If i wouldnt still fancying listening to it each day i would say its a disappointment because The Fool really carries a signature that was Warpaint, this one doesn't apart for a few songs.



They have a few sections were these dreamlike-postpunky-textures overlapping one another with couple melodies of singers and guitars took place but on their first album this was happening in each song getting me in trance. They tried out more with the synths but they dont make up for the 2nd guitars like on The Fool. I am a bad person to compare everything. i dont know where this comes from. everybody has always to compare things. i think it has something to do with expressing ones true inner statement of being for a measure. a measure in the form of aesthetic and beauty by symmetry and these things. Is it?

it's natural to compare

the fool set the bar so high and this just doesn't hit the same level

needlessly wordy review, but very well-written nonetheless

also this:

I think the most glaring fault in Warpaint’s sound is that songs rarely climax, making their music sometimes feel aimless.


is kind of an odd criticism to me, because i think it's more about creating an atmosphere than having climaxes. i love what's happening musically, and rarely am i left waiting for some epic finale

i get what he means cos some of these songs set a sweet vibe and then just take it nowhere, repeating the same riff or w/e for four minutes

i mean that's fine on tracks like hi but tracks like biggy would do better having some sort of something at the end

also:

"tbh for the first few sentences of this review idk what the hell you are saying"

i partially agree with this, except i know exactly what point you're conveying, it's just awkwardly put together. comes across as a little pretentious. second sentence in particular: "The cost of responsibility: to abdicate the lustrous throne of childhood, to renounce the forgiving pedestal to which our parents have appointed us in favor of the agonizing burdens of autonomy is taxing enough as even a mere wisp of a thought" - 'is taxing enough' seems non sequitur because of how the sentence is set up. i know it isn't, but there's just so much unnecessary wording connecting your central thesis that readers will probably be bogged down trying to decipher what you're saying in certain parts (like that guy i quoted) when you could (and should) be more direct and less cryptic. not trying to pile on. i think the rest of the review flows well and features some strong writing, but the first para bothers me a little.

to address your first part: basically what tommy said is what i meant; i know that the album is very heavily atmospheric but when songs kind of stay the same for a while without adding anything new it gets a little tedious, like they could have left off an entire minute of the song and it would be better. as much as i loved what they were doing with the mood and atmospheres sometimes i just wanted something new to happen.



also, yeah maybe i should revisit that first paragraph this weekend. it seems like a lot of people took issue with the way i opened up the review and the couple times that i've read back through it i too have felt that that part is a little clunky. i'll take a look back at it, thanks for the crits bro!
