Tones and I – Welcome To The Madhouse review

I’m just gonna be honest here, I didn’t finish the album all the way through in one sitting, beacuse my ears literally just physically couldn’t do it… I had to take mind you MULTIPLE pauses to crawl through this laughably bad expirience of an album. Like this is the reason why I stopped listening to the radio, this album alone is the reason why people trash on modern pop music and it is as horrible as those people make it up to be, if not worse – this is hands down the most generic, bland, soulless piece of music I’ve quite possibly ever heard. Now before you say it, the album as a whole is not as bad as the war crime of a song that is „Dance Monkey“, the song that somehow managed to popularize Tones and I, but still, in all honesty, by far the biggest sin this album commits… It’s those damn vocals. Like OH MY GOD how do people listen to these and just not want to take out their ear drums? The vocals are beyond trash and no music surrounding them could save it whatsoever, they are quite literally unlistenable. Also doesn’t help the fact that the giant majority of the songs here are forgetable as hell, which can also be interpreted as a saving grace, but what I’m saying is that it’s not even „so bad it’s good“, no, trust me, I wish that was the case here, these songs make Corey Feldman’s music sound tolerable. Honestly, do yourself a favor and just don’t listen to this, save your ear drums for something more enjoyable (which is quite literally anything if I’m being honest).
There are no favorite tracks, no redeeming qualities, no saving graces to this – this album is audio torture in it’s finest. Like this is the ultimate torture method, I wouldn’t be surprised if countries were using this to torture their hostages, it should actually just be illegal.
Decent 0/10
