soooo overall i think that they made a great international album. it was nice to have this sound back into my life at that point because i was way too in deep into pop. guitars, mate, that's all your life needs. i keep telling to myself that i should check more of their old albums but ugh,,, i'll do it i promise

• production: it was really clear that feldy had to do with this, you can hear that everywhere. honestly, i don't think it could've been better, the album has a great vibe: nostalgic yet angry and powerful at the same time. it encouraged me to get through my very first //month and a half\\ of uni.
  • fav production: bedroom warfare probs lmao what's a favourite in this album
• lyrics: emotionally, it was a rollercoaster. i really like their songwriting and how they express through it. great encouraging anthems came from that rough emotions, and i loved every second of it.
  • fav lyrics: jaded/we are
• vocals: taka has an amazing voice !!!! i was really amazed by the powerfulness and the emotions he could convey. also, props to him in pronouncing english so good: i love me a bilingual artist!
  • fav vocals: i was king/jaded
• instrumental: the band overall did a great job. i'm shit at noticing bass lines so rip me. i did enjoy the drums and the guitar, they gave it a whole new meaning. i was really thankful for that sound comimg back into my life when i needed it the most.
