as someone who actually enjoyed mgk's last two albums as well as neon shark, it's surprising how much i don't care about this new release. it's not that i think i would hate this project. i skimmed a few of the songs and some of it is kinda vibey but it just seems like hollow emo rap that never exceeds "kinda good". i just have so many better things to listen to i suppose. plus my enjoyment of their previous projects was more a result of travis barker anyway.

he looks like the final boss of theater kids

AI generated pop punk music

imagine dragons is my favorite band but this is terrible

this is what pure nostalgia sounds like

at least death & desire is good

the only good song on this is a remix

i thought music couldn't get better than this when i was 12

I can't tell how much of my enjoyment is influenced by nostalgia, but this definitely goes hard

i like the funny song about shoes
