Maan I used to really dislike this album mainly since the story couldn't get through to me because the walls of purposeless reverb and overly long slowcore pop tunes, without good melody, carried it. But in 2023, I kept reading about the record; both Spectrum Pulse gave it a spunky 9/10 and a supreme review and Scaruffi gave it a 7 and claimed she has pioneered "a new kind of rock opera, of fictional storytelling with the limited instruments of popular music, and at the same time revived the character of the erudite singer-songwriter". Oh, and she is a fellow autistic so another spin at Preacher's Daughter is only fair on my end.
When I dug into the actual story told in this record, my curiosity rose and I thought I hadn't given it a proper chance. So I did, deciding to read the lyrics on Genius whilst listening. And it has really gone from bad to really good lemme tell ya. I still don't believe she is that good of a melody-writer, but she certainly is an outstanding story-teller. Her singing for the most part is clean, very poppy but also mostly knows the amount of emotion that should be displayed in what parts of the story. There was one part where she does an agility, and I thought it was the most out of place line to do it in the entire song. Generally, there are a lot of empty spaces on the album that doesn't fully work to its advantage the same way that, say, a Glow Pt.2 does, but I understand why it's done. Lowlight by far is American Teenager, a song I dislike now as much as when I heard it June 22. It just sound like a Taylor Swift song, but with a bit reverb and a more competent singer. I didn't like Gibson Girl either because of its reminiscent of soulless club music, but I do enjoy it more than that kind as its sound aesthetic illustrates that part of the story very very well (still as a song, don't like it). The album peaks both with Hard Times, an incredibly pristine written song that I can relate to, Ptolemaea which is one of the greatest most terrifying songs of the decade, alongside the two instrumentals not only because it's where Cain's atmospheric blossoms is fulfilled the most, but also cause the listener gets to dwell on the hellish thing they've just encountered (in a good way since it's a good record).
When you realize that an escape that you thought was safe, actually turns out just as horrible as your past, whilst simultaneously becoming your fate, and there is nothing you can do because you are already nothing, that's when the album hits close to home. [First added to this chart: 01/18/2025]
I dig the vibe and effect the guitar has (a mixture of 90s Dream Pop and 80s Indie Pop). Not everything strikes as frankly emotional, but the brief track lengths does not stop it from being forgivable in some cases. It also helps that there is 18 cuts, giving you better opportunities to choose which melodically and thematically hits the most. I would lie if I said I don't enjoy this more than a lot of 2022 albums that has had more effort in em. [First added to this chart: 11/14/2022]
On Fever Dream's best cuts, Cannons pretty much hits bulleye in the 80s revival synth pop that sooo many pop stars have failed. Maybe it's because they have some dope ingredients of dream pop in it too. [First added to this chart: 11/14/2022]
Tender music that sounds both DIY-esque and then sometimes gets overpowered by worthless guitar power pop that just doesn't fit and especially is unlikable if you're me. It's kind of like the Brimheim record, though with more highlights and a clearer artistic vision. And still, I accept and respect the effort cause it's not a bad album of course. [First added to this chart: 11/14/2022]
This is like a crystal ball showing the future of you if you choose to follow Christ through a thick misty semi-psychedelic decade of blissfulness. [First added to this chart: 11/14/2022]
I just realized that when the album was halfway, every song has been listenable and it might be some of the most accessibly likable country music I have heard inna while.
Right before pressing play, I thought he looked familiar. Then I went to see his full face on the bio at the bottom of Spotify and I instantly recognized him from the YouTube channel Good Mythical Morning. One quick google-search confirmed my thoughts. Even though I haven't seen more than like 5-10 videos of them, every video I have loved (it's mostly been the "We tried every ___ in the world" ones, starting with Ben & Jerry's). Then when I listened I was 'okay James, you are both charismatic in front of the camera and charismatic as a songwriter'. With the exception of the directionless Kill A Man that never breaks free from its starting point, Human Overboard kept being that way. One song that lyrically stood out to me was In Vain, a song about Christians criticizing atheists for taking the Lord Jesus Christ's name in vain, when they do themselves alot. Musically speaking, the record has a pretty floaty (get it, from the cover) instrumentation though more smooth sentimental country floaty rather than dream pop floaty. James is not a great singer but like most singers on my list, he is not trying to be so as he has other ambitions that fits his musicality better. For example, setting a vibe which was a success.
The inward Where We're Going with female vocals came very close to being a masterclass in composing a modernized country ballad. Nonetheless, no song here is a "masterpiece" or blew me away, and it stayed in that good-great lane. [First added to this chart: 11/14/2022]
That playing on some of the first cuts.... whooo! [First added to this chart: 11/14/2022]
Better than any Lamar album [First added to this chart: 01/19/2025]
Even though it's clearly done with the help of a lotta electronics, this sour smooth candy floss landscape of Healing Potpourri's album Paradise is so sugar sweet it's kind of nostalgic. If you immerse yourself in it, there's a chance at least the highpoints will take you to some mental and musical euphoria. [First added to this chart: 11/14/2022]
Okay I don't think (no I know I haven't) I've gotten a rap album (other than Melt My Eyez) this year that have made me bump my head as much as Marlowe 3. This record got smooth boom bap instrumentals but upgraded it to modern age, and Solemn has such a nice rhythm, bouncing between an old school A$AP Rocky and a fast-rapping Earl Sweatshirt. Many highlights on this thing, but the best has to be Past Life, such a wholesome hip hop number I cannot even keep a straight face. [First added to this chart: 11/14/2022]
