Pope Francis will no longer simply be known as the Bishop of Rome or the world leader of the Catholic Church.

He will also be known as the first of 266 popes to release a fire mixtape.

The Pope, in accompaniment with multiple choirs, Damiano Affinito, Giorgio Kriegsch, and Alessia Busetto, came up with the brilliant idea to release the album “Wake Up,” which was released on Nov. 27.

The music sounds as if someone infused yoga music with rock and then pasted an old man giving a speech about God on top.

The song “Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!” consists of five grueling minutes of the pope talking over his unique style of music. He talks about how sin is tempting and that we should all instead sing and dance a praise to the god who saved us instead.

We apparently can’t do any of this while getting some shut eye, so the Pope has decided to command us to wake up and dance some more.

After hearing the Pope drone on about religion with background noise, listeners are treated to the beautiful line “Asian youth, wake up.” They are apparently known  for their lack of spirit and should work harder to find it.

The only actual singing is at the very end by Damiano Affinito in Latin, even though this is the only English language song on the entire album.

This song is the most popular out of the pile of rubbish from which to choose. It is the most widely understood song even though the only person with any musical talent in it is Affinito.

“¿Por Qué Sufren los Niňos?” starts off sounding like beautiful  music building up to a religious event. The two choirs singing have high but elegant voices. The song takes a turn for the worse when the pope comes in. Again, there is a flat tone coupled with talking over music that requires great emotion.

“Annuntio Vobis Gaudium Magnum” is another example of the why Pope Francis should not be spending his time trying to make music.

Enticing smooth sounds start only to be wrecked by almost seven minutes worth of the pope’s dry voice telling us about some great joys of the world. He apparently thinks his words are so great that the song requires the cheers of an audience in agreement. It’s at this point I should point out this was not a live performance.

The only written lyrics were for the other singers. The pope wanted to write an album for the people, but he only reused old speeches that everyone who wants to hear already can. He used a 2013speech for the song.

He spent his time trying to include a large amount of languages instead of actually focusing on how it all sounded. Latin, Italian, Esperanto, Spanish, English, and Portuguese have all been subjected to this deplorable excuse for music.

The Pope simply took some old speeches and incorporated them with yoga rock music. He then had others do the other portions that required actual talent.

The album is a waste of money unless listeners for some reason appreciate the ramblings of an old man.

I give this album one out of five pope hats.
