GARAGEB& by Jesse Album Review

Jesse is Jesse Rutherford, who is the singer in the band The Neighbourhood. They sang Sweater Weather. I like that band for the most part. I'll probably do their albums eventually. Anyways, this is actually his second solo album. I haven't listened to the first. I didn't know what I was getting into with this album, but I was hopeful because I do like The Neighbourhood. So let's get into it.

Tunnelovision: The chorus is really good but not the verse. He is like rapping. I don’t like it. Otherwise it’s a good song.

Girls & Boys: This song is fun. The lyrics aren’t very complicated or smart but the verses are pretty solid and it’s a catchy song.

R.I.P. OFF: I’m not feeling this song. I don’t like when he raps. He has a good voice when he sings, but not when he is just talking. It just sounds awkward. It’s barely rap.

Puppy Love: I’m confused about this song. I like the verses a lot. And the chorus sounds good but I hate the lyrics.

Junkie: This song had really good lyrics. It told a good story about a girl who dates a drug dealer and is now a junkie. It even made me kind of sad. I didn’t like how it sounded, though, so it’s not my favorite.

Hollywood Friends: I think he might be delusional. He keeps singing about how famous he is but he’s really not that famous. He’s just the Sweater Weather guy. I want him to chill. He’s a lot better at making alternative/rock music than whatever this is. Alternative/R&B? Not for him.

The N Word: It’s just the word “no”.

USAliens: This song is fine. Nothing special about it. It’s better than the others because it isn’t a bad song.

My Ways: Oh god another rap song. At least all these songs are short. This song is so bad. How did this guy make the album Wiped Out? That album is so good. This album is so shinny. He’s using some bad autotune in this, too. He sounds like Spongebob.

Bi: Okay, this song was good. Not good enough to add to my playlist because it’s not special at all.

Story of My Life: Oh my god these lyrics are so dumb. Is he seven? Fourteen maybe? I’m being generous. “They say diamonds are a girl's best friend, but I’m a boy last time I checked.” Shut up. This is making me dislike him. The Neighbourhood isn’t even a bad band. He just sucks by himself I guess.

Rock & Roll DJ: Last song, thank God. This album didn’t make any sense. I don’t know what he was trying to do or who he was trying to be. The production was lame, the lyrics were worse. Some songs (like this one) sound like they would be in the credits of some terrible 2000s comedy movie. Like the protagonists just went to the best party ever and ended up with the girls of their dreams even though they are way out of their league and everything is great. This album sucked, thank God it was only 26 minutes long.

Story of My Life

So I ended up disliking it if you couldn't tell. It ended up scoring a 3.42/10. I will never listen to it again and it makes me angry even thinking about it. If you do like this music that's good for you glad it makes you happy but it makes me upset.
