I've heard of this band before but never listened to them, so I gave this album a shot and I like it alright. I thought the first half was pretty good, but the second half gets bogged down with too many slow, samey songs. I get that it's a breakup record, and it sounds like the lyrics are like a stream of consciousness or reading straight out of a diary. If anyone can recommend another of Montreal album as a better entry point, I'd check that out.

I would like this a whole lot more if it were instrumental. Unfortunately, I cannot get past the singer yelling outside his range. I gave it three chances to grow on me and I just don't want to hear it anymore.

Obviously, fuck Trump and the whole clown administration. It's a shame we need this album at all, but I appreciate Vince using his music to criticize the state of America right now. Must've galvanized him to make this one of his strongest, most focused albums yet, not to mention the huge shift in style to a punk sound.

Rosa Walton - Tell Me It's A Dream

Checked this out because of Cyberpunk. It's not like that song at all, not that I was expecting it. Instead, this is pretty much some standard indie pop rock with a couple of jangly songs, other than July, which stands out as the most interesting track, and Heart to Heartbreak is very catchy. It's decent, a little too twee for me at times.

Modest Mouse - An Eraser and A Maze
85

Isaac brock sure does have a way with words. It feels like there's a bit of every era of Modest Mouse here. The singles are a bit of Good News/We Were Dead, especially Look How Far. Speak 'N Spell sounds like a sequel to Trailer Trash and Song About Nothing is like an inferior Shit Luck to me. Pretty much no skips other than the short unnecessary interludes.
