New BMTH album. Thoughts guys?

After 2 listens. Don’t think it’s anything special. No real standouts for me. Think the previous releases of Lost and Kool-Aid will remain the best tracks however it’s possible it changes after I’ve listened to it more. Yours?

I’ve enjoyed it. There’s some good stuff on there. Its a bit too much at times but yeah, I think it’s very good. Maybe showing some influences a bit too much at times too.

Whilst I really enjoyed the new songs (plus all the existing singles), my first listen through really wasn’t as enjoyable as I’d hoped. I think it’s because of how long some of the singles have been out. I mean, the first was what, 2021? It felt slightly disjointed, going from a song I’d never heard before into a song I’ve played probably 100s of times. It felt like the album lacked a cohesive flow, even though the songs all vaguely fit the same theme. I do also wonder if the whole 4 EPs project has been abandoned and this explains the delay.

Whole point of the EP thing was for them to get stuff out quickly and it’s now been the longest time between major releases, and they’ve also lost a member in the process. Be kind of weird if they decide to resurrect that idea at this point - I think they’ll just get back to an album every three or so years.
