I think that is the goal of these productions. Crank it real fucking loud so it sounds great on shitty speakers in your car driving fast.

But given any intricate listening scenario, sounds like horseshit.

why would it sound great on shitty car speakers? because of ambient car noise filling in the gaps?

Humans gravitate towards loud things. its a fun experience in the car. It competes with songs on the radio.

Its very exciting to first hear these songs because they come at you so hard. we love that about PJ. I do, at least.

But then after a few listens, and some careful consideration, and listening on headphones, that is where my excitement starts to wind down a bit. Better equipment you can hear or not hear nuance.

i dont know. Just rapping here.

I mean, maybe. The nuance I started to hear didn't make me like the song less per se. It's not like it felt like the car experience was papering over something as much as the headphone experience was failing to capture something else.

But I also 100% did not have this experience with Dark Matter.

2nd single is a worry but then again their singles can often be the more underwhelming songs

I loved Gigaton too and hoped they would build on that songwriting but the dynamics here don’t sound well arranged or by a band locking into a groove. It sounds like a green day riff that way explained to the rest of the band and Ed giving his damndest to give it life.

I'd be extremely embarrassed if somebody else heard me listening to this.

This is Olé level bad.
