yeule Evangelic Girl Is A Gun

Critic's Take

yeule’s Evangelic Girl Is A Gun reads like the pop record of the summer, where “Tequila Coma”, “Eko” and “Dudu” stake the claim as the album’s biggest hooks. The reviewer’s voice is breathless and admiring, calling out the opener’s bass and chorus on “Tequila Coma” and praising “Eko” for embracing pop punk while still folding in trip hop and glitch textures. There is a sun-drenched, speeding-through-the-desert vibe that ties these best tracks together, and the title track’s transition from “Saiko” into the centerpiece seals the album’s cohesion. Overall, the best songs on Evangelic Girl Is A Gun are those with instant sing-along choruses and vivid sonic details, which is why listeners will replay “Tequila Coma”, “Eko” and “Dudu” the most.

Key Points

• The best song is driven by instantly memorable hooks and vivid imagery, exemplified by the opener “Tequila Coma”.
• The album’s core strength is its confident genre-blending that turns early-2000s influences into cohesive, sun-drenched pop.

Critic's Take

yeule’s Evangelic Girl is a Gun is a record that often trades its earlier ambient mystique for nostalgic pastiche, and the best songs show why that trade-off is uneven. The reviewer's highlights point to “1967” as one of the most interesting cuts for its twisted acoustic and gnarly glitch production, and to “Dudu” as the record’s sharpest moment with a blissful, explosive chorus. But even when tracks like “Eko” offer glitzy alt-dance contrast, the album rarely sustains memorable choruses or specific songwriting, which undermines its broader appeal. The result is a record with a few clear highs among a lot of moody, forgettable wallpaper, leaving questions about whether this pop-leaning direction will ever fully pay off.

Key Points

• Dudu is the best song due to its vocal loops and the record’s strongest, most memorable chorus.
• The album’s core strength is occasional sharp songwriting and production moments, but it is weighed down by nostalgic pastiche and lack of memorable choruses.

Critic's Take

In this review Arielle Gordon finds the best songs on Evangelic Girl is a Gun are those that nod most clearly to trip-hop touchstones while offering small human anchors, but she ultimately argues the album rarely reaches those heights. Gordon singles out “Tequila Coma” and “What3vr” for their slow, shuffling rhythms and bluesy basslines, yet contends these tracks slide into the album’s tedious sameness. She praises moments on “Eko” and “1967” that try for climactic payoff, but notes the vocal filters and dense production bury those moments. The tone is disappointed but precise: technically sharp production cannot rescue songs that feel like revisits rather than revelations.

Key Points

• The best song(s) succeed when trip-hop textures meet human anchors, as in “Tequila Coma.”
• The album’s core strength is technically sharp production and evocative flourishes, but its dense sameness undercuts emotional impact.

Themes

Critic's Take

yeule’s Evangelic Girl Is A Gun finds its best songs in the bruised pop of “Tequila Coma” and the title track “Evangelic Girl Is A Gun”, which crystallise the album’s marriage of beauty and corruption. Elle Palmer writes in clipped, vivid strokes, admiring the Mura Masa-produced opener’s chiming trip-hop and the title track’s pulsating glitches, calling the latter “the hit of the record - run that shit back again.” The review’s tone is fervent but exacting, praising songs like “Eko” and “Saiko” for how they turn trauma and manipulation into intoxicating, strange pop. This is a record of disturbing glamour, and the best tracks are those that make that contradiction feel ecstatic and inevitable.

Key Points

• The title track is the standout due to its pulsating beat, glitches, and being called "the hit of the record."
• The album's core strength is its consistent marriage of beauty and corruption, realized through vivid production and lyrical imagery.

Critic's Take

yeule frames Evangelic Girl Is A Gun as a bruised, vampiric study of cyberpunk femininity where songs like “VV” and “Tequila Coma” register as the record's sharpest moments. The reviewer insists the album trades prior android detachment for a human assassin persona, and that intimacy in “VV” renders the emotional split with rare lyricism. Elsewhere, “1967” and “Saiko” deepen the themes of survival, addiction and machine-organic blurring, making the best songs on Evangelic Girl Is A Gun both seductive and deadly. This is praise measured by gravitas rather than flash, an album that rewards repeated listening for its strange, elegiac hooks.

