HEADLINE: interesting production for all 15 seconds it stuck to one idea. Lyrics Bad when present, but often blessedly absent. No single track I would choose to listen to again, but wouldn’t switch off the album if I needed to sleep. Starts very U2 Ooh funky brass on the outro Why is song 2 giving Human League? Maybe the vocals being slightly background to the synth Ooh funky in a head bob way, not a body moving way Oh I like the synth outro again! Track 3 starts Scarborough Fair if it had a rhythm And now we’re folk Kashmir instrumental? Plonky synth. Synth heavy but interesting noises! I like it! Tbf they are not heavy on insightful lyrics but I feel like the production is more of the point here Oh I recognise this track 4 synth. Where do I know it from?? Seriously this is going to drive me insane Harmonica with the steel chair?? That SYNTH. It’s kind of Bowie? But I can’t think of which song The vocals are pretty Bowie too Track 5 Beach Boys?? Woozy near-acapella harmonies Although a hint of Karma Police PAINT IT BLACK they straight up stole the mandolin. Or maybe this came first? I like it though! Lyrics dull af though. ‘She’s so wonderful’ three million times I get it babe Track 6 very first note: Dido Sand in my Shoes Then the plucky Air in Kyoto pizzicato strings And the underlying low piano notes as well? Did somebody do a plagiarism lol It didn’t feel like there was a lot of song in that song Track 7 brings us back to U2 with… is that a dog barking? Ohh someone found the reverb/echo button These songs are like four WHAT WHY IS THERE A DIAL UP NOISE I was about to say these songs are four different songs in a trench coat. They were not written, they were collages of a notebook draft turned in like late homework and the producers did the extra credit Track 8 is once again in the Beach Boys experimental phase. More like the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend parody song Lyrics still not strong. “I love you to pieces” ad nauseam Oh we found the Casio keyboard synth on track 9 and we’re trying to save it with steel drums and a xylophone. At least there are no lyrics to ruin it? I was enjoying myself for a bit but I’m getting a bit bored of the ‘all synths every time’ Aaaand just like that track 10 gives me solid guitars Oh we’re getting proper guitar riffs as well! Did he just say “Is this the legend of liquid brain”??? Unfortunately I think I’d struggle to listen to this again as anything more than background due to the absolute NONSENSE that is our lyrics. Shame because the production vibes are cool Ooh slightly hollow Tears for Fears Shout drums and I’m here for it Xylophone’s back jumpscare Oh don’t start track 11 with an acapella lyric, you don’t have the poetry for it Is that a woman doing backing vocals? Have we discovered women? We are now constantly repeating “can you hear me” and the answer is unfortunately yes because we’re now back to saying “it’s a Tuesday” and no it’s Wednesday Mr. Beta Band you are not Taylor Swift this is not a typical Tuesday night “The trouble with your own thing is you end up on your own” wow that was almost a lyrical insight Track 12 cricket synth and Bob Dylan harmonica with alien abduction flashback synth And now we are clapping along to a song that has whatever the opposite of a beat is These people must have been high. I simply do not believe that anyone sober laid a finger on this album. It’s what I imagine a weed-LSD trip must feel like We seem to be finishing on the prototype for Lofi Girl Oh it didn’t really end it just stopped
