Oh my god, did Mother Mother really just drop daycore and nightcore versions of *checks notes* 16 and 17 year old songs because they *flips throw notebook* got popular on tiktok 2 years ago and then the trends surrounding those songs died off as quickly as they sprung up?

I hate to say it since they're one of my favorite bands but they have really fallen off. They keep milking the popularity of Hayloft and their other songs that got big on tiktok. They're trying to appeal to the masses so hard instead of sticking to what made them popular in the first place, their charm and character as a quirky little indie band. This is so disappointing to see, they're currently in midst of making their 9th album but they keep clinging onto these couple songs, re-releasing them every few months to make sure people don't lose interest in them and it's sad to see that they've fallen off this hard

Inside felt so off and different from everything else they've put out and not in a good way. I was blinded by excitement for new MM content when it came out, it was the first album release I was around for as an active fan but it felt so watered down. Like they were trying to capture what their older records had while trying something completely different and it just kinda fell flat for me. I opened up spotify just before making this post to see the "new singles" and I let out an audible groan while saying, "Not this again...."

They have done eight. EIGHT remixes and acoustic versions and smash-ups for Hayloft, including Hayloft II itself. At this point it feels like they don't even care about their other records that aren't O My Heart or the songs that aren't their big hits. My favorite album by them, the one that got me into the rest of their music, their album that means the most to me, The Sticks, had its TEN YEAR anniversary LAST YEAR and they didn't do anything at all to acknowledge it. They did the special green translucent vinyl pressing for Eureka like a year or two before that! They just ignored The Sticks because they were busy pumping out more Hayloft garbage and they didn't want to take the spotlight off of it. I dont say any of this with hatred and malice, just frustration that they feel the need to beat this dead horse so goddamn hard. I'm over it
