Lonely, sad, and has doesn't know what to do with her life but also thinks everyone else around is worse than her. Good storytelling and expression of conflicting thoughts but a lackluster execution with the added bonus of some cringe millennial lyricism. I love a good steel guitar tho.

Really committed to the toxic RnB genre with the lyrics. Don't know whats up with the album cover. Liked the South Asian influence but I wished he had fully committed and done something more original. How are you going to name your album after a specific vocal technique and not even feature it? At least it sounded cohesive.

Disco, occasionally. Alt-pop all the time. This album contains the same amount of disco references as Harry has dancing skills. Half of these songs sounded like early-Twenty One Pilot left overs. Also, his voice does not fit this style at all. How do you make an album named after disco and make zero fun, dance-able songs? He must kiss all the time to the point where he doesn't even have time to go disco. It takes talent to experiment with your sound and still end up sounding more boring ... read more
New investment idea for Mitski: SSRIs... However, I did like the sad, yearning, creeper vibe.

Cracked the code to writing bangers a little too well. All his music might have started to sound the same but at least it doesn't sound bad. Consistency gets a bit dull with the radio hits but I can never get tired of his ballads, no matter how homogeneous they sound. The constant hints of more interesting music choices showing up, like rock and latin, made me more disappointed listening to this. Not bad, not mad, just a little bored.

The toxic minimal-production is his trademark, but its nothing that he hasn't done before. It honestly takes talent to create so many different songs that sounds the exact same. I wish he committed to the groovy R&B a little more. I hope to see some more experimentation and exploration with his sounds in the future.
