Pre-Intro
Happy Friday everyone. Hope you all are doing very well. Just wanted to make a little statement here since this has been on my mind. I'm going to be taking a break for this weekend. I think it would be really healthy for me to leave this review up for the entire weekend + Monday, so that I can get a little bit of a break. Writing these reviews is definitely not easy, and I've sort of lost some enjoyment from writing. It's been more of a daily chore to get out of the way, so I think I'd like to take the weekend + Monday off, and release my next review this Tuesday. Thank you all for reading, and I hope you guys have an excellent weekend. Much love.
Intro
So MCR, let's get into it. Obviously not my band, this is more of a band that Jake likes but I can definitely appreciate a lot of elements in these songs.
Thoughts & Feelings?
I'm in a weird mood today. This album makes me feel like I'm just laying on the ground accepting the fact that I'm gonna die or something. Maybe it's just my anxiety talking but whatever. I don't really know man don't ask me to elaborate further.
For some reason I just don't have a very good ear today. I think it's because I have bad anxiety currently. Yeah so forgive me today for not saying much.
Smash or Pass?
Helena - SMASH. This is a pretty good song. It's easy going and just sounds like your standard emo punk rock song. There's nothing super special about this song it just sounds like a generic punk rock song. Not that that's a bad thing though, it sounds fine and all.
Give 'Em Hell, Kid - SMASH. Nice bass involved in the beginning of this one. This one has a lot of really cool elements that I like. This song is pretty catchy and super short. Pretty enjoyable all around to be honest.
To the End - SMASH. Holy shit what a fucking solo this one has. That shit is really cool. Other than that, yeah this is a good song. I don't have much to say about this.
You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison - Smash. This sounds much more like an MCR song that I'm used to. What the fuck is this title though Jesus Christ lmao. Yeah overall though this is a good song. I'm not gonna lie I'm not going to be talking very much. I don't really want to deep dive today.
I'm Not Okay (I Promise) - Smash. Of course everyone knows this song but honestly I don't think I've ever actually heard this song. Yeah it's alright. Not a whole lot to say. I think this song tries a little too hard so that kind of stresses me out but whatever.
The Ghost of You - Smash. This one is okay. Same thing as the last where I think it's just trying a little too hard and it needs to be toned down a little bit and be a bit more simple.
The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You - SMASH. I really enjoy this one actually.
Interlude - Smash? I guess? This is an interlude so it doesn't really count.
Thank You for the Venom - SMASH. WHat the fuck there's metal elements in this song? This could easily pass off as a Billy Talent song during the intro. I REALLY fucking love this song. This is my favourite song just because of how much I am enjoying it right now.
Hang 'Em High - SMASH. I enjoy this one a lot. It has a lot of really cool elements that I enjoy. The opening was a little strange but other than that, yeah this is a good song.
It's Not a Fashion Statement, It's a Deathwish - Smash. This one is pretty good but I have just lost the ability to think about music. This is a very strange review for me. Can you tell I'm overworked?
Cemetery Drive - SMASH. Is this a Pantera reference? I really fucking hope so. I love Pantera. Anyway yeah this song is alright. I really enjoy this song actually, it's a great mix of being laid back and also punk rock so that's a good balance to really enjoy for me.
I Never Told You What I Do for a Living - Smash. This is a strange sounding song but almost in a good way. This is a cool song but it's probably not for me.
Conclusion
Yeah sorry everyone about the lackluster review, I'm just super overworked at the moment. Anyway yeah this is a really good album despite me not being able to express so. I enjoyed it.
RANK: A
What do you guys think? You all know what to do.
