5/5
There are countless incurable diseases, and the only thing that hurts me so much is the unrepeatability of childhood. I haven't listened to this record in ages yet I remembered every song and lyric. It transported me back to a time and place where everything felt a little bit easier than now, with the weight of a teenager on my shoulders, worries I thought were the most unbearable in the world, like the first heartbreak, an unanounced exam at school, your crush believing you don't exist, your friends hyping you up to do some stuff you regret later. Looking back, they feel almost comical and surreal when compared to now once I'm navigating adulthood and parenthood. Drinking beer, shooting pool, playing darts, discussing football, science, aliens, Mortal Kombat: Conquest the TV series from 1998, the golden generation of France that won the World Cup, whether Daniel Defoe's book 'Robinson Crusoe' is the best book ever, whether popsicles and ice creams are cousins, computers, Grand Theft Auto and Age of Empires, 'Black Knight' with Martin Lawrence, my new DVD and surround system, and naturally, Bon Jovi's hits. Of course, I no longer listen to Bon Jovi nor have I thought of their music. Of course, my favourite band in the world is The National and I rate 'I Love You Honeybear' by Father John Misty. Of course, I come around as the archetypal music snob that sits in the corner and criticises every person at a party. Of course my friends are married with kids and we rarely see each other. Of course I can no longer recognise my hometown or locate the places we used to roam. Of course I can only travel to my childhood and formative years through music. Of course I'm a nostalgic man. Of course I'm clinging on to memories. Memories are films about ghosts.

Think of the last scene of Blade Runner 2049. Now imagine lying in snow and bleeding. The red covers the white while the camera zooms out. ‘Treasure’ is that kind of an album.

Unfortunately, it didn’t pass the test of time.
