My beautiful 0 skips album

I’ve never seen Castlevania but I love when people put lestat and alucard together but that’s only cause my bf loves Castlevania and I love iwtv and so lestat and alucard are usss :3

Note: this is not a coherent music review it is just my first reaction to the songs

This is the FIRST time I’m hearing these songs so my opinion is subject to change

the outside
VOCALS TEAAA SHE SOUNDS SO FREAKING GOOD
the vocal distortion thing reminds me a lot of ‘I saw the tv glow’
this reminds me of the one photo of her and paul mescal and paul is looking at daisy edgar jones TwT

Lost Boys
this is actually the first time im listening to it fully
i really fw the chorus ofc reminds me of peter pan and i adore when media has references to peter pan and neverland
kyoto?? in the first verse
peak
omg i js remembered tmre i have a va exam (havent studied)

kill me
#ifeelyou
“he kissed me hello/he tastes like a flower with chemical petals”
AHHDBEURSFKJERFGBKERFKAYFKAFGKAEFKAEGFR OUTROBHEFSKFAEVFAWFK THIS OUTROO omg im actually a sucker for a little vocal contrast i think it also happens on Garden song
abrupt little stop nice nice nice

the governors waltz
shelley duval mentioned
“I know you’d never actually think about jumping
But do it for me” best song on the album 100% dont even
“im next to you, youre next to nothing” :0
OH GRACIE ABHRAMS DISS the bed!

Bobby
“And if you didn’t like either one of my friends
I’d kill them, I’d kill them” truth!
“I exist only if you'rе watching”
AH CONTRAST VOCALS AGAIN!!!! im being fed
for the mentally ill boys 4 meeee
Interesting outro This is my favourite so far XD

Lost Weekend
title track
damn only one verse??
“I’ve been known to throw a tantrum
When things are not the way I imagine thеm
I am restoring the natural order
Lеarning the same lesson over and over again”
oh this is so funky running and running and running

Haunted
this song ties back to I know the end “a haunted house a picket fence” “it is not this house that is haunted” thats pretty neattt
Panorama
oooh this is so smooth :D
oh the production is so good im gonna pop a boner
ghost ghost ghost ghost

still standing
“Pushed head first into the world” cant relate was a c section baby
oh… this one kinda hurt she hit a spot ☹️
“I wasn’t too young to understand
I just didn’t think it was so bad”

Liberty Tree
“Flying close to the sun with my sunglasses on”
nah i felt this one too
we’ve all had a Bobby im sure of it
“Don’t die, Bobby
Before I die
It feels so good to have you in my life”

Never going back!

Other Plans
this song is about Lestat and Claudia. actually a lot of these songs could be about LEstat and Claudia but hear me out he does think Claudia to be the world he loves her very much also “you were shaking like a final girl” “The day you were born
I was shaking like a leaf” idk guys
ok but this is actually really sad even if you remove the claudia/lestat from it all

Lost Parade

I cant Wait
“Baby, baby, if you leave me
Can you take me with you?”
literary allusion 😎 “Hyde, Jekyll, Hyde”

As Above
back to the future mentioned

Lost weekend (reprise)
“Now I can’t see any stars in the sky
When a dream comes true, a fantasy dies
But we’re gonna be alright, me and you
You love me, and I won’t еver let you forget, not yеt”

final thoughts:
that album was so beautiful, i may sleep now as i have a test tmrw thank you phoebe <3

In December I was on a road trip on one of the last days of the road trip I found out that Byler was most likely not going to become canon like I had hopped so I was ranting to my mum about this and I was yapping about all the lead up from s1 and how this was such a horrible move on the duffer brother’s part and in turn she told me about how there was a show in the 90s I think it was Xena: warrior princess and how she also really wanted the main characters to get together but they didn’t and I felt like that was such a moment like we are connected by this shared experience that has happened for generations and probably will continue to happen
