There's undoubtedly a great amount of talent on this record, don't get me wrong, but it would be a lie to act like all the tracks are Chamber of Reflection's.
Simply a gorgeous album. Every part of it is pretty and ripe with emotion, and I regret not listening to it any sooner than I did. So much feeling is put into every second of the album, and it truly shows.
This is more Daft Punk music so there's not a whole lot to complain about, but it doesn't manage to reach the same heights as the original record. Which is okay! It's just meant to be a deluxe edition, after all.
Not explicitly bad, just it feels like every part overstays its welcome and Thundercat doesn't do anything to help with that issue. Tame Impala is great as always, though.
This album wasn't exactly mid but I wouldn't call it great either. It's very much a meh: a couple highs, but more often than not it falters. It feels empty if I really think about it, and while clearly having a soul to it, the project in all lacks something major which would make it feel more cohesive instead having what feels to be two different EPs with distinct styles that had their tracks mashed together into an album.
