Piss In The Wind

Joji historically has songs that kind of fall under the banner of being half-demos. They're fully created and mixed and mastered, but are way too short. It really depends on the specific album if they have more or less of these but "Nectar" was the first time this might be a problem with his music. "SMITHEREENS" even had this issue to a degree despite the low track count. Now "Piss In The Wind" returns more to the former's style with it's length. If 21 songs in 45 minutes doesn't tell you what you need to know about this, I don't know what will. The songs themselves are well made but don't really bring to life many of the ideas. "Past Won't Leave My Bed" is probably the closest we get here to a fully functional song acting closer to "Glimpse Of Us". Not meaning that I think he should continue making songs that sound like that, it's just a coincidence that they do, but more so that it feels like a real fuuuulllll song. It has progression. Lots of these other songs are simply ideas. I still liked this as a whole since it does sound good overall. I just hope one day, Joji can dive a bit deeper into some of these and actually finished them.
