Joshua please I need the gay turned up 80% and the seek god stuff turned all the way off
This feels like very old school troye stuff in the best way except what was the reason for that sample
I like that she decided to lean into the rock stuff but I wish the lyrics were better. I really enjoyed her lyricism on Sour but was hoping to see how much she’d improve here. But I think she did overcome those cursed sophomore slumps. Vampires still the best song on here.
Best Tracks - Vampire, Teenage Dream, Logical, Get Her Back
Worst Tracks - The Grudge
The visuals from the video and stuff were better than the actual song, but still fun though
It’s an emotional struggle to get past that awful blackbear feature but honestly this was a good album. Greatest Hits was a solid effort with some cool ideas but I'm glad they've branched away from that. injecting a cleaner less experimental production style with more pop rock sounds into this one. I wish it had more songs on it though.
Best Tracks - Funeral Grey, 2 Best Friends, Ritual, A Night Out On Earth

WELL it was not what I was expecting or really hoping for but I'm happy with this. It's definitely a grower. I love how reflective this one is, maybe the themes she covers aren't super new or anything but it's nice hearing these themes covered with years of reflection and the left over lyrical touchings she's carried on with her from folklore. I enjoyed some of the new pop sounds she tries , Lavender Haze is a solid opening for this album and worked well with her voice. Some tracks did not land ... read more
This was very disappointing, not that his last two projects were groundbreaking or anything but I was hoping for more growth. It's not bad but Joshua can do better, or I thought he could at least.
Best Tracks - Used to It, All in Due Time
Worst Tracks - Sad Songs in a Hotel Room
No question his best writing is here, songs like "Tissues", "Memories", "The Boy in The Black Dress" show a lot of the growth people have been waiting for from his music. He does a solid job swinging between the sound he did in weird! and heavy 80's rock tracks, it all blends pretty well. The project is his most consistent sonically. I still think yungblud has yet to give us his best work, but this is definitely his best so far in his career.

Sounds like music to irritate your pet dogs ears. I really couldn't find any strong redeeming qualities to this album. The production just did not sit well with his voice. The mixing is making his vocals sound way worse than even a live setting. Though his voice didn't sound too great overall, there is so little variety to many of these tracks because he's stuck so far up his register. Impressive? Maybe, but it sure doesn't sound too great.
You can hear the influences 100% and she's not doing them better, but tbh I didn't mind it's still solid dark pop.
The bridge makes up for the duller moments but I wish the lyrics went further. Joshua struggles to make his songs feel personal like he wants to; anyone could have made this song.
last single sucked but THIS is actually his worst song. The vocal performance is so awful and sounds so separated from the instrumentals, it's really disorienting. This could've ended up probably being an overall fine song but this feels like a very very rough first draft.
Billie and Lizzy McAlpine collab when???
This was really good, only issues being the weird flip in TV from world problems to then her random relationship dilemmas. But overall it’s still a great track, and the 30th is pretty fantastic especially the bridge.
It's so close to being mgk pop punk trash, but Demi's vocals and a couple interesting parts in the chorus and the end really pull through.
It could be better and I think a slower stripped down bridge would've been cool. But it's still very cute and got better as it went along, but it's mostly unmemorable amongst his previous songs.
I’m liking this direction way more than their last album. Leaning more into the pop rock rather than the electro almost hyper pop-ness on their last album.
Isaac Dunbar is one of the last few recently to do something interesting with the never-ending 80's sound. I hope his label invests more in him, he is incredibly versatile voice in pop.

On Anson Seabra - Songs I Wrote in My Bedroom
"Ummm Kyouya it's not that serious dude. I was just saying that I wish he had more diversity musically and it wasn't all so slow. I love a good slow jam but I just kinda got tired of it after a while. I was hoping for a few upbeat tempo'd breakup/sad songs. Um as for everything else you said, I don't know what to tell you, I can't remember a single song because I haven't listened to it since I made the review. But I remember feeling like although he writes great lyrics, he tends to write about the same stuff/situations. Which is fine but it's just not something I enjoyed listening to. Obviously I've felt emotional pain, literally everyone has.....so um yep that's all I have to say...it's really not that serious...it's just a review. "
