i gotta be honest guys, the more i think about it, the more concerned i am about new Muse album. (warning: incoming music/Muse rant)
2022 is a shit year for sure but it's also the year when my top 4 favourite bands - Muse, White Lies, The Wombats, Editors - have released/are releasing new albums.
The Wombats' "Fix Yourself, Not the World", released in January, did not disappoint, as it's a really solid record (my faves: "If You Ever Leave, I'm Coming With You", "Method to the Madness", "Worry", "Wildfire").
White Lies' "As I Try Not to Fall Apart", released a month later, gotta be one of their best albums to date (my faves: "Am I Really Going to Die", "Step Outside", "I Don't Want to Go to Mars", "The End").
Editors are releasing their new record ("EBM") in September but i really love both of the singles that have been released so far (especially "Karma Climb", though i really enjoy "Heart Attack" as well). if the rest of the album is on par with these singles, i'll like it for sure.
and what about Muse, my very favourite band, my numero uno for past 13 years? i'm like one of the 5 people out here who loved "Compliance". "Won't stand down" is good, though not a song i listen to often (especially comparing to the singles released by the bands mentioned earlier). i'm literally ALLERGIC to "Will of the people", even though i enjoyed it at first. "Kill or be killed" sounds amazing, i admit, i won't be surprised if that's the best song on the record. but like.... idk, i wish i was more excited? i've literally just realized that we're getting new album in about a month while i was writing this post. i see songs titles like "We Are Fucking Fucked" or "You Make Me Feel Like It's Halloween" and i'm expecting cringe. don't get me wrong, i want this album to succeed (OBVIOUSLY), i want to like it and i'm aware that quite often Muse don't release their best songs as singles (uhm "Blockades", anyone ?? although we got "The Dark Side" at least). i just feel like, not only i'm expecting a lot from them (they're still my favourite band after all) but also, White Lies and The Wombats with their albums and Editors with their singles set the bar so high, i'm afraid i won't be able to enjoy new Muse content as much as i wish to. and that just makes me sad

i don’t care if they become the most popular band in the world, the wombats are severely underrated

Of course the new Wombats tune slaps hard. I made this after I went to one of their concerts this year and I wish for them to come back soon ;w;

["So I'm moving to New York, 'cause I've got problems with my sleep”]
I just interpreted this as moving because the time zones are different. according to genius the reasoning is more complex, but the problem is literal. so yeah, problems with one's sleep party :) (on theme cause I slept in today and missed like two things).
