Verdict: Concept heavier than the song.
Skeptical from bar one: Shame sounds style over substance.
What does not work is clear: the middle sags, and the lyric risk never quite leaves the safe zone.
I land on 4.6/10. Concept heavier than the song.
agree on the vocal — headphones required or you’re missing half the song.
lowkey think you’re underselling the atmosphere. replayed it four times.
the comments saying ‘not dark enough’ are wild. it’s soft-dark. that’s the point.
