Lovely writing Neek, always enjoy reading your reviews. Not hearing anything that interesting in this, personally. :c Will try again soon, but.

Edit: Actually, skimming through again, I love the production on this, I think I've definitely misjudged. Will amend soon.

I gave this a couple of listens and still debating with myself about a rating.

I get that Dewi~! My 3.5 is optimistic, but a 3.0 would be undeservedly critical.

A 3.5 is objectively accurate but I do fear budgie's wrath for such a rating.

"all the good production in the world couldn't save the album from songwriting this janky and melodies this eh :["



singling out that Comort song as particularly bad (let alone worst song you've heard in 2020) was weird enough given how inoffensive it is (and also that it's probably one of the better songs here) but now ur just straight trollin'. songwriting on this is nothing but straightforward and just reflecting on all the janky j-shit you jam it makes these comments even less believable

@Potscomment 1) Edge song wins the shitlist because the melodies + lyrics irritate me more actively than anything else here (that you-uu-uu-uuu-uuuu'll hook can get tae fuck), won't dispute other tracks being more viable contenders for the worst here

2) the writing mentality for tracks inc but not ltd to that entire opening-4 run basically consists of each track plodding listlessly, sporadically gaining or loosing layers that don't particularly complement each other and leaning towards sometimes vague (opener) sometimes facile (truth nugget) vocal melodies for their main sense of direction. this probably holds up a whole lot better if you buy into the vocal[melodie]s, but i v much do not, and don't think most of these tracks are particularly cogent on any other basis despite their simple structures. the final third or so benefits from its sparser approach because there's less awkward surplus clashing with her very interruptible vocal lines

3) applicable example of j-jank plz, and for mutual benefit of attention span don't bother with anything self-consciously obnoxious à la zombie-chang
