Iโm proof that itโs not only the music that matters when crafting a project. My anticipation for an album that was never on my radar from a band I never really cared about grew out of nowhere thanks to a pair of fantastic visuals for their lead singles,ย โThe Manโ and โRun For Cover.โ These things do matter and theyโre what brought me toย Wonderful Wonderful in the first place.
โI saw my mother on the street last night
All pretty and strong, singing โthe road is longโ
I said โMomma I know youโve triedโ
But she fell on her knees and criedโ
Now admittedly, I was left more than a bit underwhelmed from the project as a whole. The two aforementioned songs were by and far the best songs offย Wonderful Wonderful, with the rest of the album meandering around that average range at best. โThe Manโ is a 9, โRun For Coverโ a 7.5, and the rest of the album between a 5-6, with maybe the exception of the titular track โWonderful Wonderful,โ that still falls well short of the potential it flashed. Nothing on the album stood out to me as particularly terrible but nothing on the album stood out to me at all (aside from the songs I mentioned), which is an even bigger problem in itself.ย Wonderful Wonderful turned out to be just a slightly above average album that failed to live up to the potential of itโs lead singles.
Have you heardย Wonderful Wonderful? Whatโd you think about it? Do you think it lacked in anything compelling or noteworthy like I did? Let me know in the comments below and be sure to leave your own ratings and reactions for the album.
