live!!! me reviewing this horrible new conor record while i stream it. so not really live, but kind of. I mean, you get to see my thought’s while listening.
i’m on song 6 or something already. but this album has like a million songs. a recap of what i’ve heard so far
slowly (oh so slowly)
skipped it, i’ve already heard it, or at least the first minute of it, and i hated too much, i have too much dignity to put myself through that hell hole of a song again.
to all the lights in the windows
ehh i kinda liked it. it was mediocore. after the mere thought of “slowly” this was a gem
big black
nic song. i like mr. frietas. this song got old real fast.
air mattress
WTF?!?!?!?! LOLOLOLOL!!!! worst song ever. couldn’t even listen to it the whole way. even worse that slowly. like seriously wtf? i think it’s taylor hollingsworth singing on it. he really shouldn’t get to ever sing or write a song again, it’s a crime against hearing.
cabbage town
I can’t even remember this song and it’s literally the last song i heard. i think that pretty much says it all. i remember not liking it though.
okay now I’m actually listening and writing.
ten women
I kind of have a fondness for this song, although the lyrics are on the caliber of a 15 year old eem girl. But I kind of like it, it’s pretty. Although I’m already getting tired of it.
the difference is time
began pretty. oop now is shitty weird country. wtf conor. ehh now i don’t like this at all. it tricked me. I thought I was going to like it. I mean it’s not the worst. I just hate the vocals. I honestly don’t know who is singing. Sometimes this song is okay. but the voice reminds me of randy newman, which for me isn’t good. and lyrically it’s not on par at all. hmm although i do like one lyric, “I want to be done with everyone I know.” i hate the chorus. “it’s yours and especially mine” eww the bridge is horrible. wtf? who is singing. this is horrible. i hate the voice. I even think it was someone else singing it’d be better. I hate “woahs”. i’m moving on. eww
nikorette
god. these lyrics are horrible. “I’m just trying to be a human being. sitting in the sun eating icecream”. This is horrible. I even hated live. god, this is terrible. The chorus sucks. and lyrics!!! WTF! really? best lyricist of our time? this is your song? I have to move on. this is terrible. god and music is terrible, it’s cheesy sounding and just shitty. I’m sorry Im not better at describing it. Nick is singing, and that’s actually pleasent.. hahahaha literally just cracked up because of hilarious cheesy guitar part after horrible lyrics “Sitting on a plane chewing nikorette”. And now a cheesy piano part. this song is absolutely horrible, the only thing remotely decent is nic frietas. And I hate conor’s voice in this too. all around a horrible experience. thank god it just ended.
White Shoes
I’m worried conor is going to ruin this really pretty song with over producing. I already know that this will be the best on the album. But ofcourse, his vocals are distroted. It’s still pretty though. I just feel, as usual, it’d be better with out the distortion. although “you can paint your nails lime green” is kind of a dumb lyric. but all around it’s still pretty. i love “you can have my bad side too, anything you want to do”. that’s the conor I love. although vocal distortion is getting annoying. why can’t he let a pretty song be a pretty song and leave it alone? hahaha he said “flower in your hair”. I used to have a joke about that with my friend josh. that’d conor would have a song called “flower in your hair” about me because i always would wear like the same white flower in my hair when I would see him. that’s funny. overall, love this song.
bloodline
already horrible, and actually making me laugh. and it’s a nic song, I love nic, but not this song. it’s so cheesy and silly- not in a good way. okay i had to take a break from the song to deal with the fact that my poor little car is falling apart. anyway, this song still sucks. the break didn’t help. “yes it feels scary to be oridinary” HAHA how dumb. “looking for a doctor with a cure for a broke heart” really nic? i didn’t expect such a shitty song from you.
spoiled
dumb intro. wtf is with the drums in the intro. god it sounds like “margaritaville” literally. “watching all the hippies through the haze”? and the music is terrible. just terrible. this might be the worst song. and it’s like every other song. I hate the cheezy song. I feel like the point of the this song is good, ohh good the bridge. LOL! literally it’s horrible. and there are laugh tracks in it. I like that it says “you get everything you want and you still feel down”, maybe just because i like conor talking about being sad or something. but that song was horrible. it might be the worst.
worldwide
horrible cheesy guitar intro. sounds like “stray dog freedom”. At first I thought the voice was okay, but alas I was horribly wrong. I’m guessing this is taylor hollingsworth. sounds like a tom petty wannabe. the song itself isn’t actually horrible though. horrible bridge. But I don’t mind the chorus, I’m surprised to be honest. It wouldn’t be half bad if it weren’t for the cheesy guitar.
roosevelt room
heard this song last year live and loved it. but it’s pretty ruined by the cheesy intro. wtf? conor sucks at intros. I liked this song. this version is definitely a lot worse. lyrically it’s good. I don’t mind it. But then again, I already knew that. It’s nice to hear conor scream again. I’m not big on the heavy keyboards. I love the lyric “I’d like to write my congressmen but I can’t afford the stamp”. This is probably my second favorite on this record so far. It’s the conor I fell in love with as an angry little teen. I’ve always loved the lyric “Cause the working poor you’ve been pissing on are doing double shifts tonight”. cheesy keyboard solo ending though. oh it’s not over. that’s kind of cheesy. a fake ending. still like this song.
eagle on a pole
wtf? it’s on this album too. horrible intro. literally scared. OMG it’s a horrible new version! and it sounds like a shitty tom petty song. I don’t mean to offend tom petty, because he has some good songs for sure, but they are certainly ripping him off on this one. and it’s not a new version of the first “eagle on a pole”, it’s a brand new “eagle on a pole” that’s absolutely horrible. I don’t know who is singing. jason? I can’t really tell. I know they had this contest of who could write the best song that begins with “i saw on eagle on a pole”. conor won that round for sure. this is terrible. god. this is horrible. “don’t you ever trust an eagle on a pole” wtf?
I Got the Reason
I love love love the live versions of this song I have. hopefully it’s not overproduced. so far it’s okay, except for stupid organ in the backround. just leave the song alone! it was really pretty. adding organ doesn’t make it better! you’re just blowing an already perfectly good song. Now the keyboard part is over and it’s pretty again. AHH!!! it turned all big and ugly. there was like a horrible breakdown and then all of the instruments. how stupid! this literally pisses me off. And the organ is killing me. I literally loved this song. and now it’s just cheesy and like an alt-country jam. I can’t even keep listening to this.
snake hill
I can’t tell the others voices apart. Like I don’t know who is who. But whoever is singing this sounds terrible. this song could be pretty if it weren’t for the voice. and the organ again. I don’t mind this song. It’s kind of pretty. But I just can’t do the voice. I think it’s taylor’s again. Now the song got stupid ofcourse. eww the dumb guitar and drum part when he sings “it was only self defense” is just terrible. not a bad ending though to this album.
so this was just kind of for fun. I mean a conor album comes out only once a year or so. I’ll post a proper review with a few songs for you to hear later. I need to relisten and collect my thoughts. please disregaurd the poor grammar of this! like I said, I wrote it as I was listening.
I have a kidney infection : (
Because I am sad, with a high fever, and a soar kidney I wanted to make a post that would make me happy. As bro as it may be, we love the lonely island. and I though “Normal Guy” was the funniest song/bit on their album “incredibad” .

Here’s a link to Normal Guy interlude. enjoy!
