Rated 8/10

OVERRAAAAAAAAATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but good

The fact this has the same average as LZ 1 is insane. The first track is so overrated that i think it's crazy, the best song? No it's the worst song, i don't like Every Single Night.

Daredevil is forgettable, Valentine is actually pretty good, Jonathan as controversial at this may be, is the peak of the album.

Left Alone is good, Werewolf is REALLY good. Periphery is not very good, Regret is better, Anything We Want is better, and then Hot Knife is great.

This album has a weird arc for me, considering it starts off poor, gets better, falls off again, and ends good with Hot Knife.

It's a good album, but The Pawn was like a mile better.

NEED TO HEAR RATING: HEAR

Best song: Jonathan
Worst song: Every Single Night
Underrated: Regret

Rated 10/10

Fiona's best

Rated 6/10

If you can do "anything you want", then why didn't you write better songs?
