Emjoyed the album. I feel like the first half of the album is more enjoyable than the last half to me. Which is no slight to the songs featured in the second half, this album just has a really good start. It does end on a high note with Show 10 and Take me Back. Two instant classics with the latter of which complete with motif call backs to previous tracks serving to tie a neat bow on the whole package.

Deluxe tracks go wild. Huge fan of the 365 cover, Pineaple Fried Rice, and the Baddest remix. Can’t stop didn’t grab me and Freaks felt like it was missing something to really elevate it. Both decent songs, but they feel outshined by the other deluxe tracks.

Used to be a massive fan of the Keys since the Rubber factory days. I’ve followed Auerbach’s career through the many side projects he performed with (Arcs, solo, etc.). I think their direction and my interests have finally diverged. I found this album so incredibly boring. It just felt like a soundtrack to play during a domestic beer commercial.

Album peaks in the first few songs and the longer it goes on the more “ok” it gets. Still great! But ultimately disappointing by how strong of a start this album has.
