half of 28

this album changed the way that i viewed myself, pop music, and weird girls when it was released. standout tracks are thirst trap, drive, and shooting star

can you tell i went through a tumultuous breakup followed by a nerve wracking situationship? standout tracks are old recliners, compromise, some protector

talk about being repeatedly shot in the chest. hayley williams has a way of saying things that make me feel simultaneously so seen and also makes me want to eat glass. standout tracks are showbiz, disappearing man, and i won't quit on you

not surprised in the slightest that this album made it to this list. kahan is able to change and shape a narrative in such an achy way. i always appreciate the grit that he puts in his harsher songs. pieces of this album remind me so much of how my biological family exists in whatever midwestern version of a hollow exists in swmo. standout tracks include 23, paid time off, staying still, we go way back

calum hood had the largest solo impact from the 5 seconds of summer boys to me. ive always been partial to a great bassline and calum hood's first lone project keeps me interested and returning for more in a way the rest of his bandmates weren't able to. standout tracks are don't forget you love me, sweetdreams, i wanted to stay, dark circles
