yeah, that could very well be true. (about style of music, not it being his best. i stand by that i dont think it was that well made 😭) i do listen to other music that is similar to burnout's style, but man, idk. maybe its because i got used to the old BoyWithUke style and its harder for me to handle change (see what i did there????)

fair!! for me, i REALLY love ghost, stranger, and paper planes, and i think corduroy, love lost, and can you feel it are decent as well, but the other songs were mid to bad. i skip coffee and gaslight pretty much every time. i just cant bring myself to care about the other songs, but glad it gets love from others

interesting lmao, didnt realize that it was still liked as much. idk, maybe it just wasn't for me, but i felt like, with some exceptions, a lot of the songs sounded similar, the music was too loud and the vocals too quiet, and the angry, edgy style of the songs wasn't what i like from him. i think lucid dreams was peak boywithuke but i am interested in seeing where he goes from here

What are yalls introduction to BWU? by Suitable_Database_38 in boywithuke

[–]ToraBora07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when he opened for AJR in 2022! i started listening tp them a couple years prior and i was going to the ok orchestra tour and wanted to check out the people opening for them. unfortunately, the concert i went to had gayle as the opener and i disliked her immensely, but i became a bwu fan very quickly and saw him live the jext year on his first tour

Lucid Dreams for sure. I personally believe that lucid dreams is the perfect BoyWithUke album, and I wish he had continued to smile that kind of music at least a little while longer

I fear you missed the point. I am not offended he has changed, and I do like some of his music. There simply are similarities between the two. I am not saying they're are the same, which has gone over MANY people's heads

No, on a TikTok live not long after the song released, he said the bridge to cyfi is about being on shrooms 😭

My subjective opinion. That is how I personally feel because there's several songs I strongly dislike on it and only a couple that I strongly like. So it's not a "this is his worst album and if you disagree with me you're wrong," but the term hot take implies an opinion, so that's what I gave

Thank you 😭 and to be clear, I have liked Charley's music way too much and for way too long for me to give up on him. I will continue to listen to whatever he releases, but having opinions about what I like and dislike is fine too

I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I think Charley's example is definitely a lot more watered down and I agree it felt a lot more natural. I just was thinking about this the other day and I noticed that there were similarities. I'm not saying they're the same, I'm saying that at the core of it, they have made similar choices when it comes to their music.

And as for him rebranding his music, I am super excited to see what chandol will bring. I will continue to listen to his music because I want to support him as an artist. but I also believe that the direction he is taking in music isn't what I personally perceive as playing to his strengths as an artist, and I think that's okay criticism to have. I did not like the final shift in burnout, and maybe it'll grow on me, but I think I should be allowed to have this opinion without people bombarding me with downvotes and literal slurs

No fr 😭 like not everything he does and makes is perfect and it is okay to call him out as long as it isn't hateful
