This is the first album I ever loved. I'm pretty young and I haven't started my "music journey" so to speak; sooo many people I know and so many people on here all love music and seem to know so many things about it. And I love music too, but I haven't branched out and listened to a ton of records yet. I hope to change that, and I'm starting here with my first love album.
La La Land is one of my favorite movies. Its soundtrack is one of its greatest assets, owed largely to the work ... read more
Not as good as Social Cues, but just so fresh and insistent upon being fun. Nostalgia bias definitely coming in slightly ofc.
Favorites: Take It or Leave It, Telescope, Cigarette Daydreams
Least favorite: Teeth
Really few skips, just an all around great album. I listened to this so much in quarantine and loved hearing it in concert. Tokyo Smoke is not as good as I remember but that's okay.
Favorites: Black Madonna, Social Cues, Ready to Let Go, The War Is Over, Broken Boy
Least Favorites: Love's the Only Way, Goodbye, Skin and Bones
I loved Electric Love for years after first hearing it at age 15, and there were a couple more songs I really liked too, so for nostalgia's sake I decided to listen to this. It's pretty decent sunny 2010s indie pop. It doesn't stand out a whole lot to me besides a couple of the later tracks. Also the ending was kinda weak sadly. But thanks BORNS for the nostalgia (and for the fact that we share a birthday!!)
Favorites: Holy Ghost, Past Lives, Dopamine

My opinion is obviously colored by nostalgia because this was one of the first full albums I listened to ever, and it was in high school so it's been a few years. That being said it hasn't changed all that much since then - the first half is classic and then it kinda drops off after Your Side.
Top 3: Cough Syrup, 12 Fingers, Apartment
Bottom 3: St. Walker, Islands, Guns Out (cause I barely remember them lol.)
