@someone i'm not + dry cleaning obvs sound nothing like this - was rowan's mention re. queer overtones (which I originally said were a novelty for this style on songs this abrasive; rephrased this somewhat bc Midi did indeed walk that walk)
and Sint you will 4.5 this without a doubt *but* I'm calling your mum and she's cancelling your NME subscription so there!!

They had a chance to stick the landing on the closer (by dropping into a sickkkk double-time groove under the chime-y guitar thing and Fabulous Muscles vox) and they blew it
Anyway this has a lot of fun rhythmic moments but the songwriting and lyrics are pretty unfocused and "divers" is the worst attempt at experimental pop(?????) I've heard in ages
|
| |
Also the singer is annoying AF on like every song but the closer and I guess Maria

Album Rating: 3.0
Agreed probably would have 3.5'ed if the vocalist wasn't so annoying
|
| |
Damn like everybody I know says this album is really good lmao, I still gotta jam
|
| |
Album starts off so strong but dwindles a bit imo; still very strong overall, really enjoyed it but after the first two tracks I started thinking I might be looking at a new frontrunner for AOTYSF. Not quite.

also, cover is a pee pee

steak join me

pheromone has betrayed everything he ever stood for he is listening to black country new road and cavalcade in a toilet cubicle right now psst pass it on
|

Any concessions? Well, the queer overtones on “Slate”, “Pure Mode” and “Maria” in particular at least have a distinct voice behind them
This smells of gatekeeping, and the surrounding paragraph does not adequately justify or clarify the potentially dicey statement, hence it remains sounding quite fishy. #teamcancelJohnny
Jk, other than that a great review obvs. Pos’d

i stand for nothing except mio best girl supremacy

"potentially dicey statement"

Yeah queerness is so broad that I wouldn’t counterpoint it with much of anything stylistically in 2023–but you have a point, , and you don’t have to not say queer, just something more precise
