All the popular user reviews have no pfp at all, and after a bit of investigating, there's a chance they're the same person just trying to up the rating, but I'm not going to jump to conclusions. So here's an actual honest review of the album, from yours truly. ERROR by The Warning. Every song.

1. DISCIPLE: The verses are very good, but the chorus lacks something and could've been better. Either way, it's a really good banger of a song. (87)

2. CHOKE: Listened to the other version, the remix with grandson and Zero 936. Thankfully, there isn't the loud obnoxious version that we see from grandson songs. So, this is the better version. And it's pretty good. (84)

3. ANIMOSITY: To be fair, it's not as good as the other two songs, it's a ballad obviously, but alt rock ballads were never really my cup of tea when it comes to alt/hard rock. It's still decent tho. (72)

4. MONEY: The guitar riffs are very, very great at the beginning. The verses are incredible. Then if kind of falls apart in the chorus. I don't really like it. So I'm going to predict the rest of the pattern here that most of the songs on the album are going to have great verses, followed by subpar choruses that are kind of forgettable. However, the chorus doesn't make me hate the song. It's still a very good song. (85)

5. AMOUR: Once again, I predicted it. The chorus doesn't fit the rest of the song. Ok, that's not how I worded than I thought I would, but the chorus doesn't live up to what the build-up before is suggesting. I like this kind of "stripped" down song on the album however. (81)

6. EVOLVE: Not really feeling this one actually. It doesn't really hit me on all aspects of the song. It actually kind of sounds generic. Let's hope it doesn't fall from here. (55)

7. ERROR: Fine. I have nothing really to say. It's just fine. Again, not the fan of alt rock ballads. I think that's because of the cringe songs I hear on the radio. (65)

8. Z: Let me guess, this song is going to be about Gen Z. Oh boy. *listens to song* "Revolutionary Kool-Aid kids". Okay, it's about them. And this time, there's sort of no chorus? I think they heard me, so they decided to remove it entirely. I never said that they were garbage, I said that it was just average. However, it is sort of better than the last two songs, but the chorus kills the rating entirely. (70)

9. 23: If the rest of the songs are just alt rock ballads now, then I'll be majorly disappointed. Where's the upbeat, fast paced Tony-Hawk like songs that were in the beginning of the album? Again, it literally sounds like EVOLVE and ERROR. To be fair, I can't really tell the difference. (60)

10. KOOL AID KIDS: Obviously a reference a lyric to Z, and it's sort of a mix between upbeat and slow? Honestly, it's the best of the ballads in this album. (74)

11. REVENANT: Oh? An acoustic guitar? Interesting. And it's incredibly boring. There's nothing special here. Sure, it SORT OF builds up in the latter half, but it's a forgettable song in what has been a majorly mixed second half of the album. (40)

12. MARTRIO: WOW. If they speak in Spanish, then the ballads will be as more tolerable and probably more enjoyable. Actually, IT IS enjoyable and I liked it. Perhaps sing in Spanish in the ballads, and this album is very good. But hey, it's their choice to do it, not mine. (82)

13. Breathe (Bonus Track): So this is the bonus track of the album. And the only that's not in caps. So you know that's a bonus track. It's like REVENANT, but with a piano this time. And this time, I like piano ballads. They hit better for some reason. But the production is very mid and sounds very low quality. Perhaps they did that on purpose. (70)

Verdict: A very strong first half, followed by a forgettable and disappointing second half. The album has some great songs, like DISCIPLE and CHOKE, but follows up with generic ballads that sound the same that are just boring and not good. However, those two songs I mentioned before at least made the score at least a 7.

Average Score: 71.1 ---> Rounded to 71.
