Album Rating: 3.5
I dont need a record to be challenging or innovative, but I need a genre to move on, which metal, hardcore and punk music mostly did not do in the last 10 years besides some rare exception. Do I still enjoy basic shit ? Hell yeah.. But even the record I find boring I will not rare any of them under a 2 because I know there were some thoughts and work behind it..
And this is in the 3,5 territory for me and I find it better than Crash (which was a disaster for me)
The biggest problem with this is, it came up straight up after Brat (I dont count Wuthering Heights) and also that the production here sometimes kill itself . You feel like it would go somewhere, a big up .. and nothing following it . It lack some bite
And yeah Camera is a nice vibe-y
Also, on another note I'm just too much of a Charli stan to not be biased about this.
edit : I can understand Panos point and I dont disagree with it. I just dont feel it personally. I find some hooks in this personally, but I get the "it tries too hard to not "bang" enough
