I listened to this album a while ago, but I wanted to wait until I got my CD to write about it. I wanted the decorations for my journal, which is where I pull these reviews from. When I first listened and heard actor, I knew I was going to love the rest of the album. It’s a 5/5 for me. My rule of thumb for an album is to listen 3 times while doing nothing or while reading the lyrics. Then I’ll watch any music videos. I like to listen 3 on different days because I feel like you hear something different each time. I felt something I’ve never felt before when listening to an album and that was feeling seen. Even though I’ve never been in love or heartbroken, I understood how Conan felt. It was weird. I never analyzed my feelings as much as I did with this album. It even made me consider therapy. I thought to myself, “maybe it’s bad that I relate to this” because his music is really depressing. I don’t feel depressed when I listen to sad songs though. A lot of people say that sad songs make them sad or feel worse, but I actually love sad songs and they’re some of my favorite songs and albums. I just feel more connected to sad things. I like the way they sound and how an artist allows themselves to be so vulnerable for that many people to see and hear.
It's not my kind of music and I didn't know him before; but I understand how you say it makes you sad, that's happens to me with Joji, even though I haven't gone through the experience he describes in his songs.
