Album Rating: 2.0 | Sound Off
I don't disagree with any of that Symmetry. They sound like a parady of themselves at this point. The songs are shoddily constructed and lazy, the lyrics pretty cringy, and the production sucks. Even so, I can listen through this beginning to end feeling little more than slight annoyance and boredom. The trilogy records still remain painful to get through, even of their own. This is quick, I can enjoy some of the catchy melodies, and I can go on with my day feeling indifferent to the whole experience afterwards.

"I think the offensive part is that this feels like zero effort was put into it. There's no energy."
this - even with the short runtime, this seems to drag its feet. I think what they were going for here was pretty worthwhile in its way - apolitical whateverisms are a healthy agenda atm - but it feels like they dropped the ball :/

hmmm depends
“It’s not that I’m ignoring it, it’s just that the current political climate is something I just can’t draw any inspiration from. I’ve got tons of feelings about it. I think Trump is a piece of shit. I think [Senate majority leader] Mitch McConnell is pure evil. All they care about is looking after the rich and they don’t care about the common people. But I find no inspiration there. It’s so depressing. It’s hard to dance when you can’t get out of bed.”
I vibe with this and find the spirit of resisting politics by gaslighting them much more empowering than music that active or semi-actively takes shots at them (Lana, AJJ, Coldplay, 1975 all spring to mind immediately) - doesn't mean it's always something that's gonna pan off well, ofc
fwiw this is the most rousing political track i've heard recently and has a great backstory with the artist having a scrape and subsequent online feud with a far-right tosspot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZE4JTf7qOWk

Hmm I suppose I can see that. Honestly I'd take this over an overtly political album from LDR or the 1975 any day
