Half Empty's latest album, People Are Basically Good, is a thought-provoking and introspective collection of songs that explore the complexities of human nature. From the opening track "Broken Record" to the closing number "Better Days," the band delivers a raw and honest portrayal of the human experience.
The album's standout tracks include "Invisible" and "Lost in Translation," both of which showcase Half Empty's ability to blend introspective lyrics with catchy melodies. The band's lead singer, whose emotive vocals are a highlight throughout the album, shines particularly bright on these tracks.
What sets People Are Basically Good apart from other albums in the genre is its willingness to tackle difficult and uncomfortable topics, such as mental health and addiction. The track "Addicted" is a particularly poignant example of this, with its stark lyrics and haunting melody.
