Not like the previous album but that's OK

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020

A lot of reviews have bashed this album for being too "un-rock", but that's unfair. Maybe it's because I don't have a problem with hip hop or electronic music or artists branching out. I have never really seen Highly Suspect as some sort of saviors of rock, to be honest. When I first heard "Hello My Name is Human", what came to my mind was more a harder version of Imagine Dragons than some group of grunge revivalists like The Boy Died Wolf implied.

Perhaps this is a temporary departure. Or many it's the direction they want to go in the future. Either way, I enjoyed this album and I believe anyone else who goes in with an open mind will as well.

Definitely a left turn

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019

Man was this a let down. I get experimenting but what's the sense in having the Terrible Jonny project if Highly Suspect is gonna be 60-70% the same pop, hip hop stuff. Not only is this a 180 I'm genre but its poorly produced and written. Some songs have an over abundance of club bass that the lyrics can't be heard clearly through my Sennheiser M2.0s so I know it's not a hardware issue on my part. Let this first review be a warning for those seeking that typical bluesy, grungy, gutsy, and rock style of previous albums. Only about 4 songs are in that realm and done so poorly. Wish I could get refunded for thos download. The Chocolate starfish of 2019.

Not a fan of MCID, different is an understatement. Guitar and drums replace with synthesizer. Better luck next album, hope the next try is as good as your previous two albums. Saw them in concert and loved them, glad they mainly played their old stuff.

Highly Disappointed

After 3 spins through the album, I am at a loss.
It's not that it is terrible, it is just very different from what I was expecting, and far from what I was looking forward too. By far the most disappointing album release by them, including the 2011 stuff.
Not sure if this will get enough play to "grow" on me. I almost feel deceived, they definitely released to strongest tracks prior to the release to suck us in. Like Terrible Johnny says if we alienate some fans that's a good thing...?
It's their band and this was by design.

Very different Direction

16 was my personal favorite. The Rap direction was a surprise but I think it would have worked better mixed with the high energy vocals found in Human. Unfortunately, there are no Humans or Lydias on this one.

75% Garbage

My most anticipated rock album of the year..
Biggest let down of the decade! Maybe 5 songs worth buying, 'Arizona' being the best (by Rich). Johnny needs to nix this sh*t popstar/rapper image ASAP!
