The Gay Nineties
\nLiberal Guilt
\n<\/i>(Fontana North)
\n2\/5<\/p>\n

The worst thing an album can do for its audience is not offer anything artistically different or honest. Liberal Guilt<\/i> sounds tired before it even starts; I found myself wanting it to end by the first song.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sick of the same \u201cindie-pop\u201d band hitting the scene with a bland record because it\u2019s profitable. Liberal Guilt<\/i> is not a record that aims to be different or raw; instead, it shoots for a washed-out, modern sound that kids wearing flower crowns and Imagine Dragons patches will praise.<\/p>\n

This album\u2019s not all bad; the production is very good and the drumming is phenomenal. Liberal Guilt<\/i> holds some pretty strong ideas sometimes, but it doesn\u2019t explore them very deeply.<\/p>\n

No new ideas come through on this album; it sounds artificial and forced. This is possibly what The Gay Nineties were going for because of how popular this particular sound is right now.<\/p>\n

Again, I\u2019m tired of all of these different bands cutting the same album. Try this disc out if you prefer your music safe; otherwise, skip it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
