seems to just keep getting worse over time
following Hotel Diablo up with this microwaved travesty is crazy and baffling

"you took words out of my mouth. Unreal Unearth was one of my favorite albums of 2023 (and possibly of all time), meanwhile these year's EPs have been a disappointment so far."
