Temperature dropped - I wore a jumper - this autumnal album clicked
Completely perfect aesthetic, fully realised and beautiful. One of those crazy albums that commits fully to a sound that you've been dying to hear, only getting in snippets from other artists (cowards)
For every cool idea they have, they have another 30 seconds later that takes me out of the experience.
Summed up in Gethsemane - sick midwest-emo section, followed up by yet another trap beat section??
Also, lyrically their weakest album yet. Put the thesaurus down.
Everyone else needs to learn to have fun.
Lyrically great, and the mix of musical styles fits the themes of the song perfectly (living the dream, but it coming with the distressing consequences of being famous = the mix of light and fun beats overlaid with crushing metal instrumentation and screams at the end). Sounds great as well.
Yeah, just great. Less flashy than emergence, but muuuuuch more cohesive and doesn't feel at all like doing prog for progs sake
