Far from his best. Boring bars, boring flows. Lyrically, this is empty, misogynistic, corny, and cliche. Production-wise, there’s some amazing stuff on here, and it’s the only reason I’ll be coming back to some of these songs. Never ever has production carried an album THIS hard for me. Not to mention, this album is SO bloated - what the fuck do you mean there’s a “Director’s Cut on the way??” Fuck off

Some bangers, some meh, and I have been conditioned by the incredible live performances to think that each of these songs are way better than they actually are. That being said, three years later, Chang’e still pisses me off

Beautiful

this shit is genuinely so good if you pretend the interludes don’t exist

Bland x12 and any song that starts to sound interesting goes on like 45 seconds too long. Frustrating

Holy shit lol

It very well could be nostalgia, but listening to this in full once more... there isn't a single bad song on here. Every track is catchy and impressive. A must listen

Nothin too special but pretty alright. Alright, alright, alright

Phantom Island was just okay but I’m glad it took one for the team because Flight b741 wouldn’t be such a solid album otherwise so for that I’m thankful

JEEEEESUSS CHRISTTT

I haven’t had such a visceral reaction to a first listen of an album since I was in middle school listening to The Powers That B for the first time. Around either Believe or Guesthouse, I spent a lot of the remaining time listening with my jaw open and completely mesmerized. It’s warm, it’s magical, it’s beautiful. This album is going to go CRAZY in the fall

probably the most relistenable album of all time - still haven’t gotten sick of it since it came out a couple years ago. pure motion and aura. fucking rips

fav tracks: motor spirit, gila monster, dragon, flamethrower

would probably go hard in a sweaty dark room

fav tracks: big poe, ring ring ring, don’t tap that glass / tweakin’

this rating is only going to go up and it still almost feels like recency bias in my mind and I’m trying to restrict the score but god this is incredible

Minus 10 for that Tyler verse

has some songs that I think I like (?) gonna need a relisten maybe

some of these songs feel magical bro it’s so good

fav tracks: These Things Happen, Backpedaling, Sore Losers, U&I 1991
