![]() It’s impossible for me not to like a band where the dude can’t sing well so he compensates by just singing a lot. I do not work out.īack in the Peaky Blinders vein, where it’s like Black Keys but angrier and Britisher and – unlike Black Keys – actually fun to listen to. If I ever worked out, I’d probably listen to this. The chorus positively goes, and I appreciate the little diminished neoclassical flourishes. There’s a lot of production going on here, as expected from a generation who grew up with Linkin Park. This is a modern metal song of a variety I call sub-djent: just progressive enough to be kinda weird, but still very approachable. This song won me over, especially how the singer delivered the “here” and “fear” lines in the chorus.Īh, this is familiar. It’s fun for me when someone sings like this, with obvious formal voice training deployed to sound trashy. Here’s a very practiced version of the snotty punk voice. There are some cool ideas here, but I think the production gets in the way, especially with those compressed, distorted buildups. ![]() I bet he could destroy some Dwight Yoakam covers. But this time I really like how dorky the singer sounds. Still, I’ve got a lot of time for generic pub rock.Īnother “Take Me To Church” jam, pretending at soulfulness. It’s like if the Hold Steady had no perspective and just went through the motions. Generic pub rock that could have been made anywhere between ’83 and ’98. This song executes New Found Glory’s “we hate girls” sentiment better than they did, but it lacks all the charm and character of those players, so this feels less effective to me. I heard the line “I saw your new tik tok / Omigod, you’re so punk rock” and immediately needed a knee replacement. It’s like if pop punk music was genetically modified by the scientists at Jurassic Park. ![]() Still, I get the energy, and these songs are starting to grow on me. Kinda jerky guitars up front and everything is working fine, but then it goes to a very boxy place in the chorus that would work better if the band was the Pogues or Joan Jett. I don’t feel like there’s a song here so much as a ringtone that last 150 seconds. It’s got the same triplet vocal delivery through that same super-saturated vocal chain. Sort of a lesser rehash of “Elevate” by DJ Khalil, aka the song from the end of the Miles Morales Spider-Man movie. Regardless, this is not a healthy attitude to have about a romantic partner, but if you’re gonna shamelessly bite post-Blink 182 pop punk (Sum 41 especially), you could do worse. I’m too old to review this, even if it’s familiar to music I heard in high school. I feel like the band isn’t even trying anymore, especially compared to what their contemporaries like Meshuggah and Deftones are still doing. That’s a little novel, but not actually pleasant to hear. This is a formula-standard Korn jam, with the exception of maybe the harmonies Jonathan Davis delivers in the choruses. I just don’t get this band, and this song doesn’t change my mind. It’s next door to a failing bookstore and a Pret a Manger. That pub is drab and is named, like, The Hambly Arms. This band was designed by god to positively tear the roof off a pub. It starts with that “hey ho” Lumineers feel, and then moves into a sound I can’t put my finger on, but it’s like every song that ever played in the last 10 minutes of the TV show Lucifer. Here’s a couple sub-genres I don’t like glued together. This and so much other music is all downriver of “ Take Me To Church.” It’s some white boy who has studied the affectations of Baptist gospel music, probably at Berklee. I could tell from the first syllable that this was not for me. I don’t consider this guy an artist of any kind. Strictly in the music, that’s not great, and this song adds nothing to that framing. It’s obviously this is a faithful imitation of a certain goth-y glam performer who is also an alleged sex criminal. ![]() Personal disclosure: I’ve been a musician for a long time, and I’ve recently become a grumpy old crank. Here’s every song on the soundtrack, ranked. Maybe it’ll be Tony Hawk 2 good maybe not. NHL 23 has a soundtrack of a bunch of high-energy rock songs, and I like a good high-energy rock song. I like video games where it goes pew pew and middle schoolers in voice chat call me slurs. EA Sports’ NHL 23 came out a couple weeks ago.
