Amo sees BMTH making their most genre bending and experimental record yet. The production is generally fine, and they therefore succeed in combining rock, metal, EDM, and pop. However, Amo is very poorly written. It's filled to the brim with cliches and cringe worthy moments. Furthermore, the missteps on Amo are disgustingly awful, which hinders an otherwise promising sound. While there is quality to be found, Amo will be looked back on as a missed opportunity for greatness.

Love Train is the Meghan Trainor record that angers me the least. With that said, it’s easily the most generic music she has ever created. Not even laughable bad, just negligible.

Best songs: Marry Me

As a Bright Eyes fan, I’m pleased to say that I wasn’t dissapointed. Conor Oberst continues to be one of my favorite lyricists, and Bridgers adds a lot to the sound. Sadly, the record lacks some edge and otherwise pleasant songs end up being forgetable. Better Oblivion Community Center is a fun and dense record that won’t leave much of an impact on the music scene as a whole.
