Me saying that the second Bleachers album is the best music Jack has ever created is less of a hot take than this post... and I bet me feeling that way is considered quite a hot take to people here. Album is so so so good! Can’t wait to see them next month.
Their debut album is much more well rounded but Gone Now is just really uneven. The good songs on GN are the bands best, but there's a solid 1/3rd of this album thats filler.
How much did they offer to pay you to give that opinion? Because no matter how much I would advise that you don't take the money. Sorry, I'll leave. I really like the album though and it definitely clicked seeing it live. Excited to see them at Riot Fest. Fun. was fantastic when I saw them too, despite being in a really shitty small bar venue in Minneapolis.
