Yeah, it's safe to say that their EP title was a bad idea because I was in fact really close to actually hating it. And many others will too. The new mainstream direction they took after the first, quite rocky and forward-driven Post Hardcore longplayer was fine for me if it was hitting it's high notes aka being either extremely catchy like for instance Do Re Mi or very emotionally touching and heartfelt like for example Holding Me Down. This new EP unfortunately features neither. All four songs after the opening track in sum are a pure wasteland of uncatchy, boring, uninspired, moody mid-tempo pop crap without any highlights that you guaranteed will have instantly forgotten after having taken your next big dump. The only redmeeming quality is the aforementioned Everything's Just Fine that keeps this CD from being a total and utter trainwreck in the 1-regions of Sputnik ratings. This specific song is a bit of a bop that you just want to nod your head to. Still, Picturesque will need to finally get a great producer up for their next output who has an ear for melodies and harmonies that leave a lasting impression in ones ears or they won't sell or stream anything anymore and a potential tour will become a financial disaster, especially when trying it overseas. You can't even move your hips from side to side live to sleep-inducing, teen girl's teary-eye shit like tracks 2 or 3. TL DR Picturesque 2024 sound like Ed Sheeran took too many roofies and then had a stroke. Just listen to MIA and keep this picture in mind. You can't even make this shit up...
