so aggressively and oppressively fake that it's kind of beautiful
the fact that you probably see this rating as slanderous is just about the best evidence for its quality i could give
definitely one of the best albums released in the first 50 days of 2023 featuring a surprising stylistic shift for the artist and having a third track with the title "running out of time"
possibly scarier than its successor, even when the tracks are a notch lower
while it may have hit hard on release for being a relatively respectful post mortem release, half of LND just feels like demos
while its "concept" is interesting, it fails to delve into it enough to make it more than just a serviceable trap album
while it lacks the strange sound that made its predecessor so special, HTE outweighs that with some of the tightest and best written pop music of our day
more than worth a listen for the shock value alone, though many tracks are little more than a nice vibe
while its hyper-metaphorical lyrics occasionally border on pretentious, that's more than made up for by halsey's best produced and most interesting songs to date
emo rap with an edge mixed in with fun experimentation - though it could've used some filtering