Key Points

• “VV” is the best song for its intimate lyricism and resonant portrayal of fractured romantic identity.
• The album's core strengths are its vivid cyberpunk feminine imagery and the fusion of corporeal vampirism with fragile lyricism.

Themes

Critic's Take

In Evangelic Girl Is A Gun, yeule shifts from the arid sci-fi servers of prior work into something more tactile, where songs like “VV” and “Tequila Coma” feel kinetic and strangely hopeful. The record trades glitchy dream-pop for grunge-tinged, percussive melodicism, which makes the best tracks on Evangelic Girl Is A Gun - notably “VV” and “Tequila Coma” - stickier and more earthbound. It is in these moments that yeule’s pop ingenuity flexes, turning abstract ideas about fame and self-destruction into memorable, song-forward statements. The result is an album where the best songs reward repeated plays by balancing literary romanticism with immediate melodic payoff.

Key Points

• ‘VV’ is the best track because it crystallizes yeule’s newfound hopeful, pop-packaged energy and melodic immediacy.
• The album’s core strengths are its move from glitchy dream-pop to kinetic, percussive pop that makes themes of fame and self-destruction feel corporeal.

Themes

Critic's Take

I keep thinking about the best tracks on Evangelic Girl Is A Gun because they show what Yeule can still do: the title cut “Evangelic Girl is a Gun” detonates with the Yeulenergy missing elsewhere, while “Dudu” boasts a huge chorus that feels like a genuine next step. The reviewer’s tone is rueful and conversational - praise slips in amid disappointment - noting that “Saiko” productively marries previous vibes. Still, most songs feel abbreviated and conventional, which makes the highlights stand out all the more on this compact record.

Key Points

• The title track is the album’s best moment because it unleashes the missing Yeulenergy and sonic explosion.
• The album’s core strengths are Yeule’s vocal growth and a few high-quality pop cuts amid otherwise conventional songwriting.

Critic's Take

Nat Ćmiel, known here as yeule, puts both feet on the sidewalk with Evangelic Girl Is a Gun, and the best songs — notably “Tequila Coma” and “What3ver” — show why. The reviewer's voice is affectionate yet precise, delighting in pop hooks even as it catalogs disembodiment and paranoid atmospheres. “Tequila Coma” is praised for soaring vocals and a garage-y glitch guitar that makes it a standout, while “What3ver” rebounds the record with dream-pop atmosphere and supple bass that exemplify yeule's knack for narcotized pop. The title track and closer also dramatize the album's fascination with unity, disunity, and theatrical electroclash, rounding out a record that largely grasps its ambitions.

Key Points

• “Tequila Coma” is best for its soaring vocals, glitchy guitar, and versatility between dance and garage moods.
• The album's core strength is exemplary pop melodies married to an otherworldly, narcotized production that balances theatricality and intimacy.

Critic's Take

There are clear best songs on Evangelic Girl is a Gun, and Cassidy zeroes in on the title track and closing cut as emotional anchors. In her voice, the record’s centerpiece “Evangelic Girl is a Gun” is described as a three-movement electroclash magnum opus that explodes into feedback, while “Skullcrusher” lands as a painful but satisfying closer that crystallizes the album’s anguish. She also highlights the blunt immediacy of “1967” and the dream-pop glimmer of “Dudu” as standout moments, framing them as essential to understanding yeule’s fractured identity project. The reviewer’s tone is analytical and vivid, insisting these best tracks map the album’s journey from splintered selves to a more whole Now.

Key Points

• The title track is the album’s centerpiece for its multi-movement structure and explosive feedback.
• The album’s core strength is its exploration of splintered identity through varied genres and vivid sonic textures.
