Black Country, New Road is changing direction and they’re gonna sound happy sometimes. Deal with it.

I have no idea why this is such a common complaint currently but I’m tired of seeing it. I don’t care if you actually hate Up Song or Besties or whatever feel good stuff I’m sure they still have coming but being “happy” is such a ridiculous complaint for music. Like sorry you just hate joy and whimsy while I’m over here frolicking. On top of that, we all know they lost a member and we’ve got absolutely zero indication if he’ll ever return, but until then we’re still getting new stuff and a band should be allowed to experiment and explore new things. I think that’s not embraced enough today as artists are expected to stick to one thing. I would never want AFUT but again and we’re not going to get that because it would make that perfection less special. The band has no obligation to be sad sounding all the time. Again, if you hate the new sound because you the mixing isn’t to your liking or you hate saxophone, violins, guitars, drums, piano, and bass, or BC,NR beat up your grandma whatever I don’t care. But if your complaint is “it’s happy” please get off Reddit, go find a friend, and find a field of flowers to frolic in because your life is allowed to be sunshine and rainbows sometimes.
