Mannequin Pussy's latest offering, "I Got Heaven," marks a significant evolution for the band, showcasing their ability to fuse hardcore punk with indie rock into a dynamic and unique sound. The album resonates particularly with Gen Z through its lyrics, while the production quality nods to the revered noise pop and power pop bands of the late '90s and early 2000s. This blend of modern sensibilities with a respectful homage to musical predecessors is a standout feature of Mannequin Pussy's work, offering a compelling listening experience that feels both fresh and familiar. Despite its strengths, the album occasionally grapples with a sense of inconsistency, presenting a "two-faced" nature in its execution. Nevertheless, "I Got Heaven" emerges as a vibrant and invigorating record, reinforcing Mannequin Pussy's growing reputation for crafting engaging and forward-thinking music.
