Bartees Strange - Horror (February 14, 2025) • Page 3

I’ve had this on in the background all week. Too much, hit it quit it, sober, and 17 onward are all fantastic. The rest of the album has catchy hooks and surprising moments. Definitely my favorite album front to back. Will be in rotation for a while.

EDIT: I have to add Baltimore, lie 95, and wants needs. And I’m sure lovers and buttercup will fall in.

 

Gonna have to give this more focused listens, my initial takeaway is that I like there are a lot of songs I like but they feel pretty buried by the production choices

 

I agree some songs the production or compression blows out the headphones. Some spots it is welcome. I just love the tempo changes. He’s great at going along in a song and then a left hook tunes you back in. And then I ask myself, what did I just hear and have to play the song again.

 

Bummed at no Ohio date
