# Straight Line Was A Lie - The Beths (Aug 2025)

### General Notes
Heavy use of looping backgrounds with vocals forward


- Track 1: Title track


- Track 2: Mosquitoes


- Track 3: No Joy

- Track 4: Metal
Softer than No Joy. still elevated energy level though. Not my fav.

- Track 5: Mother, Pray For Me
slowed back down, bare arrangment opening. Kinda wish this was the opening track. Keeping with the repetition trend.

- Track 6: Til my heart stops
Pairs wonderfully with track 5. 5 & 6 sort of feel like a different album thatn the rest so far. yearning and longing mimicry with backing track, when guitar comes in it feels more resolved

- Track 7:
