Geordie Greep had me making new sounds while listening to this. (I’m so tired but I loved this)
I’m a massive bright eyes fan and I’ll be the first to say this is one of their weaker projects. It has some very strong moments but the start and end are both a little awkward and there are some odd choices sonically on this album. However this album does have some very strong points and, while it has some of his weaker moments as a songwriter Conner definitely shows more maturity and growth in his writing.
I still need to finish the album but I don’t really give a fuck about reviewing it early. I finally get swans because of this project and holy fuck is it good.
This album had more mood swings than me. I enjoyed it a lot I think to some extent it is a mixed bag but it has some of his best production to date. As much as I hate to say it I do enjoy some of the more pop sounding tracks, overall very solid.
I’m so glad I finally sat down and listened to this. This is technically my third listen as I had tried two times before but had gotten bored on static but man after fully hearing it this album did NOT disappoint. It was so lush and vibrant and well put together. And despite having no lyrics conveyed so much emotion.
Least favorite track - static
