    I’ve been riding w Jean since bad sports. I remember hearing 90s green screen for the first time and having it open a door to a whole new world of music for me. After pixel bath came out; with songs like power freaks, shiner, and pyrotechnics, I was convinced that Jean was possibly the most fascinating characters in the music industry. Then he dropped the song MENTHOL* and he shot up to being one of my favorite artists of all time. My expectations for this album were sky high, and all of the singles before it were instantly added to my playlist and on repeat. Especially three heads and Sick of it. Some how, Jean found a way to surpass my expectations. HUH, 0-Heroes, and Glory are up there with his best tracks ever. This man reminds me everyday why I love music so much. I totally understand the 7, but for me this is a 9, Along with bad sports. Pixel bath being an 8. Keep growing and going nuts Jean, see you in Minneapolis on the 6th🤘🏼

  • @Giege
    @Giege Před rokem +6

    I like ur view on this album a lot Anthony, I agree with a lot of what was said but Idk why but I just really like the song pirate radio. I think it's due to his take on genre being not as generic as other takes on the genre that I've heard and it was kinda nice to hear him sing more melodically over a relaxing instrumental that somehow kinda tied the album together. It felt like a wholesome and oddly nostalgic ending for a brand new album. But I love the content Anthony, keep up the great stuff man. Much love ❤️

  • @passagenoir4818
    @passagenoir4818 Před rokem +5

    I fell in love with THREE HEADS* immediately after the intro as it's extremely reminiscent of 90's Polish rock on which I grew up despite being a 2000's kid, all thanks to my dad. The intro riff instantly brings back Perfect and most importantly Lady Pank which I to this day consider one of the best Polish rock acts to have ever existed. It's a bit of a shame that the track has such an underwhelming bridge

    I had heard bad fruit and glanced over some other songs, but I took mushrooms and when I say this was the PERFECT album to play, I mean it. Powerful, bright, interesting. I’ll forever love this album now
