    Whether due to the pandemic or not, Contender however suffers from a lack of consistency mirroring the context in which it was created. Despite nuanced shifts in their sound, the blueprint remains much the same.

    I think the album is okay; the performances do have redeeming qualities; however, a great deal of this sounds like everything I have heard ofI think the album is okay; the performances do have redeeming qualities; however, a great deal of this sounds like everything I have heard of before. So much, in fact, to the point where the album lands on this weird grayscale somewhere between "offensively boring" and "so boring you zone out and forget you are even listening to music." This album sounds computer-generated and yet so realistic it's unnerving. The vocals are alright, not really my vibe, but I bet someone might dig it. The mixing felt a bit awkward and makes the album feel like the primary focus is the vocals, which is not a bad thing if done right; however, in this case, I think the mixing could've used a few adjustments. I don't really have a favorite song nor least favorite song; that's how bland the album is! So if you want to listen to an album that sounds like Royalty-Free Stock Music levels of pop-rock, then I guess this is the album for you?
