Review by Jack Lobb

The album Mad World by Red Paintings is a unique and eclectic mix of sounds, styles, and emotions. With a wide range of influences, including rock, classical, and experimental music, the band creates a sonic landscape that is both haunting and beautiful.

The album's title track, "Mad World," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its haunting melody and melancholic lyrics. The song is a reflection on the state of the world today, and the band's lyrics and music capture the sense of despair and hopelessness that many people feel.

Other standout tracks on the album include "You're Not One of Them," which features a driving beat and a catchy chorus, and "Dead Children," a haunting instrumental piece that is both beautiful and eerie.

Summary by Jack Lobb

Mad World is a powerful and thought-provoking album that showcases the Red Paintings' unique sound and style. Fans of experimental music, as well as those who appreciate thoughtful lyrics and complex arrangements, will find much to enjoy in this album.
