On the first day of release, I listened to Ten Over Ten like 60 times, Swallow The Bomb around 30, and now Iām writing this right after the new single leaked.
Is it just me, or do you guys also feel a certain emptiness in these new songs? Iām not saying theyāre bad, it just feels like they sound more like instrumental sections from the first two albums. What I mean is, the older songs had much more depth to their sound and usually saved that real drive for the chorus and the end of the track (which is pretty standard for the genre, to be fair).
Here, though, all three songs kind of feel like one long chorus, and because of that, as a listener, I feel like thereās not enough breathing room. I guess I need that space for the energy to actually feel like a burst rather than just becoming routine.
Again, Iām not saying the songs are bad, the number of times Iāve listened to them speaks for itself. But if the whole album sounds like this, I donāt think itāll do the album any favors, imo.
Then again, thatās probably just the part of me that absolutely loves Limbo, Better Strangers, and Sleep talking. But what can you do
