#I was hoping for something more like A Grave Mistake or Tess-Timony and the closest I got to that was Farewell II Flesh

Alright it’s been a week, time to review SS2 (minus Opening Night because well..it’s just 42 seconds of talking)

Welcome to Horrorwood: definitely one of my favorites. I feel like it could have gotten a music video but now I think it’s passed the appropriate time for it. It’s just so good, and that intro is gorgeous. I’ll be listening to this one a lot.

A Rash Decision: This one has really grown on me. Obsessed with the way he says “prayer” and the whispered “this is a fever” and “the truth hits like a truck *honk honk*”. I really want to watch Cabin Fever now.

Assault & Batteries: This song is good, but I’m not crazy about it. It just doesn’t hit the mark for me. Probably my least favorite on the album.

The Shower Scene: After reading reviews for this song and hearing that it was mostly singing, I got really excited for it because I prefer the softer songs over the heavy ones. I was a little disappointed, not entirely sure why, it just wasn’t as good as I was expecting it to be. With that said, I still enjoy it and I think it’s going to grow on me. (Edit: yeah it’s grown on me a bit)

Funeral Derangements: I wasn’t the biggest fan of this song on the first listen, but it’s been growing on me more and more with each listen. And knowing it was Spencer doing the young child voice makes it really funny and that’s all I can think about when I hear this song.

Rainy Day: I’ve loved this song since it came out. I’m obsessed with the chorus. Some of the lines like “become a soldier for the controller” feel a little tacky sometimes, but I can look over it.

Hip to be Scared: I was obsessed with this song when it first came out, and that hasn’t changed much. It’s really good, and I loved seeing Jacoby in the song & video because it gives me hope of another INK/HU collab because I love seeing them still collaborate after the tour got cancelled.

Take Your Pick: I wasn’t expecting to like this song as much as I do because I’m usually not big on the heavy songs, but I actually enjoy this song quite a bit. I also wonder if that’s Dan’s s.o. Sarah doing the “you’ll be mine”, because it really really sounds like her, and that would just make this song even cooler if it’s her. And that part with Spencer singing…I could listen to an entire album of just that.

The Box: I really like the chorus of this one. I’ll admit the rest of the song is a little forgettable, just a little, but it’s still really good.

F. L. Y. : I wasn’t super into this song at first, but it’s making its way into my favorites list. It’s a more “general” song in that it could pass for being not about a movie, kinda like Freak Flag, which I honestly like.

Wurst Vacation: This isn’t my favorite song, but I’ve started enjoying it the more I’ve listened to it. I’ll probably like it more after I’ve watched Hostel.

Ex-Mørtis: This might be my favorite on the album. It’s just so fun and funky, I can listen to it on repeat for a while without getting bored. Plus the fact Charlie Scene is a co-writer just makes it even better.

Farewell II Flesh: I’ve gotta admit…I’m not as obsessed with this song as many people seem to be. I really don’t vibe with all the bee references. It’s still good, and I enjoy it, but I’d love it so much more without all the bee-related lyrics. However, I haven’t seen Candyman yet so maybe I’ll enjoy it more after watching the movie.

Overall, this entire album has grown on me since my first listen. Now I have more movies to watch…
