I think all around it was an alright album (my base rating is an 8/10) here’s some of my favorites.
The first actual song kickboxer reminded me of i hate hartley, it kicks in as soon as possible with energy, jonny isn’t even singing joel is just ripping and it’s awesome.
The original house of cards song was alright, enough said.
Heaven sent also reminded me of like pittsburgh, that one song that blows up on any album, and i feel like it has that same vibe and energy, emotional, and energetic too.
I feel like bleed can have more potential and i say that bc of the monotone voice “i bleed the way i bleed”, other than that it’s good.
I want to say it’s my favorite but this one i think could have been more is the song Afterlife
The opening is great and the choruses are great too, but something is missing or off that really blocks it from becoming great and i can’t really tell what it is.
Last one i really liked was swan dive, nice mellow song with some heavy stuff here and there.
all in all it was good and cant wait to see the direction for the band in the future, still waiting for them to play youngbloods songs again instead of being at 1 show 😂.
