Agreed that it's not quite as captivating as their first album, but this is still a solid addition to their catalogue and a solid platform to continue to build from
There isn't necessarily a weak point here - it's pretty solid throughout - but despite the albums strength and how much I enjoyed several tracks I just felt like it really dragged on and lasted far longer than its listed 41 minute runtime!
A few weak moments bring this album back down to earth, but at its strongest this album is fun, energetic, and an absolute whale of a time to listen to. Personal standout tracks are I like Ur Look and Freak It
A truly captivating listen that absorbs you within itself - a brilliant and wonderful release
The ideas are there, but the vocals just feel SO flat and underwhelming
A pretty enjoyable front section is let down a bit by a considerably weaker back end, but the album is still enjoyable and reminiscent of classic Bleachers sounds
The production is solid and the vibes are fun, but the lyrics and the vocals in particular are just god awful. Really not for me.
Nice little Americana album, but it never really evolves or grows into much more than you'd expect from your standard record from this genre
Pretty fun and completely decent K-Pop, but it just feels a bit superficial for me personally. Still an enjoyable listen nonetheless though
Confident and powerful, with a strong display of anger and emotion throughout
An interesting and intriguing listening experience, but as a whole album it doesn't quite work. Certainly artistic in its expression and the emotion is incredibly raw and authentic, but just not quite what I'm looking for myself.
An interesting and intriguing listen with some real highlights, I just find myself struggling to find a reason to come back to this album though
