Madison Beer Album Review

 Life Support by Madison Beer 

Rating:★★★★★ (2)

Madison Beer is a musician who I know more as a TikTok star and being involved in David Dobrik's vlogs than any musical career. She is obviously a stunning chick and everything I've seen of her, she seems lovely. The Rick and Morty excerpt is very dope if not completely unexpected. Obviously, I don't think I'm the main demographic for this album but I will still give my unwanted opinion. 


The beginning of the album is creatively called The Beginning and this is a n
othing song. Only sounding like something you would hear at the start of the gig. Good in Goodbye carries on one of my most hated cliches in modern music. The spelling out of words in pop songs. No Doubt started this and although this greatly helps me spell banana, it annoys me every single time. However, apart from my annoyance at the spelling of G-O-O-D, the song is a bit of a nothingness. It's a catchy pop song but was nothing new and could have been copied and pasted from any pop album of the last 20 years. 

There is a few nothing songs on the album which just sound like Ariana Grande's rip offs. Not bad they just don't change your life and pass you by effortlessly. However, my favorite song on the album is Follow the White Rabbit. It has some shit to do with Alice in Wonderland, but that is not what makes the song good. The hook is amazing and grabs you the first time I heard it. The first song on the album that I truly enjoyed and one that I would go back to. It sounds more unique than any of the other songs and is not a carbon copy of any other popular artists. 

Selfish seems like a Taylor Swift kind of ballad where for the first time in this album, I felt that Madison actually pours her heart into the album and speaks about stuff that is important to her. However, it has nearly 200 millions streams. It is a decent song but is it 200 million streams worth of decent, no absolutely not. I find Baby incredibly catchy and it gets stuck in my head a fews seconds after listening to it. More catchy than most STDs but I will still be humming it repeatedly after only just listening to it. 

Stained Glass and Emotional Bruises are two of the most interesting songs on the album for me. They're a lot more unrefined and actually shows off her vocal range instead of the autotune tunes that are earlier. Two unique songs on an album that is lacking any diversity. 

Overall, there is some decent songs on this album but overall it sounds like white noise with songs passing you by quite effortlessly. I think Madison is lacking on some of outpouring her should on a few songs but when she does this, it makes for good music. Madison is still younger than me so she has potential for the future but this album is not for me.

Stranger Things Season 3 Review

Stranger Things Season 3 Review Rating: ★★★★★ (3.5) Spoilers of course I am a big fan of Stranger Things, when series one first came out I watched the whole series over one night. This series also broke a load of Netflix streaming records according to the company, no one really knows and these records seemed to get broken constantly so everything is taken with a pinch of salt in my eyes. On the whole, I liked this series not as much as the first one but I would say it would be on par or just below the second one. There were a few good additions to the cast and the story but the pacing for me just seemed kinda off. Firstly, additions to this season do add new dimensions to this season. Robin played by Maya Hawke is a new fresh addition, her chemistry with Dustin and particularly Steve, are some of the best scenes of this year. The other member of the Scoops Ahoy team is Erica Sinclair. Although not a completely new addition, the characters minutes in this season were quite dra...

Avengers:Endgame Review

Avengers: Endgame Review Rating: ★★★★★ (4.5) This is a heavy, heavy spoilers review. Don't read it unless you have watched the film. I would not wish that upon anyone.  This is the 22nd film of the MCU and that sentence is just nuts to me. Star Wars was first released in 1977 and there have only been half the amount of films released. Of the top 25 highest grossing franchises of all time, only James Bond has had more films then the MCU and grossed nearly a third less than Marvel films. The 3 Avengers films so far before this one, have grossed slightly less than the whole DC universe as well as such famous franchises Jurassic Park, Batman and The Fast and the Furious. Those numbers hurt my head and they go to some way to explain what a social and commercial juggernaut these films are.  I expected the world from this film and going I was both excited and nervous. There are many ways that this film could have gone wrong however there are only a few that it c...

Dark Phoenix Review

Dark Phoenix Review Rating: ★★★★★ (2) Dark Phoenix is the 12th film in the X-Men universe and the seventh film in the main X-Men series. I saw the Rotten Tomatoes score and I was worried about this film. I wanted this film to be good quite badly. I really like this cast and wanted this film to be good without the dodgy Bryan Singer. However, I did not like this film and was massively disappointed with this film. First of, at the beginning of the film, it just didn't feel cut right to me. Everything was too jumpy and just didn't feel cut right. The scenes alongside each other didn't seem right to me, I don't really know how to put this into common speech and probably won't make sense to most people. Anyway, another problem I had with this film is the constant music. It took away from the drama and the acting. Why have Oscar-nominated actors and actresses if the tension is undercut with music. I am a massive fan of soundtracks and a good one which this probably i...
