Ugh

Album Rating: 4.5

La Dispute doesn’t have any cringe albums. But some cringe lyrics on first album for sure. Still overall a great album

"I see the word "cringe" often when this album is discussed, but never any reasons as to what makes it so cringey."



it's entirely the lyrics, particularly the overuse of "darling" in a particularly whiny tone. Like, the entire album is about a bad breakup, and he's practically coming up with a mythology to describe how sad his breakup is.



then cut to Wildlife and he's writing these gut-punches about guilt and suicide and watching a city decay and wrestling with faith in the midst of tragedy

If anything it's the vocals. Dude always sounds like he's on the verge of tears.
That isn't me trying to be edgy, it's legit what most turns me off these guys

the Safer In The Forest Intro >>>

Album Rating: 4.5

I dont get it, second half of that song is far superior

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

i meant the riff intro specifically but i stand by it

regardless, as a whole it's a top 15 La Dispute song at lowest

Album Rating: 4.5

i actually agree, first half is my favorite out of the two

Album Rating: 4.7

from "a Letter" onward this album just becomes an entirely different beast

Album Rating: 4.5

Safer in the Forest has grown to be my favorite song here, overtaking King Park and Edward Benz. Shit, I might even say it’s my favorite LD song period.

Album Rating: 4.0

I dismissed this when it came out (tbf it's hard to follow their debut) but I've finally come around to it a whopping 9 years later! Harder Harmonies, Edit your Hometown and Kind Park are incredible!

The one two punch of Edward Benz-King Park is so fucking powerful.

Album Rating: 5.0 | Sound Off

yeah if this album were formatted any other way, i'd expect a calm after King Park but nah, Edward fucking Benz cuz clearly we should be emotionally steeled by then

Album Rating: 4.5

Just bought the Ed Benz shirt on their shop, song is that good.
