I am shocked to read this honestly, Runaway vocals are disgusting with a very pretensious music video imo. does the rest of the album follow the same direction of runaway?

What was so disgusting about the song and why do you feel that way about the video? I'm just asking this so I could better answer your question about the album, lol.

The vocals, unbelievable honestly. Why doesn't he produce music instead? does he really have to sing? I know this is a personal opinion but my god my ears lol.

The video, I am not sure , lately many pop artists are trying to sell their hollow pop music as something "deep" and I thought "runaway" was no exception.

I definitely understand what you're saying their. I won't name anyone, but their are a lot of pop artists doing that lately, and people are actually believing it and then believe that actually makes them "deep" and a lover of "art"

I come to somewhat believe that he is indeed a genuine lover of art, though. I was watching some of his interviews and streams or w/e earlier this year and he was naming artists that had a lot of credibilty in the underground scene and/or fashion world, etc. that inspired him and has worked with him. This album, the production on it is very good, its top notch, he definitely went all out on it. There isn't much singing by him, that's probably the only song he really tries to sing on, and one more where he sings for a little while. He leaves all the singing to everyone else, like John Legend, Bon Iver and Elton John (More like back-up vocals though, he also does a very nice Piano Solo in one of the songs), etc. I think you should give it a listen, lol. It shouldn't disappoint, I hope. :P

oh, I didn't know he didn't do much vocals , I'll give it a listen indeed :)

"Hurricane - 30 seconds to mars" is produced by him, I like it a lot!
