Nothing but some damn good garage and blues, can't wait for the new album
Not as gritty and dirty as their first few and is really their shift to that pop rock sound (after the help of attack and release) and this one's credited as their "best album" but I don't see it. It's not strong enough to beat the likes of The Big Come Up, Thickfreakness, Rubber Factory, or Magic Potion
Thickfreakness is the best word to describe this whole album. Wish they replicated this sound again. Love Magic Potion though.
I dig this one. Gritty bluesy garage rock feeling in these. The whole reason why pre-Brothers are their best albums, when they started flying too close to the sun and got all "poppy" I stopped listening. Let's Rock is a nice "return to form" despite its filler (and I hate Lo/Hi).
This album is immaculate.
Unfortunately nothing new lyrically from ryan, sonically different is both good and bad for this album, some of these beats don't work, maybe it's actually him on the beats that make some of these work. I do not Warlord, its cringey and he and every other artist have made that song a million times over. Here's my numerical review of all songs
Flicker in the Mist: 4/10 nothing great, he's made this sound before, beat and choice of auto tune is not that good. Weak lyrics, ... read more
Arguably Ryan's best song. Vibes are immaculate - wish this, permanent red, get to choose, and Carolina reaper make their way on an album some day
Gonna give this one more listens before I give it a full review but this is definitely a stronger single than the last two - really digging this one
Love everything off this album, only downside is that the songs can sometimes sound like one big song,but nonetheless, if I sit down and really enjoy and focus on the music, hands down an incredible album
Enjoying this one more than It's Not Real, nothing new from Ryan unfortunately but that doesn't seem to stop me from playing this end on end.

On Clyde_'s review of Ryan Caraveo - Forever Foggy
"Great review, and I completely agree with all you've said, Ryan's capable of much stronger bodies of work and this unfortunately isn't it. This autotuned structure worked well enough the first few times but it's gotten too reliable that it's removing heart and soul out of the projects. I do hope he can find a new structure and he can tap into his full potential"
On Clyde_'s review of Ryan Caraveo - Trouble in Paradise
"Honestly? I'm a sucker for this album cover, it embodies the emptiness he feels throughout the album, and hey it's miles better than Butterfly Boy's selfie cover (I hate that one) and I like the fact that it's so drastically different from his other covers. And I get what you mean about the weird lyricsm, I personally like it but do understand how it can be off-putting. You could've have said it any better though - great review"
