I actually really love Headphones haha, and I'm super glad it seems like they're gonna have diversity on this album. They could easily make a whole album of "Shut Up and Dance" clones and it would do great, but they seem to want to still try new things.
No yea exactly, I still think it's really really cool and I do prefer them bracing out and not having to stay in a comfortable place for them. I definitely don't dislike Headphones, they're 2/2 for released songs so far.
Headphones is an opposite thing of first single. Need to check whole album. Interesting how many experiments they made.
If Headphones had a better hook (I don't hate it though) then it would definitely be a top 5 WTM song tbh, it's such a jam and love that guitar solo near the end
Hoping they have a major bounce back with the next album. What If Nothing was kind of lost compared to TALKING IS HARD
I agree. What If Nothing sounded more like a band making an album for a record label looking for a big radio hit rather than the band that released their self titled album and Talking is Hard. This song sounds like a step in the right direction.
Talking is Hard, I would dare say, is one the best pop rock albums of the last 10 years. It’s so effortlessly fun They did some interesting things on WIN, namely the vocoder interlude and Tiger Teeth, but was off the mark elsewhere
