10,000 gecs

Y'know, Newgrounds and Youtube Poop perfected this type of music even before these two knew what an instrument was.

Extremely, extremely channel-surfing style music, but in a way that I can't tell if whether it's helpful or harmful for focusing. I now understand what people are talking about when they call something a "vocal stim."

I had a pretty fun time with this as a one-off, but I dunno that I'm planning to put this into regular rotation any time soon. Little bit too hyper.

Perhaps not as silly or shocking as 1000 gecs, but I think their attempt at parodying 90s and 2000s rock music allows the duo to shine musically, as there are some incredibly catchy and solid hooks, as if some of these songs could have been lesser hits in their respective genre. That is, until you dig into the lyrics, which very rarely are serious or deep, and if they are, you argue with yourself on if they are doing it ironically or not. What is known is that this is a step in a direction of making extremely solid, albeit niche, songs that cater perfectly to Gen Z and younger's deteriorating attention span, and from what this album portrays, building it back up again after the hyper and distracted first album. Some of the songs don't work for me, and I still don't appreciate my ear drums being ruptured by tracks like Billy Knows Jamie, but I think I officially consider myself a 100 gecs fan.

2/5

This opening track is such a banger. Wow this album is such a sonic blender. They are really taking as many sounds from the 2000's and 2010's as they can. Billy Knows Jamie is a honest to god nu-metal song. And then I Got My Tooth Removed is a thirds wave ska/ carnival polka song? Wow what a cool album.

Absolutely pish. Like the worst dubstep songs re-recorded by children, with lyrics by barely literate toddlers.
Must be one of the worst albums I have ever heard.
At least it's short

Sorry even 25 mins of this was too much for me, the winey vocals did my head in.

A mishmash of genres drenched in layers of irony. Undoubtedly a unique blend, but it comes across like the sonic equivalent of a novelty mountain dew flavor. Won't be part of my regular rotation, but I have no doubt they will be included in future editions of the book. My favorite track was "One Million Dollars," which was more sample based. If the whole album was more of a collage like that, I'd be on board. But when they sing it just kind of makes me wince, especially when auto-tuned - regardless of whether that was an ironic aesthetic choice or not.
