3.5 greatBedex | June 30th 22

Again, pretty good, but I am yet to be w o w'd by these folks I think. I clearly prefer disc 2 here (6-11). 1-2 are fine but they just feel like they are neither dancy, not psychedelic, not riffy. They are a mix of all those that excels in none of them. 3 has some fun anthemic lyrics (ALL THE PLASTIC PEOPLE), and 4 is also fun and a bit better than 1-2 but barely, whilst 5 is a slower track whose vibe I quite liked. 6 on the other hand is quite fun and makes me want to drive a cabriolet cadillac in the 60s, whilst 7 is also fun with a sunny Mexico vibe a bit. 8 once more is kinda fun, 9 is an alright calmer track I guess. 10 is the most hyped, intense and fun track of them all, with very much final scene of the Disney channel movie where everyone suddenly dances in a prepared choreography -type vibes. 11 is a neat track to end on I suppose. See how it's fine but I am never going 'this is a BOP' ? Bonus tracks: Seven More Times is pretty meh, Pressure is kinda fun and could've well fit on the album, Sorrow is a cool instrumental with much more prominent bass that could use some vocals I think but that I hope prefaces a slight change of sound for the future. 3.5
