DECIDE
Djo · Album

like everyone else, i discovered end of the beginning and really wanted to love this album but unfortunately it just didn’t hit for me :/ as a steve harrington lover and a music lover i really tried to make it work and even saw him live! and though i must say he def puts his all into his music and his art, i just think it’s a matter of time and experience. his music just isn’t that catchy to me and he doesn’t do much vocally. most of his songs are “talk-y” and though im sure that’s appreciated to some degree by music listeners, it just doesn’t do it for me. all love to djo and hope he improves and progresses over the years 🤍🎱

You can’t be a boy anymore after hearing this album. You have to become a man. This is when your frontal lobe first gets developed and your curiosity about life just spews

Currents is practically a perfect album but somehow this one is slightly better.

The way Kevin constantly evolves and still manages to surpass expectations with his albums is incredible. This guy is like an endless pit of creativity at the highest level. He does the drums, the vocals, the keys/synths, and the engineering. Arguably the most talented musician of the last 15 years.

Posthumous Forgiveness is one of those songs that hits incredibly hard since it’s dedicated to his late father. The second half of the song with the lyrics, the way he sings, and the aggressive drums is probably my favorite thing Kevin has ever done.

There’s something about this album that feels nostalgic but in the truest form of the word. The word stems from the Greek words, nostos (homecoming) and algia (pain). To me, this album sonically captures joyful times and has been the soundtrack for many sunny days. But songs like Posthumous Forgiveness reminds you of those moments that are fleeting away, in the midst of good times and success, you lose people you love that you can’t experience that time with. There’s a small gap of emptiness in the joy.

The album is filled with a lot of moments I really enjoy and it unfortunately dropped right as the pandemic blew up so it feels like it truly didn’t get to breathe and resonate like how Currents did, but what an all around performance again.
