Review Summary: An EP that lacks any energy after it's first track.
Send Her to Heaven is the latest release from the pop rock group, The All-American Rejects, where they carry on their style of catchy and hook centered rock music. The EP begins with the title track,
Send Her to Heaven which is your typical pop song of the 2010's, but despite this, it holds an extremely anthemic chorus with an absolute earworm of a hook. The lyrics, while nothing spectacular, are fairly good at portraying the story. Tyson Ritter’s vocals are a standout on this track with his solid vocal melodies that get stuck in your head. However, I cannot say the same for the following track.
Gen Why (DGAF) is an absolute trainwreck due to its awful lyrics and irritating melodies. Its chorus is where it truly grinds my gears, however, as it’s try hard edgy lyrics mixed alongside the sugary sweet pop melodies become increasingly vexing each time you hear it. The next and final track,
Demons is not as bad as the previous song, but it still fails due to it being utterly generic and lacking in energy. It is a boring song, and it feels like there was no passion of any sort going into it. It’s emotionally charged lyrics did not seem entirely genuine to me, and as a consequence, it left very little impact on me. I will say Ritter’s vocals were decent here, but they were not good enough to save the song.
The
Send Her to Heaven EP is like an unfinished rollercoaster. It starts off with an incline, but once it gets to the top, there is no more track. So it just goes straight down to the ground in one swift drop.
