Bilmuri - KINDA HARD (April 10, 2026) Album • Page 3

I'mhungry for it

 

Time traveled to listen to this. Amazing album. I was a bit worried from the middling reactions from some people (mostly redditors so I probably should have taken their opinions with a grain of salt). I think it’s missing the novelty of AMS but I just love this sound he’s captured and he does it really well. KINDA HARD is an insane opening track and goes… kinda hard. I will say, I appreciate that this album doesn’t have as many singing features as AMS had. That was always my main gripe with that album and I’m a big fan of it being mostly all John. Can’t wait to see these songs live next month!

 

How much Gabi is on this??

 

I’ve only listened to it once, but from what I remember just two songs. She might have smaller parts here and there, but I only remember two sax solos.

 

Got my vinyl early and man what a letdown this variant is. Album is a ripper though!

 

Yeah this is a blast. I just love his melodies.

 

Rock Bottom is just what the dr ordered

 

this cranks

(needs more sax)

 

Back, Then might be the one

 

HARD2TELL is my current favorite. STARFISH SPREADER speaks to me for… reasons. ALWAYS LET YOU DOWN is the best ADTR song since Common Courtesy.

Love this album so much!

 

Woah this intro does in fact go hard

 

Want to spend more time with this obviously but after one listen, I may like it more than AMS actually. I feel like there is a bit more going on with this one and the inclusion of the heavier tracks (and intro/interlude) provided for better pacing imo. Time will tell though

 

Lol this intro kind of feels like he's parodying Knocked Loose.

EDIT: Where to Find Me with the random technical guitar solo out of nowhere like Spinnin' You Around on the last album

EDIT 2: Yeah Back, Then is him at his best.

 

Sexy sax in HONEST

 

Man I think this is his best work. it's weird to see the generally negative reaction it's getting on reddit. I think rock circles just don't like anything country sounding

 

His last album had way more of a country flavor than this, and that was a hit for him

 

The vocals on this album are way more country than AMS. But yeah this album will be a hit for sure.

 

its soo good!!!!!

 

I love it. The early reviews on Reddit were from people who spun it once and were unhappy it wasn’t their version of perfection. My only gripe was I wanted more Gabi. I could be wrong but I think she’s actually on three tracks just supplying backing vocals on Waves. I’ll be spinning this all summer long.

 

opener just wants to blow my speakers... and I'm ok with that.

 

I love Bilmuri. Admittedly was expecting a bit more impact form this though. Huge lacking of Gabi, not sure what that’s all about

 

The transition from KINDA HARD into TWICE was so good, I involuntarily giggled.

 

I find when I listen to a whole album by this guy I start to notice how structurally, sonically and thematically a lot of the songs are very similar, not to mention generally being around the same tempo. there's a lot of genres in the mix but almost no variety in the songwriting.

 

Gabi isn't "officially" in the band, right? I think it's just the right amount for a feature

 

Which makes sense considering it’s just Johnny. Maybe a couple cowriters would help with next album?
