The Zombie
Aina The End
2021
It's fine. It's interesting enough musically but I think it does a lot of different and varying things musically and starts chasing its tail at some points. It's very eclectic which is fun but not helpful in creating a cohesive and memorable album, in my opinion. Also too long.
Really solid vocals that carry this whole thing. For being an hour long this didn't outstay it's welcome the way many records do. A lot of music I like is cinematic in feeling but this feels more like a TV show soundtrack. There's energy and it has a lot of variety in its structure There's even a very end credits feeling track second to last. Really enjoyed.
From what I've heard of the genre this is almost the platonic ideal of a j-pop album. I enjoyed its sickly sweet sound, which reminded me a bit of bands like the Cardigans, but I'm sure it's not for everyone
