i’m a huge basement fan, i’ve loved pretty much everything they’ve done so far but something about this album feels really off. i think it’s the production. especially on songs like wired, where the vocals sound so off in the mix and way too quiet. idk, maybe my goats have lost the spark with this one…

carry the weight is so good. aside from lonely is the muse, the original album left me pretty cold. i'm still a pretty big halsey fan though and every single album of hers has at least a couple of bangers.

this might be my favorite american football album...ever. i always thought their first lp was a little overrated (aside from never meant, which is obviously a classic). and while this one isn't perfect, especially lyrically (there are some pretty cringe moments), i still found the songwriting to be emotionally resonant, as well as pretty catchy for how "down" the mood is.

nice vibes, everything sounds very calm and soothing. kacey's voice and the rest of the instrumentation are produced perfectly. however, these songs are a little too downtempo for me, to the point where they blend into each other / fade into the background after a while. i'm getting sad but hopeful vibes, but the overall listening experience is still sort of draining.
