In honor of seeing Saint Motel with Alli last month, I decided to review my favorite album by them, Voyeur. Feed Me NowIf I was in a high school movie, and they needed a scene where the main character gets ready in two minutes and leaves for school a complete mess, this would be it. When they played this song at the gig, I cried. I love this song so much, and it's just the sort of Saint Motel that I love! All of the instruments sound excellent together, too! Excellent song. Amazing song. I love it. I love Voyeur. I love Saint Motel. I love Alli for getting me into them, and like everything else. Benny GoodmanAn excellent song. They played this at the gig too. The entire venue was jumpin jumpin jumpin, and we were on the second floor of the place! It was awesome, but also terrifying. Just like A/J Jackson's hair. Again with the instruments all sounding excellent together?! I love Saint Motel. For some reason, the end-ish? of this song almost sounds like Muse to me?? That's cool. Puzzle PiecesI LOVE THIS SONG. OMG. It was maybe the fourth Saint Motel song I ever heard, and the first off Voyeur. There was a guy at the gig who really wanted this song. He fist bumped us when A/J said "say hello to your neighbor." We were his neighbors. He freaked out when this song came out. He was adorable. I miss him. Puzzle Pieces Guy, if you're reading this, this is for you. Daydream/Wetdream/NightmareThis is most likely my favorite Saint Motel song. I love it. I especially love how they switch the vibes a bunch of times in the song. My favorite part is the middle, which I'm guessing is the 'wetdream' part? Anyway, whatever. I like the daydream part too, especially the transition. I'm surprised they didn't play this song at the gig. I love A/J's vocals. A/J? More like Slay/J. The transitions in this song are really excellent, because it all flows together, and it feels like you've listened to one song instead of three, shorter, separate songs while still acknowledging that there were like, shorter songs in it. Nice. 1997This song makes me feel so hopeful about life. I don't know why. It's really pretty. (Um, nevermind about the entire 'hopeful' thing. Thanks Alli. I'm never hearing this song the same again. I thought it was about a guy making friends in 1997. It's not about that.) Honest FeedbackThe harmony in this one is beautiful!! I love the vocals so much. This song's so pretty. Every song on this album is pretty. I'm calm. The guitar thing is really nice too. The lyrics are pretty cool. At Least I Have NothingThe title of this song gives me a Modest Mouse vibe, for some reason. These lyrics are dark. I like the instruments, though. They're beautiful, as usual. A/J could stab me and I wouldn't mind. That is in no way an invitation to do that, A/J, if you're reading this. You Do It WellThis is the most intense Saint Motel song I've heard. Dang. This was on my field hockey hype playlist. The vocals are excellent. IT'S SO INTENSE. OMG. Ok. I'm calm. Never mind, A/J did the thing again. I'm into this. Hands Up RobertI like this. It's nice. I like the guitar. I love how Saint Motel can be both super calm and super intense at the same time. Usually it's one or the other with other bands. That guitar thing just now sounded very Franz Ferdinand and then very Interpol. Whoa. Cool. I'm into this. I like this. Yes. Good. StoriesThe beginning of this song sounds like a Target commercial. I love this song, though. Everything's super nice, and the instrumentals give me a Fratellis vibe. I like when A/J yells. I like the hug it out line too. This is super intense again. Nice. Ok, cool. It's no longer intense. It's still nice and calm. Cool. Balsa Wood BonesTHIS SONG MAKES ME CRY. IM DEAD. JUST LIKE THE PERSON WHO WAS MEAN TO A/J. THAT WAS ONE DARK ENDING. Besides that, it's really pretty! Both the vocals and instrumentals have really cool, calm vibes. I'm into that, if you couldn't tell. I love this song so much. It's so beautiful. I'm into this.
