Mar 9, 2018Whether it’s cheering the night off with friends and family or spent in reflective solitude, I’m Bad Now is something you want to experience and get lost in, and if you don’t come back for a while, it’ll be just fine.
-
UncutMar 6, 2018I'm Bad Now feels as much a modest masterpiece as Spring Hill Fair or Tigermilk. [Apr 2018, p.32]
-
Mar 8, 2018I’m Bad Now is another reliable slab from Nap Eyes, with stronger melodies and more consistency across the board.
-
Mar 12, 2018I’m Bad Now is a more forthright, steady-going listen than Thought Rock Fish Scale, and, on first pass, it seems a touch less enchanting than that record’s nocturnal reveries. The new album shows Nap Eyes can certainly excel at tight, snappy power-pop (check the incisive opener “Every Time the Feeling”). But there are also all-too-brief flashes of viscerality that you wish the band had explored further.
-
Mar 12, 2018Personal taste will determine whether that's a good or bad thing. As, production aside, Chapman's still coming at modern dissatisfaction, alienation, and general self-loathing from a familiar and oddly reassuring place.
-
Mar 8, 2018I'm Bad Now delivers throughout its 11, mostly restrained pieces in a way that highlights Chapman's exquisite prowess for astute observational prose.
-
Mar 6, 2018Nap Eyes are mostly concise in their wanderings, but occasionally meander too far from the path.
