Everyone Loves This Comeback… So Why Doesn’t It Work for Me?

I went into this expecting to hate it. I haven’t seriously listened to Poison The Well since the late 90s, and honestly, I didn’t plan on changing that. Then a message from a friend dragged me back in. This is their first album in 17 years, and instead of playing it safe, they try to pull everything they’ve ever done into one record. The result is messy, heavy, melodic, confused… and somehow still getting praised across the board. So I went back, revisited the old material, and tried to figure out if the problem was them… or me. On this channel I review albums across hardcore, punk, metal, hip hop and beyond. No hype, no nostalgia bias, just direct music analysis and honest reactions. If you care about songwriting, production choices, scene impact, and how records actually hold up over time, you’re in the right place. New reviews weekly. Subscribe if you’re serious about music.
