I’ve listened to this three times now and man I honestly just can’t like this. The weird mixing, the odd vocal delivery and the lyricism, idk man nothing is hitting for me here. It is better than count up dracula but that’s not really that good of statement either. Last song was cool, but I do think the vocal mixing was pretty.. odd.
