Of all the songs why is the f-slur song the one that got stuck in my head, I can’t live like this.
It’s such an exceptional blend of post-punk revival and post-rock. It’s like of the strokes made a really good post-rock album.
The beginning to me didn’t sound as polished as usual for them but the middle and ending are great with an amazing title track and outro
It’s decent, it’s perfectly fine. It has some heavier product elements than usual but other than that there’s not a lot that makes it standout or would make me want to re-listen when their other heater albums are right there.
It is cool to get new American football and death cab albums in the same year.
I really thought this would be the corniest thing I’ve heard this year but it was surprisingly good. The varied production and song writing I think is what really holds it all together. There’s a couple tracks that didn’t super work for me but overall enjoyed my listen
It’s pretty good, really impressive for just one guy. For me the project is carried by the sigh of summer and the closing track
Super impressive for just one guy. Really cohesive while having each track have an element to it that gives it a slight but uniquely different vibe or feeling. The closing track is also very powerful
The blending of genres is done very well throughout. It starts to lose me in the middle but the beginning and end are strong.
This project is such a strong experience that you’re not gonna get anywhere else. All its elements, either “good” or “bad”, from the groundbreaking production to the chopped mixing it all just works so well even though sometimes it really shouldn’t. There’s a lot of other projects that go for this sound but nothing else brings the feeling that this project was able to potently create
I listened to their first couple punk albums before listening to this one and because they’re so different maybe that has something to do with it, but outside of a few tracks I’m really not messing with this album.
It’s a straight improvement across the board from the debut and sees the band leaning and crafting more of their post-punk sound
I haven’t dived into a lot of hardcore punk so this albums baseline sound I’m pretty new to. There are a lot of great riffs on this thing paired with some excellent song writing and structuring
I only know of Kim through occasional weird features that get attention and never actually sat down and listened through a whole album. This one’s pretty good, the production is solid throughout shoutout to frost children. My problem was the lyrics were either decent or annoying and it’s kinda an even split throughout the album.
This album has vibemaxxed-out. Get the homies together to smoke to this shit while laying on some of those massive human sized beanbags.
Came back to this after a while and it’s still very good. The production has a lot of interesting and unique elements to it and the lyric writing is quite good. Lydia does a great job of making catchy lyrics that toe the line between goofy and having real meaning with her delivery and when placed in the context of the song.
This was a bit of a mixed bag for me. I’m a huge fan of their previous albums that had a lot of varied and noisy production that they’ve leaned away from on this album and gone more for an indie rock sound. I found the tracks that leaned more towards a indie rock and away from noise rock I found a little generic and the tracks that had that varied and noisy production I really enjoyed.
As far as I can tell this seems like one of the first industrial hip hop albums to get a decent amount of attention and I’ve been meaning to check it out for awhile. It’s super impressive project with great writing, rapping, and of course excellent production. Not my favorite from the group, which is Absence, but that really comes down to personal genre preferences and they’re both exceptional.
