Review
The Plot In You really said "let's flip the script" with "Dispose," and honestly? They nailed the assignment. This fourth studio effort sees Landon Tewers and crew diving headfirst into uncharted territory, trading their metalcore comfort zone for something way more experimental. Think electronic textures meeting R&B-influenced vocals, all wrapped up in a moody package that channels influences like Sevdaliza, Jorja Smith, and The Weeknd. It's the kind of creative pivot that could've been a total disaster, but instead feels like the natural next step for a band ready to level up.
What makes "Dispose" hit different is how raw and vulnerable it gets while exploring toxic relationship dynamics and emotional detachment. Tracks like "Rigged," "Not Just Breathing," and "Disposable Fix" showcase this perfectly balanced aggression-meets-introspection vibe that runs through all 10 tracks. For the first time, this was truly a collaborative band effort rather than just Tewers doing everything himself, and you can hear that collective energy in the layered production work from Tewers and Drew Fulk. At just 35 minutes, the album creates this tight narrative arc about breaking free from destructive cycles, proving that sometimes the biggest risk leads to the biggest reward. - Zadie
