It has enough of Rob Thomas’ endearing charisma to make it listenable at best, but when your album really only has one leg to stand on, it falls flat on its face.
A very solid album that contrasts its sugary, upbeat, funky instrumentals with lyrics that add a mature layer personality to it, because life isn’t all sunshine and rainbows.
A lot of people gave Hayley crap for calling out Morgan Wallen, but the talent that Wallen possesses will forever be not even close to a fraction of Williams and this album only further solidifies that statement, as Hayley proves herself to be just as talented as—if not more so than—she is with Paramore.
It’s called The Mountain because they’ve spent so long climbing to reach the peak. This is a seriously great output from the duo, venturing into new territory and creating something special.
I didn’t understand anything except for the English parts, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this a lot! It’s a very well-produced album with a great flow to it. Highly recommend
