Mutation

Would I call this album good?
God no, it's a mashup of edgy lyrical tropes and generic riffs with Emmy Mack's vocals occasionally just comes off as annoying or grating.
However, I can't help but feel drawn to Redhook's latest album despite that. Be it the over the top fast rapping of Bomb.com where Stand Atlantic gets a name drop, to the pop punk Tourist about a guy basically being a tourist to her love life to the intense metal of Cannibal which is just straight up a good track, to even the over the top cover of Tate McRae's Greedy earlier in the year, you can tell that Redhook are just here to have fun while poking at their trauma a little too. It refuses to take itself as seriously as its debut, even when shouting back at past songs like on Scream 2, with a lot of the stuff on here going full Ice Nine Kills mode and referencing famous horror franchises or tropes.

Also, there is a song on here that compares having sex to a slip and slide.
