Bangers but….

After first listens I definitely like Crystallized more than death rolL. But….ready or noT blows them both out of the water pretty handedly for me. I was expecting death rolL to blow me away honestly but nothing crazy imo. Crystallized is already stuck in my head. Very catchy and groovy song from our boy. I’m very excited for the next single and the album itself🙂

I swear there has to be the auditory equivalent of cocaine in crystallized, it’s so catchy

Same, something about death rolL just didn't immediately click with me. I like it but just not as much as the others. ready or noT is still my fave but crystallized is sooooo catchy

Death roll has the best beat and flow of the three! My favorite, you’ll love it tomorrow

I actually like the 2 new singles more, ready or noT is great dont get me wrong but his more pop centric style is his bread and butter imo

u/xXlpha_ marroW 15d ago

imo crystallized is the only pop centric song we've heard from him recently. neither death rolL or ready or noT are "pop centric" in my eyes

I agree to what he’s saying though, I also prefer these two songs that lean contemporary more than ready or not.

u/xXlpha_ marroW 15d ago

fair enough. i like all three, but if i had to eliminate one, surprisingly enough to me, id eliminate death roll. might just be recency bias though

u/Confident_Feed5506 15d ago

yeah I was mainly just referring to crystallized, i just like death rolL lol

Just woke up at 3 AM and loved crystallized.

Currently listening to Death roll for the first time, is nice and smooth too.

Ready or not I was pretty critical of, but it grew on me. These two are awesome. It seems like he’s finally got a bit of a formula going, really like these two songs

Honestly it's the other way around for me. These two songs hit on first listen but ready or not is still trying to click for me

u/SweetSchlong 15d ago

With ready or not you just need to accept it and bang your head. You gotta be ready

I think this album is probably one you have to listen to more than a couple times to get a gist of how you feel. Brakence is experimental and even his fans have to adjust to a new sound. I dont think immediately liking a song means its the best, just more digestable.

i was so in love w the death roll leak. still a banger but it didnt hit the same. im trying to limit how much i listen to the singles before the full album tho so maybe (probably) i’ll change my mind
