Considering I loved all 4 singles that came out for this album, I was expecting to like this album on a similar level to Trench. Looking back, it should have been expected that this album would be inconsistent or at least slightly convoluded. It's not that the music within the album is bad (except for Lavish), but Clancy lacks the cohesiveness that a great concept album should have, and feels less thought out than twenty one pilots' best work.

Anyone who says they don't like this album is lying.

Cute and very well written

It's still insane to me that she was 17 when this released. The amount of depth in the writing and clarty in the ideas expressed is so impressive, especially for someone at this age. The style of the synth heavy production is so ahead of its time and influenced so many great pop acts that came after. This will be considered a pop classic forever.

It’s rare that a metal album, or any album for that matter, can maintain this level of consistency for nearly an hour. All 53 minutes go stupid hard with some of my favorite guitar riffs ever (Bombtrack, Bullet in the Head, Wake Up) and general great instrumentation. Another highlight of the album is the lyrics and vocals. The vocal delivery is so perfectly timed and rhythmic that it makes every gives every line that much more punch. This album is a must listen

Consistent in both sound and quality. Fun listen every time

It’s got that classic 70s charm but outside of the title track, nothing really impresses

I struggle to give this a low score because Robyn constantly gives energy to every track but… this album just hasn’t aged well for me. Don’t get me wrong, there are much worse early 2010s electro pop but something about this style of music to me, has its own bubble in this time period. Outside of hits, there isn’t much that actually stands out for good reason. The other things that stand out is in the absurdity of songs like Fembot and Dance to the Beat. I’ll ... read more

This is brutal

With how short this is, it’s so impressive how much substance this album contains. There’s so much punch in the lyrics and delivery that Pusha T brings to the table, with both features bringing their A game as well. Short and very, very sweet.

Hydrogen bomb vs coughing baby

It’s literally just Stressed Out but better. Feels way more emotional and genuine rather than being edgy and making me cringe at every line. Singles are 3/3

Unsurprisingly great production throughout, but the repetitiveness makes songs towards the second half feel bland. The narritive is obviously very personal and heartfelt but feels lacking in substance on a couple tracks. Still overall enjoyable

Kendrick is the goat

Insane level of consistincy from song to song makes every second of this 42 minute experience feel worth it

Solid, consistent production makes this project worth listening to, despite it's flaws. I found many of the songs choruses outsine the verses, making the verses seem boring and less enjoyable. Still an overall positive experience.

Back in middle school, when my taste in music was VERY different from what it is now (AJR, twenty one pilots, stuff like that), The Black Parade was one of my favorites. It also happens to be one of the only albums that I would still consider one of my all time favorites to this day. I immediately found connection in the energetic, punky sound and fascinating concept, and these connections have carried on (pun intended) with me into my high school years.

The first 10 tracks by themselves is ... read more

MCR/Green Day vibes in all the best ways. The album can’t come soon enough

A couple years from now, this will be considered a classic. The incredible consistency and production on this makes it stand toe to toe with LDA and Congratulations as the best in MGMT’s discography

Never would have knew how much I love this type of jazz and soul if I never listened to this. What Now is such a unique, smooth, and charismatic experience that makes it a 2024 must listen
