>ARTMS - <Club Icarus> (first impressions)

>Club for the Broken
Arpeggiated piano runs and weird electronic stabs. An amuse-bouche.
>Icarus
Another piano intro. Ethereal head-voice chorus which fits thematically. Great title track.
>Obsessed
Very Jadenpop coded song. Very similar in soundspace to the recent triples stuff. Lost interest halfway through. Mid.
>Goddess
Very light on the vocals, the drums really are the main "singer" of this song. I like it.
>Verified Beauty
Another one that really blends into that signature jaden sound, not really my thing.
>BURN
Wasn't a fan of this song when it came out, opinions haven't changed much, it's ok.

Overall: Jaden clearly does not care about charts for this group anymore and fully commits to the artpop angle here which i can appreciate. The intro and title track are a really good opener but i'm not sure about some of the bsides. I don't know if it's the mixing or arrangement but some of the songs really do blend together and sound "mushy" but maybe that's just me. Was also hoping for more "club" bangers as that's in the title but the album is quite downtempo. Decent EP. Icarus is good.
