“We open very much on message with the rumination that is Am I Really Going To Die (we’re not making this up), which contains the unmissable couplet: ‘Life…it holds a whip and beats you to the clock/But why it picks on mine, is an unfairness I can’t miss off’,” our review reads.
“And yet whilst reading like something from a lonely Year 9’s creative writing project, the song sounds great, a grade 1 banger which turns its pretense into a form of validation.
