4.0 excellent | XSebbyMcMuffinX | October 12th 22 | This actually might be my favorite Psychostick album because of the personal connection to the material. This album is really effective at assessing a depressing mind state and making light of it. For instance, the lyrics to the second track could be taken seriously - "I could off myself but I'm too lazy to try" - but the context of being an anti-inspirational hardcore song feels like a roast from a friend. The track "Adulting" perfectly describes losing a grip on taking care of yourself because all of your effort goes into supporting yourself in a cycle that brings no joy - "I don't want to human today, no more brushing teeth, let them decay. Haven't showered in over a week. I don't even want to think." - But again, these thoughts that could be normal in an abnormal mind state are provided a context that actually makes them humorous to observe. It's actually pretty effective art in the form of comedy. Aside from that, there are a few tunes that just make me absolutely happy, like "Thinkin' With Yer D" with it's catchy swing feel, and "Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on Toast With Sriracha" sounding like an original System of a Down track. Tracks like "Introvert Party Time" and "Moving Day" are thematically well-executed and I think legitimately clever. This album is a fantastic representation of shaking off a bad mood.
