Is it avant garde when the guitars and synth sounds are intricately produced, but the drumbeat sounds like a lo-fi bedroom demo? And you have hooks that are sang off-key and chopped up with like... the opposite of hooks, which kill the momentum of the song and the listener’s patience? Like... if you’re gonna launch yourself as a solo artist with an album of 3minute pop songs, surely the ideas is to create songs people can remember? Why is the production and songwriting constantly getting in it’s own way? I just... don’t get this album, and I’m sorry it hurt Bill so much, but everything that went wrong afterwards started here.
