Too - FIDLAR (Album Review)

FIDLAR - Too

Album Review


FIDLAR's second album is like the morning after of the party that was their first album. The drugs and alcohol are still as omnipresent as ever, but now the consequences are there to be seen.

40 oz On Repeat opens the album with a bang and introduces you to the roller coaster that is Too. Album highlights include Overdose, a far softer song than FIDLAR have ever produced before. Inspired by lead singer Zac Carper's experience of overdosing three times in a month, the song is probably the most obvious example of the darker undertones now present in FIDLAR's work.

That's not to say it's all miserable now - songs like West Coast and Sober give the album the same level of life as their self titled debut, if more well-produced.

The final song on the album, Bad Habits is a perfect closer to summarise the sentiments of this album, with a catchy guitar hook and a chorus anyone can scream along too.

9/10
