Finally listened. Everybody Scream was meh. Heart Maid was a bit low on the energy but I like the album, even the prereleases work well in the album's context. Favourites: Tuberose, Blue, Bass(ad), Walking at 2am, Bath, A long long night. Almost all the songs on this album are going into my mood playlist.

and then they'll have pity fans who think you guys are just being mean for teenagers who 'don't write their songs' and who 'are controlled by their company' and 'haven't fully developed their brains'. this happened with adp and cortis (and why doesn't xg get the same flack?). i get that there's a certain level of outrage but it's best imo to starve these people of attention. laugh at them even. if they're seen as cringe and clowns i don't think they'll try it again (hopefully)
