![]() Next up is Small World, and it is quite incredible with what it does with its transitions which are satisfying and are not too offputting to really put a dent in the song. ![]() It could've been a lot better and maybe one of my favorite ballads if the mixing was tweaked a little further. It's Alright is a song that seems to weave the album back into a lighter side with maybe a couple mixing problems with Jack's voice being too quiet at the beginning to be probably heard and the chromatic synths, which would've been a lot better if they were a little quieter, the interludes are pretty and it's not a bad song, it's good, just not as good as the others so far in mixing. The album continues its funk founded in Leopard, into John & Nancy, a song with so much character and melodies that can take you back to the 70s while still keeping the consistent style shown on the other songs.īeird is up next with an intensely vocal part, showcasing more of Jack's David Byrne side, and a chorus that'll stick and stay in your head with the synth parts create a perfect backing to tie this whole presentation together in a perfect knot of its charismatic presentation. The electric guitar bridge is very effective in changing to the many different styles and moods of this song. Then the next song, Leopard, is full of life and funk that makes it very satisfying to sing to, then it goes into a jazz part, highlighting Jack's vocal ability in a more traditional setting. He also tends to do vocal mixing which creates great harmonies and pretty chords. The album takes a turn to the calmer side with Coconut Ranger, a slow, but beautiful ballad, with an incredibly simple bridge that goes into a more punchy, but still slow, melody, and it seems to loop in and out of these two ideas while still being part of one big central one. This song has bright synths that pierce through the fabric of this particular song and create something interesting while Jack continues to sing in his eccentric manner. The song ends and gets into another amazing fast tempo song, my favorite song on the album, Dead Weight. The song is catchy and Jack's David Byrne-like vocals introduce themselves right off the bat, I could explain it and it'd sound strange, or you could just listen to it yourself and understand. The album starts strong with Cunk, a song that has weird and unorganized synths that order themselves rather quickly, similar to an orchestra in how the conductor allows for his players to practice whatever they desire, then getting everyone on the same page for a concert F. Jack was meticulous in the design and of the execution of each song, showing everything that needs to be shown while keeping it intriguing and catchy enough for further listens. ![]() Jack Stauber utilizes multiple layers of synths without creating too much clutter everything has its place and nothing seems to stick out in ways not intended. ![]() This album shows Jack's talent on full display, unlike what was shown in Viator, Finite Form, or even PopFood (Even though that album is incredible as well). Even with these flaws, everything else is executed with such precision that is expected with a Jack Stauber record, and with the style long associated Review Summary: This album is incredible with a few minor flaws on 'It's Alright', and 'Pad Thai' being a bit of a dud.
