    ‘Suckerpunch’ is a bold sonic adventure that thrives on excess. Throughout the record’s constantly shifting 13 tracks, Moriondo proves that she’s an artist that can do it all, all while having an absolute ball.

    ‘SUCKERPUNCH’ sees Chloe Moriondo at their most daring and most confident on what is by far their most creatively impressive album to date.

    SUCKERPUNCH sees Moriondo in dialogue with all sorts of characters and musical methods, hitting peak creative heights, but sometimes lacks dialogue between its component parts. Moriondo’s vision, when it’s clear, is brilliant and radiates throughout the record, but sometimes in the jumps between moods can get a little hazy.

    There are plenty of good ideas across ‘Suckerpunch’. It just could’ve done with fewer bad ones.

    Too often, the album’s songwriting seems to be in service of odd aural components that overburden its 13 succinct tracks.

    Not as good as blood bunny at all but tolerable. Can't believe went from top 100 to this. Big step back.

This album is truly a sucker punch to anyone who enjoyed its predecessor. This is generic, auto-tune-heavy dance pop. Truly awful with the exception of a few tracks.… Full Review »

    it's a good album, but not at the level of the previous "blood bunny", literally I was suckerpunched by the opening track "popstar" somethingit's a good album, but not at the level of the previous "blood bunny", literally I was suckerpunched by the opening track "popstar" something I didn't expect, then "fruity" (no words, hyperpop perfection), but when I was getting into the groove comes "trophy" and sonically ruined the excitement. "knockout" is one of the high points that save this album from a mixed reaction, "hell hounds" hasn't grown much on me since its release, and "hotel for Clowns" although I like the lyrics, the way of singing, and the rhythm we can clearly see that it is a trap for tiktokers. "DRESS UP" was growing on me slowly, "celebrity", "plastic purse" and "CDbaby… Full Review »
