Please don't do this to music
Any music Just like...go to King dumb L**ks and steal it like a normal person Regardless of whether you like the songs or not, the sound quality does make a difference, youtube streams at like at 128 kbps, any rip that tells you it's making it 320k is just padding it out with data and prolly making it sound worse, if anything |

Also on the Facebook group pretty much everyone who says they don't like it also adds that they should be writing rock songs, for what it's worth
It's 1998 all over again |

Billy lacks finess and authenticity. The sound is not exciting (no Billy, changing guitars for a synth isn't enough, you have to actually make the synth sound good and play something interesting). You can't sell us on electro-pop/rock album having this weak of a song (no Billy, you won't get a surprise hit, the music industry doesn't work that way anymore, stop trying so hard). TFE failed because of the same problem, and this will fail as well. It's depressing. Like he can't accept the idea is bad and just constantly tries to reinvent it.
But sure, maybe the other tens and tens of songs from this project are REALLY SOLID and this is just a long con to weed out the haters. Maybe. |

I liked Adore as a teen, and when I'm in the mood for it... but it is objectively a bloated and maudlin album and Billy's venture into "avant-garde electronica" sounds incredibly dated in a way eg. Kid A / Amnesiac doesn't. This was the supposed "future of rock" in the late-90's, and other bands have explored it better and with less clunky results. Oddly, early-00's rock bands had a lot more success going back to basics, and Zwan was positioned to do well in this context, but Bill got in his own way again. I think the sounds Bill was reaching for with Knights of Malta, Widow, SFAS, and Cyr... he would've nailed those in the 90's/early 00's because he was surrounded by equally talented people invested in making it work. But when he's dictator of everything it falls apart. Even the Cyr aesthetic is him ripping off the work Yelena did with the band, right? |

This stuff is better than...American Gothic? Teargarden?
I think the one thing we can all agree on is that he can't write great songs at this point, no matter the style. Stuff like Silvery Sometimes and With Sympathy is the best it's going to get. |

I let these songs digest over the weekend before making any firm judgments.
I like them both a lot, despite not being particularly enthused with the direction in either of them. Both are a bit on the bland side. Both have too much Billy; he hogs the spotlight and doesn't let the music show itself as much as it could. But they are both strong melodically, especially Wrath. This isn't shaping up to be the SP album anyone wanted, but it's looking like it will still be an okay album. |
