3.5 greatdidnt ask to be staff, was made staff anyway, then got demoted for not doing staff stuff | August 8th 24

Kirin is traditionally overdoing it on the vocals in a loveably campy way that usually suits his music, but this time around he brought along a type of production that quite a few times leaves the songs in a sonic rut, underplaying the melodic tension, and dragging the attention to itself unnecessarily.

3.0 goodchilledpunkrock | February 29th 24

About half of this album is some of the best stuff Kirin's ever written, the other half... not so much. Young Drunk Driver, If I Could Sing, Anaemic Adonis, Eternally Hateful, In Absolutes, Crazier Idea, and It's the Truth are all fantastic, whether they're passionate ballads or weirdo synth pop. But good lord, Chop Chop is one of the most irritating things I've ever heard, Bread of Love is an intro that feels like it never starts, My Little One feels the same way, and the two instrumentals on here are just wasted space. I love everything else he's done but after the long wait I can't help but feel like this is a bit of a disappointment as a whole album. At least there's enough individual highlights to enjoy, but this is the first time he's fumbled the album experience imo.
