TX2 - End Of Us (2026)
This is loud, confrontational, and clearly made to provoke — but it doesn’t always hold together as an album. The End Of Us leans hard into emo-tinged alt-rock theatrics: distorted riffs, big shouted hooks, and a kind of internet-age angst that’s intentionally exaggerated. When it locks into a focused chorus, it works. There’s real punch in some of the heavier moments.
But I keep feeling the seams. The stylistic jumps — from pop-punk gloss to metalcore aggression to industrial edges — don’t always feel intentional so much as restless. It’s energetic, yes, but not consistently crafted. I respect the ambition and the refusal to be subtle, but I don’t hear enough structural discipline to make it more than a decent, chaotic listen.
Pros
-
High energy and conviction – The aggression feels genuine, not phoned-in.
-
Memorable chorus moments – A few hooks genuinely stick after the first listen.
-
Genre crossover appeal – Blends emo, alt-rock, and metalcore elements in a way that could pull diverse listeners.
Cons
-
Inconsistent cohesion – Feels more like a playlist of moods than a unified statement.
-
Overwrought delivery at times – The intensity can tip into forced theatrics.
-
Limited replay depth – Once the shock and energy settle, not much nuance remains.
