Reviews for "Riding the Waves of Darkness: Bqbe Surf Curse"
1. Kelly - 2 stars - I was really looking forward to "Goth bqbe" by Surf Curse, as I had heard great things about their music. Unfortunately, this album fell flat for me. The songs all sounded very similar, and there was a lack of variety in the instrumentation and overall sound. Additionally, the lyrics were quite repetitive and didn't offer much depth or substance. I was disappointed and expected more from a band with such a dedicated fan base.
2. Mark - 1 star - I just don't get the hype around Surf Curse and their album "Goth bqbe". The songs felt monotonous and lacked any sort of standout moments. The vocals were almost grating at times, and I found myself struggling to listen to the entire album without feeling bored. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable and unremarkable release.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - "Goth bqbe" was not my cup of tea. The songs all blended together and I had a hard time distinguishing one from another. The lyrics were also quite angsty and cliche, which made it difficult for me to connect with the music. I had higher expectations for Surf Curse based on the positive reviews I had read, but unfortunately, this album just didn't resonate with me.
