Folie a Deux leakyleak review
So far I like maybe 5 songs off FAD. Every song has at least 1 line that makes me roll my eyes and think these guys really should have taken a little more time to work on the album. I mean, "I'm not a crybaby | I'm the crybaby"... Seriously? Ugh. Not very impressive lyrics, in my opinion. Everything just feels kind of strained, forced. And that's not even getting into some of the weird ass music. Sorry boys, I'm just not sure about this one. The whole thing just feels kind of...gimmicky. I don't know. :/

I'm sure it'll grow on me, and I'll catch myself singing along to songs that, right now, I can't stand (What a Catch, w.a.m.s). I almost always dislike band's new albums when I first listen to them. I don't think I'll ever consider this to be the best of their albums, though, which makes me kind of sad, given how proud they all seem of it.

Still, I'm a firm believer in artists making art for themselves, not the masses, so, yeah. :)

Likes: I Don't Care, America's Suitehearts, Headfirst Slide, 27, West Coast Smoker
Maybes: Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes, She's My Winona, The (Shipped) Gold Standard, (Coffee's For Closers)
No Likey: What a Catch (will probably grow on me), w.a.m.s, Tiffany Blews

For the record, I didn't like Headfirst Slide when it first came out, so that's a perfect example of how my reaction to new albums changes from "wtf, this is nowhere near as good as their old stuff, I hate it!!!1!" to "huh, this isn't that bad, actually" to "*sings along repeatedly*". :P
