blown a wish 2nd place loomer first place

Album Rating: 5.0

acceptable placement. Though if any song were technically considered "filler" it'd be loomer (even though its still a really pretty tune).

Album Rating: 3.0

how does it feel to be wrong johnny?

saying wrong things is bad agreed

Album Rating: 3.0

honestly, the whole stretch between I Only Said and What You Want (excluding Sometimes) is kinda a flop on the ideas front - can at least appreciate that every song in the opening run + Soon does something distinctly different, but that patch is indulgent gloop with bunk songwriting. viable comfort music but not rly anything more

and even then Sometimes is probably the most derivative song in a wider sense even if it is distinct within the record - not that this matters since it's a highlight, but maybe that is telling hmm

This objectively isn’t a 3

you don't know the first thing about objectivity

Bruh I’m a human dictionary I know everything. Shoot I failed to mention my objectively superior music taste. Wait, what do you know? You 4 everything that sounds like remotely Japanese digital topsy turvy uh-oh cheese factory grater from Hell meltdown music

good points

Long story short great album

if u have souvlaki 5d but not this then theres something seriously wrong

Ahh, there’s the rub

Album Rating: 3.0

Souvlaki's songwriting chops clear this for days. I get the case for this being the apex of horny mood music for moody bois thinking about hugs, but let's not mix them metrics

"You 4 everything that blahblah pizzashit"

honey i *review anything that fits that bill at 3.5 or above; the shit i've heard below that threshold would turn your balls to jelly

I think Souvlaki relies on texture and the emotion conveyed by its sonic palette more so than the songwriting itself in a very similar way to this, but for the most part not in a way that feels as cohesive or fully formed

half of souvlaki is beautiful swirly goodlness half of it is painfully average stuff that shouldve been left on the cutting room floor

Album Rating: 3.0

Souvlaki has a slight minority of songs that lean on aesthetics, and even then it boasts way stronger vocal melodies and explores a wider palette (v easy to label something cohesive when it deals with all of one sound). Bloweyelashwish is also a more interesting competitor in that regard

and that aside, the only track here that comes remotely close to the pop chops on When The Sun Hits, Machine Gun or Alison is When You Sleep (which is nice, but doesn't develop the magic of its opening minute any futher)

“the shit i've heard below that threshold would turn your balls to jelly”
