Comments
Now, alot of songs on this list sound rushed, frantic, or even paranoid. But all of them sound safe, like deep down inside, they have something to fall back on.
This Album breaks that comfort zone.
Big Star genuinely sounds like they are on their last chance. They sound like if they don't make something good, they will never be good again In "Kizza Me", shaky vocals, stressed guitar, and panicked drums take reign in control of the song. It's such an interesting sound, and an old topic in the music world, but a new concept to handle it.
