Love You Madly Hate You Badly

A maximalist album where Oliver goes BIG in the name of love and hate. This feels like he's constantly trying to hit a home run with every swing. A lot of the lyrics are questionable towards the latter half, and many of the songs don't have anything that gripping. The opener "My Only Friend", "Joyride", "Someone Else", and "All You Ever Wanted" are the best as they happen to be when the stars align, and the crazy, bombastic elements collide properly. There is some cool heavy electronic production mixed with an almost grungy feel, but still far away from grunge or rock as a whole. When it hits, it hits well, and when it doesn't, it's a damn miss.
