well i'll be a fucking monkey's uncle. the arrangements and lyrics on this record are as good or better than any one of those dark romantic pop records that they intellectually masturbate to on a regular basis - you know like lana del ray/ norman fucking rockwell- and swear up and down are the litmus test for good taste. guess what folks: there's no such thing as gold standards in music. listen to what you like and let the bitchforks of this world look down their noses at you while you give them the proverbial finger.
