Artist Name: Colliding With Mars

Welcome to the article where the… mushroom reviews music with a completely biased viewpoint? Well, this certainly wasn’t in the plans, but then again, the mushroom usually never has any plans. Note: This is a mushroom activity not recommended for people to do. Instead, you should plan out your day with room for changes and not follow in the mushroom’s abnormally small footsteps.

In this article, I will be reviewing ranting about the latest album from Colliding With Mars, which was released around two days ago. And yet, I’ve seemed to have already listened to it for around twenty-four hours in total. That is twelve hours of each of my days. I am not biased.

As a whole, the album tackles Colliding with Mars’ feelings of incompetence as a musical artist as well as his relation to people’s opinions on his works. Additionally, there are moments when it’s shown that he has a ‘high ego,’ which I just define as moments when artists take pride in their work and the way it’s apparent through production, lyrics, and such. I usually find myself drawn to albums where there are both themes of incompetence and higher egos, such as brakence’s album hypochondriac. The duality of self-doubt with egotistical lyrics makes me genuinely more interested in music. 

In Time To Meet God, Colliding With Mars’ usual production shows through as it could be considered a far more production-heavy album than your usual pop songs. While songs such as “It All Comes Out In The Wash,” the starting song, “Clementine,” and “Salvation” are less production heavy in comparison to the rest of the songs on the album, distorted audios and, arguably, strange electronic sounds are still able to be heard. 

Additionally, because of the production heaviness, this might not be an album for everyone, but I would still recommend giving it a try. I’d recommend starting with the first song, “It All Comes Out In The Wash,” and not moving on to the second song. The reason why is that the contrast between “It All Comes Out In The Wash” and “Infantilization Song” have very different vibes, and while I have gotten used to it over the course of 24 hours, for new listeners, don’t strain your music tastes too much.

One of the small things that I loved in this album was the transition from song seven to eight and then to nine; they flowed very seamlessly, in my opinion. Additionally, I’m not exactly counting the songs co-produced with brakence, “Brightness of Vega” and “MEDIA IS GOD,” because I am far more biased towards brakence. I will say that “Brightness of Vega” and “MEDIA IS GOD” were the songs that made me actually listen to Colliding With Mars’s works, so check them out. And if you hate “MEDIA IS GOD,” keep your opinions to yourself. Do not tell the short shin biting mushroom.
