Messenger ain't bad but it's very middle-of-the-road for this album I feel. Amedeo nails it on Falling Man and Doll is Mine fo sho

It's not that Messenger is awful or anything, it's just like...



This album would probably be a 5/5 if it wasn't on here

Oh wow even more than Falling Man and Maddening Cloud?


Those are the weaker two of the four songs he does solo, and are probably my two least favorite songs on the album. Actually "Falling Man" might be third weakest with "Magic Mountain" second weakest.

No way, Falling Man is easily his best and like his only one that's in the top 5 on the album honestly

Falling Man is a pretty big consensus pick, though I'd take Doll over it some days. I think Maddening Cloud is probs my least favourite, depending how much Magic Mountain hits the spot each listen

Oddly, Anticipation has grown into my favourite. That Maybe it didn't happen / maybe all of this would go away verse is one of the most chilling moments in these guys' discog imo

Heh, all of this band's albums are big growers, but this is one that gets the most out of it ;]

this album has such an interesting style, somewhere halfway between evanescence and mew. its melodramatic, operatic and emo all at the same time. unfortunately i couldnt get past the vocals, especially the male vocals i found super grating :/

"somewhere halfway between evanescence and mew"

whut. and yup blonde redhead in general, and especially the vocals, and especially the male ones, is a slow grower experience

I liked the female vocals off the bat



Also "somewhere halfway between evanescence and mew" needs to be a copypasta on here and I normally don't like sput copypastas

me too tbh, but it didn't help that I started with Lemons (which probs has the weakest Amedeo tracks of any BR album)

gonna start referring to anything vaguely macabre as evanescencecore from now

Messenger is at once the most dispensable and absolutely great in the #2 segue slot. Wouldn't drop it, but it's v much the perfect average of this sound

Also the above list that has Anticipation as the second weakest track here is cursed and I want to nuke it. Most chilling Kazu moment here aside from the opener maybe
