My neighbor is a musician and asked me if I would listen to his album hes been working on. He played me the first track last summer and I really had to lie to him about it being good because it's a really stupid song and he totally thinks it's awesome. The song is called "the shit show" and it's supposed to be like a reflection of the times. It sucks and the album only gets worse from there. There's one joint that he described as "similar to ok computer by radiohead" which has this like robot voice that keeps coming back in with instructions for returning to like and "organic form" of life, but at the end theres a sneaky little "sent from my iphone" line. Totally a "I'm in my 50s and I don't like technology" jam. There's a balled that I'm pretty sure is for his wife. I don't even want to finish the rest. If I could show you guys the fucking cover of this thing...
What the hell do I tell this guy? His album sucks, but at least he made something. He's a good musician and wrote, played, and recorded everything himself. He's far more skilled than I'll ever be and I can tell he's put a bunch of effort into these songs, but I don't like them and I don't ever want to hear them again.
