My expectations based on the album art were pretty low. But it was a pretty unique sound and I definitely enjoyed my time with it. Not something I’ll ever seek out

I’m trying to figure out who this music is for. It’s really stripped down, but too hard to be acoustic/folk kinda music. It’s too stripped down to be for hard music fans.

It’s not rap, it’s not pop. Like who would actively seek out this music?

Generic, unexciting, kinda boring.

In terms of their sound, I think they’re WAY ahead of their time but then at the same time also heavily influenced my Radiohead so I guess maybe still in their time? I guess that’s just what “Art Rock” is when it’s meant to push boundaries.

Sometimes I find art rock a bit pretentious. How I usually encounter it, is some weird music happening with the vocalist mumbling slowly and it sounds like they try too hard to be different. I don’t get that vibe from this record at all. It sounds effortless and everything seems to work and have a place in these songs.

It’s always strange when an artist chooses to have a super distorted, or as I call it, a “fat” sound. The bass guitar honestly sounds like it got turned up to 11 and is just constantly peaking, but it somehow works in the context of this music? Because the vocals are delicately placed and well balanced and tie in the entire sound.

I think this is a wonderful hidden gem. At least for me, I’ve never heard of this band.

Couldn't even tell recall 1 song after listening to it. Very, very forgettable.

The more albums I listen to by The Kinks, the more I absolutely adore them. They’re just fun, feel good, and a bit silly.

Afternoon tea was a delight. Tin soldier man is awesome. I can see myself absolutely loving this album after a couple of listens.

I thought this was a solid record. I don’t think I’ma big fan of the singer but the instrumentation was top notch.

I’m a little confused. Are they nu-metal? Are they like a funk inspired rock band? It feels like I’m getting whiplash with how different each song is. There’s some decent vibes in here but I feel like there’s just some downers in here.

One of the things on their Wikipedia uses the term “rap-and-roll” and I feel like that fits.

Overall I don’t think i really enjoyed it all that much. The good songs were heavily outweighed by the bad ones and the lack of identity of the album.

You’re telling me this guy actually played in a prison and recorded a live album there? Crazy.

He seems like such a dude. When flushed from the bathroom of your heart played, and you can hear laughing from both him and the audience with his ridiculous lyrics, it’s quite funny.

Immediate first thought, “wow this mix is REALLY good”. But then the singer started…

I guess his voice is really unique but it’s just so weird. It’s not my only gripe though, I found the music a bit dull in general.

I enjoyed the last song more than I probably should. I really liked the ambience and I think it’s a great album closer.

It was decently funky and I enjoyed my time with it. Caught myself listening past the album to his other stuff.

I’m like torn, because I liked it but I don’t know if I liked it THAT much.

Better than I thought it would be going into it. I found that every song had its own charm and the dynamics of the album were great. There are delicate, soft parts and then other hard hitting (relatively, nothing crazy) punchy parts that cut through.

Great album

Felt like a teenage girl’s diary.

There are parts that are pretty good. It’s got that edginess that I like, but it’s just the lack of other instruments to me that make it sound very narrow.

No fault of the artist really as it’s more of a stylistic choice.

It was okay? I guess? Idk there’s really nothing special about thing here. Bass player is good though.

Literally bard music.

It was a collection of songs. They played. And then it was over before I knew it. It was weird it’s like I blinked and it was over.

Honestly I’d have to listen to it again but I didn’t hate any of it.

Literally sounds like a 90s rap album, but in French. But the French influence in the instrumentation is definitely heard. It’s just kinda funny that 90s rap is a style that transcends cultures.

Very ambient, much euphoria. Wow.

It was cool, I didn’t hate it. There’s some value in here to space out and just explore your mind.

I can see why this is a top album. Very good collection of songs. Words I’d use to describe this would be powerful, raw, and for whatever reason the word exclusive comes to mind. But in the sense that this sound is exclusively theirs.

Kinda sounds like doom metal, with some blues and like midwestern emo.

Great album.

Honestly I felt like I should have hated this more than I actually did. I think the beats were captivating enough for me to enjoy, and her voice compliments the music really well. It’s certainly a dark and edgy vibe and I think it really nails the execution.
