Walmart radio just reminded me this song exists so I needed to confess to my worst sin: when I was in sophomore high school gym class it was my turn to add a song to the radio and I panicked and said “imagine dragons” because it was the first thing that popped to my head and this stupid fucking song played and all my classmates looked like they wanted to murder me. it’s been 6 years but I’m still sorry guys.
Consider me a new fan, if only they wouldn’t use AI shit in their music videos
Have to give Ariel and Shawn credit for somehow managing to make every single incorrect choice they could have possibly made on this album. There was not only nothing done that I can praise but it also seems like they intentionally wanted to make their audience as offended by the production and vocals and lyrics as possible. I nearly tapped out at Under the Knife which tackled the topic of SH very poorly, to put it the least. Embarrassingly bad.
The song is too short for my liking and the structure is very inoffensive, but what grabs my attention are the devastating lyrics—some of Nate’s best work yet.
Minus the awful mixing aside that can be fixed with some spotify settings this album literally saved my traumatized ass back in 2021-2022 and I am going to push it down all of my friends' throats until the day I die. Thank you Amy Lee
Holy trinity of albums that make me violently ill: To Let Go by NateWantsToBattle, The Bitter Truth by Evanescence, and This Is Why by Paramore
Feels out of place to have this weirdly hopeful song when all of the eight other ones seem to have themes of “my life sucks and I’m depressed” but I think it works out, since even people with depression can have happy and hopeful days. My least favorite single so far but it’s comforting for me
It’s been 20 years and I’m still confused whether the people in the sky on the album cover are floating or falling down
Huge props to Set It Off for somehow being the only band I can think of where every entry in their discography is worse than their last
I actually used to like and defend this album and then I started working retail and was forced to listen to High Hopes at least twice a day

"Not really a final; he will just be releasing most of his songs in the future individually and then compiling them into albums at the end of each year so he said"
