why the hell do people like discovery so much ??

I listened to it a couple times recently and it was just really... meh. it had some cool tracks (ie. aerodynamic, crescendolls, short circuit) but idk it just felt really boring to me.

I guess I was just expecting something more experimental and futuristic, something that aligned with the dystopian masks and performances/music videos I saw them doing. maybe something along the lines of a sophie record, really dark and experimental that is still fun to dance to.

but, this album kinda crushed that expectation, with some rock, nu-disco, house, electronic mish mash, that for some reason just did NOT hit for me on most of the tracks.

and the entire album felt really weak, like i was confused as to how it was played at clubs and stuff. the drums were all very acoustic and disco-esc, not electronic and hard hitting. the vocals were also really weak on the whole album, especially that last track (I despise that track.)

oh yeah and the mixing/mastering on the album was pretty atrocious. was listening to it on some pretty dark headphones (when it comes to upper high end), and for some reason the high end still felt like it was overpowering. those same headphones, also have some quite loud high mids, but the album still felt very lacking there, despite alot of the main instrumentation being there.

idk, something abt this album didn't hit for me. and I don't really get how hit fro so many people back when it was released, and even now, it's still played at clubs and parties from what I've seen.
