The very predominant trans themes in the music adores me, Ive felt so lost in life recently and I always come back to songs like yoshi's island and bedroom community if I ever feel shitty. You're a cool person, J.
This album feels really genuine and painful from the singers perspective. The use of shaky auto tune is good at points but can sound a bit ear grating at others. Good shit though!
I really appreciate what AJR tries to do with their music. Next up forever is a very uplifting song and album opener, same with Finale. But in the nicest way possible, the meat of the songs sound obnoxious (Birthday Party, 100 Bad Days) or boring (Beats, Wow, I'm Not Crazy). In some alternate universe, I actually enjoy most of AJR's catalog.
Goes pretty hard, stand out tracks are definitely devil girl & malware halo.
I honestly don't get why this album is heavily hated, there's a good amount of missteps but honestly, some of the tracks on here really hit. Maybe Man is a fun couple of tracks, AJR makes some fun music, that's all it is to me.
Admittedly, there weren't many songs that I thought surpassed the first album. But plastic death is far from bad.
