Day 896: All of These Rose Petals by Vatista
I literally found this by trying to see what the breakcore album from 2021 with the highest number of ratings on RYM was. And, of course, it had to be one with nightcore as a subgenre.
Actually, that's not fair, there have been one-off nightcore or nightcore-adjacent things I've enjoyed, like, uh... My friends thought that
Goreshit was nightcore so I think that counts?
Either way, this is a brief project, 8 tracks, 22 minutes. The artist self-described this as

A personal exploration of unreciprocated crushes, lost lovers, and finding happiness in a life tangential to love

and to that I say, now I see why your love life failed. Because I HATE this. It's same-y, and I hate the vibe that is being repeated the same. Maybe it's my fragile emotional state making me biased against this but I listened to this three times and I could not pick out a single track that I personally enjoyed, and the whole thing just made me angry. It doesn't make me think of actual felt emotions, but rather some kitsch-y, overly bubbly idealization of what someone THINKS love feels like. I guess I can respect some of the drum programming, but that doesn't mean I enjoy it.
I need help...
Best Track: I literally just told you, NONE
