I know these are comparisons that will come back to haunt me in a taunting "Shut up you don't know nothing about nothing" kind of way. Which is something I have gotten used to this week on account of my brother stopping by and my un-ability to win at anything.
That being said...
It's alright. on my first listen through I thought if Horseback sucked and tried way too hard with some lo fi black metal in there as well. Then I realized i like it a lot more than that, there are just some stupid bits where a guy is talking and "Part 1" absolutely ruined any chance of that being carried out successfully, for me, in the future... butt future... forever....
so its two kids (like, they might be 20ish now?) from oregon. beyond that it's kind of hard to describe. pretty much every kind of vocals ever used in any genre ever, mixed with a lot of drum machines and death metal and pop and white boy rap and bleeding through-esque wanky 2step breakdowns and coral symphonic arrangements and vocoders and R&B and cello noodling.
this is pretty much the logical evolution of the internet in musical form. the lyrics range from peter pan, to being vegeta, to playing gears of war, to trying to find fast food and shooting strangers instead.
whatever my review has made you think about what this may sound like, it sounds completely different. listen to at least some of it. the songwriting is actually really decent, and the fucker can play guitar like...i dont know. like someone whos really good at guitar. theyre really good at programming drums and singing/grunting/rapping/screeching and its generally fucking hilarious. not listening to this is a huge mistake.
