On paper, Tell Me More is a deeply obnoxious borefest. In practice, it’s actually fine.
We Are One has absolutely nothing to offer. It is an empty, hollow pit of a song.
For what it is, LIKE YXU WXULD KNXW (AUTUMN TREES) works surprisingly well, for once. CORPSE is solid on the chorus, Scarlxrd’s voice occasionally crosses into grating territory but not to an unlistenable extent, and Kordhell’s production actually ties the song together.
Once again I’m not fond of Corpse’s rapping but the production on MISA MISA! is fine enough and I actually think Scarlxrd’s parts are decent.
Between the rubbish lyrics and boring emo-rap production, Life Waster is… well, it’s another CORPSE song.
Sure, the pop cuts are decent- but Never Worry’s bright, bubbly style of dance works so much better with the rap cuts.
Cult Of Personality is a kickass song with some of my alltime favourite lyrics which I’m reviewing now for no reason at all
There are some really beautiful moments on Space Heavy, but there is the occasional lull too. I feel as though some tracks, particularly ones in the middle, are lacking the same depth or emotional impact as those towards the start or the end.
Superman sees Tom MacDonald… going AJR? That’s the vibe I get here, not politically but moreso lyrically- applying some childlike, ill-advised imagery (‘we need Superman’) to a topic which warrants a lot more than that. Sure, it’s better than “Bacteria is life on Mars, but a heartbeat isn’t life on Earth’ or ‘Racism is gay, if you’re offended, that’s r******d’ but I’m not seeing how this is in any way decent.
Sunburn is a fine, passable record and I understand the appeal, but it doesn’t stand out to me amongst a crowd of other very similar albums. The songs frequently blend into one (there were a couple of times I didn’t even realise I was on a different song) and I don’t get sense that Dominic himself is at his best lyrically here either. Credit where credit is due, he comes off as likeable enough- but overall I left Sunburn feeling like Dominic Fike made ‘an indie pop ... read more
Action Bronson’s excellent verses really brighten up Blue Chips 7000, even when the production isn’t all that captivating.
HOT DEMON B!TCHES NEAR U ! ! ! is a humongous step back for CORPSE, and that’s staying something because there wasn’t much to step back from in the first place
I’m still not into the lyrics at all, but Agoraphobic is much better produced than all of CORPSE’S songs before this one.
