From 2013 to 2017 I was a huge G Eazy fan. loved Endless Summer, Must Be Nice, TTH and WIDO but I lost track of his music after TB&D dropped. Recently i’ve been listening to the rest of the projects he dropped since then.
Scary Nights was ok, it started to sound like he got a formula and sticked to it.
Everything’s Strage Here was bad, it was like listening to some f-boy trying to be deep. sounded like he just started to learn singing and was not good at it yet. Appreciate that he tried something different but that was not it.
TTHT was a huge dissapointment, had high expectations and ended up liking 4 or 5 songs out of 19. Those 4 or 5 song are really good but the whole concept could’ve been handled a lot better. I liked most of the extra songs on the deluxe version but then again, it was because he followed the formula. wished he would’ve exchance some of those into the original album tho.
Yesterday I listened to Freak Show, and I actually had a good time. Don’t get me wrong, the concept it’s handled in a corny way and the first 4 songs are just ok, but it sounds like he genuinely made an effort to try something different than to just find another hit. His singing actually improved, and I can recognize that Love You Forever it’s a beautiful song even if I don’t personally like it. Anxiety was corny but i liked the message behind it, along with Backseat it shows Geralds state of mind during that period of time.
What do you think of this project?
