i was about to call this a review, but it’s not really a review, i’m just talking about the shit that i like. i’m not like, ‘objectively’ criticizing the album. general impression: HOLY FUCKING SHIT! also my favorite song is probably I’M GONE. to be determined, though, i’m only on my third replay (in a row).putting the rest under a cut for spoilers or whatever…IDGAFstrong album opener. i loved this song since it came out. all of it.Close my eyes and cross my fingers I don’t wake up / 'Cause I don’t really wanna die, but really don’t give a fuckI LIE TO MEi wasn’t much into this one when it first came out, but it grew on me.Just try to breathe, and get some fucking sleep / Think better things, till the black and white start to saturate ILY, HOW ARE YOU?i love how this song is about noticing someone else is having a bad time but waiting for them to talk about it first. like, not pressing the matter. and one of my favorite things is that the next song sounds like an answer to this one. You smile / But your eyes / They scream 'ignore me' IDC, I CAN’T TAKE ITi love this song. it’s such a live-song. like, it was written specifically to be played live. I don’t care what you say, I don’t care what you do / I don’t care what you think, I don’t care if it’s true / I don’t care if you leave, I don’t care if we’re through / It doesn’t matter to meI’D RATHER DIE not gonna lie i thought this was gonna be a heavy one. kinda surprised that it’s pretty chill (the music at least.) lyrics are dark as fuck, but same, boys. fucking same. It’s like I’d rather die than take my own advice / It doesn’t hurt to try - that’s a fucking lie I MISS 2003 fucking banger. i mean. the references alone. straight to my heart. also that riff… it’s sooo early 2000s. i can’t. i love everything about this song. Now life is boring, let’s write a story where we never grow up I’M SICK AND TIRED that breakdown… please. the clapping. the guitars are so dirty too, it really gives that early 2000s post-grunge vibe. the last chorus with a final riff kicking in, BITCH. My head is feeling like a cage again / Self-destructing into nothing I WANT TO SEE GODthis song sounds like a b-side from The Used’s self-titled album and i’m in fucking love with it. i feel 13 just listening to it. also, love how the line I’ve got some matches and a bad idea in my brain plays with the theme in In Threes. just. placement is everything.I don’t see the light / I don’t feel alive / I don’t think my thoughts and I should be alone tonightIN THREES everything about this song is perfect. and i know this is As It Is’ moment, but i gotta be honest with you guys: my favorite part about this song is Cody’s runs over the last chorus. that’s some Justin Timberlake shit and i love it so much, that boy is so talented.The fire inside of my head got out / I don’t give a fuck if the house burns downalso the end of Jordy’s verse, because i just won’t choose:When lying is all that I got 'cause it’s hard to survive when you’re living this life / And death is a bit of a bitch so I step to the side and I swallow my prideI HATE ME TOOthis song just made me sad. who’s being mean to the boys on the internet, i just wanna talk. no, but seriously, like, they’re barely even online, how are they getting hate? people suck. them harmonies on the bridge tho. on point.Just say that you’ll remember me / A distant little corner of your memory / And when you can spare the empathy / Just paint my portrait over with a better meI’M GONEthe vocal melody in this song is so nice…? like, both the verses and the chorus. the chorus is so satisfying to sing, you know what i mean? it’s touching a nostalgic fiber in my heart but i can’t tell what it reminds me of. best feeling ever btw. also: i don’t know who recorded drums for this but oh, my god! and if they’re programmed then… i’m sorry for the drummer that has to play this song live, it sounds like a workout. i love it.Am I dreaming in silence? / Or screaming and holding on / To a hope that’s gone?I DIE 1000xcatch me crying my eyes out through that second verse. if you think the first time was the hardest i cried then… you’re wrong.Just fucking tell me what I want to hear / That you don’t even really want me here / That I’ve been holding on / When all along all you’d be is better off without me herei really felt that.I CAN’T FEEL A THINGyou know that nostalgic fiber i was talking about? yeah, same thing here. only this one makes me think of Linkin Park kinda… Living Things era? maybe? idk but i love it so much. i really like the contrast between the sweet piano-thingy and Patty screaming. i don’t think i mentioned it (in this post) yet, but i adore Patty’s scream. it’s so good.Give me what I deserve / Give me hell, give me hurt / Give me all of your worstI WENT TO HELL AND BACKshort and to the point. yes, please. i feel like, lyrically it sums up everything the album talks about. and musically it’s a really round finish to an album that’s pretty heavy. i love the little bell-like sounds. and listen, i’m auto-tune’s number one hater but… i really like how the low-pitched lines play against with those bell-like sounds. also, it ends in a very re-playable way, it leaves you wanting more. that’s a good thing. i love that.i can’t choose a lyric from this song, the whole thing is just so good. -- source link
