Ants From Up There by Black Country, New Road Review

I feel like this was getting good reviews. So maybe I’ll like it. Maybe not.

Intro: Kinda like the music in Forever Winter. That’s my thoughts. This is fine. Kinda gets on my nerves but only a little bit so it’s okay.

Chaos Space Marine: I’m becoming a worm now. I think that’s really silly. I hate worms though. Also Billie Eilish. This song is random. It’s cool though.

Concorde: I really like the sound. It makes me happy. Makes me feel like it’s summer, which is important. Because summer is pretty great.

Bread Song: He speaks in riddles I swear. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up with metaphors. I’m not really into this song. It’s a little too slow. It picks up eventually but by then I have already fallen asleep. I am sorry.

Good Will Hunting: This is tripping me up because this sounds like a real song. Another Billie Eilish line. Like why that’s so funny.

Haldern: The piano is so so so so pretty. And the guitar. Like this is a car song. But you’re in the backseat and not really sure where you’re being taken.

Mark’s Theme: This is an instrumental. It has Charlie Brown energy, and I’m super glad about that. I love me some jazz. Mark is cool for having this as his theme.

The Place Where He Inserted the Blade: These songs are ridiculously long, but the lyrics are so charming. This song is a little unhinged. Messy. All over the place, but it really works. He’s just pouring his guts out and then sometimes there's like a long instrumental.

Snow Globes: Very long but pretty instrumental at the beginning. I’m taking it for what it is. This song is kinda crazy. It’s nice. Very long, but I get it.

Basketball Shoes: Something that I’m having a hard time with is that this song is 12 minutes long. That’s a lot for me to deal with right now. I’ll try and move past this, though. This song kinda goes crazy though. Like I’m into it. Lots of switch ups. Keeps you on your toes.

I didn’t really think I would like this because the songs are all so weird and long, but they kinda killed it. I have to appreciate it. It gets a 7.25/10. bye
