Review
I really love this album. Going into this album, I honestly wasn't expecting it to vibing with me as much as it is. I expected it to be like The Queen Is Dead, which isn't a bad album, but I skip songs most of the time. This album however just grabbed me and took me away. I truly feel this album; everything that happens in this album is literally me.
I feel like the vibe of this album is what dysthymia feels like, at least to me. The dark humor, the sarcastic lyrics, the amazing melancholic instrumental just screams someone who is chronically mildly depressed (also known as me). I just really feel this one.
Rating:★★★★☆ (4.3/5)
