this is a great album remastered to sound greater, with 11 pieces of history and an iconic live performance attached to it. what else could i possibly want?
the demos sound pretty terrible but that's kinda part of the charm i love it so much
not crazy about the lyrics of this one and the sound is fairly boring compared to rest of singles
Fun pop bangers, catchy choruses, and heartbreaking lyrics give this project life. Hits a bit of a snag around track 14-17 and gets a bit sleepy, and with so many tracks an album is bound to be somewhat bloated. however she handles this bloat very well and has some really memorable tracks with some quite incredible lyricism.
FAVORITES: Glum, Kill Me, Mirtazipine, EDAABP, Hard, True Believer, Parachute
HM: Good Ol' Days, Showbiz
LEAST FAVORITE: Dream Girl in Shibuya
Some really really fun and well produced tracks in here, but sometimes bogged down by bland or bad lyrics, vocal melodies, or vocal production
Fairly unremarkable boring pop. The good moments are ok and the bad moments are pretty bad.
Really fantastic writing with pretty good production and so-so mixing. Side B is definitely much much stronger but I still have a soft spot for this album
realistically, it's kinda listenable. Production isn't terrible and for being produced, mixed and mastered by Tom MacDonald, he didn't do a terrible job. He's the new Quadeca!
That said, the fact that he mixed and mastered this himself likely means no professional engineer wanted to be a part of this dogshit. And in spite of what I said earlier, the chorus is mixed like shit and sounds terrible. All proceeds will be donated. Donated to what? Who knows!

I really can't find much wrong with this album but I don't know if I truly personally think it's a 10 or if it's better than Clancy (Clancy is a really special album to me)
Every song I didn't enjoy on first listen, I grew to love very soon after. Days Lie Dormant was one that I thought was cool but forgettable at the listening party. Now it's a favorite.
The only song I'm not sure I'll be coming back to (aside from Intentions, which isn't really ... read more
Genuinely a really great effort from ajr and probably my favorite project of theirs to date with some of my favorite songs they've ever written.
The Plane That Never Lands has beautiful production and instrumentation with some really straightforward yet uncringeworthy lyrics.
A Dog Song has some of the latter, but makes up for it in my opinion with a concept that's executed pretty well and again beautiful production and instrumentation.
Betty is the only song on this EP that ... read more
In a vaccum, it's pretty good. In context with Rob As My Witness, it sounds boring and exactly the same. This ones better tho
FAVORITE TRACKS: WAGING WAR, RUIN MY LIFE, GODSTAINED, MONDAY, THAT'S WHY, NATURAL CAUSES, FORGONE, CASPER

"@fraudmerchant so why can't you extend that same sentiment to Twenty One Pilots? that's how they got their entire fucking fanbase. The fact that your justification for liking VLV is that "it got me through a really hard time" and not "it's a good album" says a lot lmao, not that there's anything wrong with that, but don't go around pretending that TOP has always been shit and you've always been above them until now"

"@Preternatural vices is the best panic album and while i don't hate viva las vengeance as much as others do, almost everything twenty one pilots has put out after 2015 is better lmao"
