Jon Bellion - All Time Low

I suppose it's something I just have to accept whenever there's a big name/trend in the charts. It was only a matter of time before something Twenty One Pilots core that isn't by the duo themselves ended up breaking out in the ARIA chart. Twenty One Pilots have their own unique way of alternating between enjoyable, tolerable and obnoxious (often in the space of a single song) and seem like they're too focused on making just the most bizarre music. It's a shtick which surely attracts a large portion of their fanbase that want something a bit more 'edgy' than a boyband or your usual pretty boy pop act. So naturally to someone who isn't enchanted by them (like me), it's easy to come to the conclusion that this shtick takes precedence over quality.

Like a lot of imitators in the chart's long history, Jon Bellion whoever the hell he is seems intent on taking this concept even further. The verses are easily mistaken for Twenty One Pilots, and in a way the rest of the song even moreso. The verses just sound so out of place when meshed together with that annoying hook, with that embarrassingly awful attempt of a drop combined with the tedious repetition of the word 'low'. It reminds me of some particularly tedious moments on "Blurryface".

Now that I'm not hearing the radio almost every day, this has become even more avoidable. Which I'm thankful for, because my opinion of this track goes low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low etc. every time I'm subjected to it. Big pass here.
