Album Review: Unwanted by Pale Waves
Fairly Good, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 6/10
The band's first two albums, My Mind Makes Noises and Who Am I?, generated enough buzz to warrant support slots for Muse, The Cure, and 5 Seconds of Summer. Dressed in leather and edgy makeup, Pale Waves look gorgeous on a stadium stage. But why aren't they headlining those yet? With emo nostalgia and guitar music revival in full bloom, Pale Waves' new LP Unwanted arrives perfectly on time.
Opinion: Very Good
2017 saw the rise of Pale Waves, following their Dirty Hit signing and an opening slot for The 1975's sold-out Madison Square Garden show. With this rise came slews of fans who not only share a love for Pale Waves' pop-punk sound, but the sense of belonging evoked through their music. Across its 13 tracks, 'Unwanted' is a love letter to the misfits.
