Revengeseekerz

the take

When I first skimmed Jane Remover’s Revengeseekerz, just hearing the first 30 seconds of each track, I was immediately turned off. I pushed a full listen back indefinitely—I didn’t see how this could be as praised as people were making it out to be. Eventually, I gave in just to see how disappointing it might be. And honestly, the first three tracks almost made me regret pressing play. Then something clicked—somewhere around “angels in camo,” I started to understand the direction Jane was going in, or at least their perspective. Rage mixed with digicore sounds strange on paper, but it actually works here. That said, the album is all over the place. The constant production switches make it hard to settle into each track, and while that chaos feels intentional, it also makes the experience hit-or-miss. Jane’s vocals are mixed pretty inconsistently too, which fits the sound but doesn’t always help. There are definitely highlights—“Fadeoutz,” “Dreamflasher,” and especially “Dancing with your eyes closed,” which is easily the best track. But a lot of the album sits in that middle ground: not bad, just not something I’d revisit often. Still, I respect the risk. This is experimental, left-field, and clearly resonates with its audience. Even if it didn’t fully click for me, I can appreciate the vision. At the very least, I’m glad I didn’t stick with my first impression and call it trash.
