A COVID classic. Santa Monica is an amazing track, and the album is brief and enjoyable
I have to admit it is slowly growing on me. It is still rather disappointing, especially for the long wait. Contrary to popular consensus, I really liked End of Summer and Ethereal Connection: while providing a different tone, they transport me to a similar place as other more groovy songs by Tame Impala did.
At first, I felt confused, overwhelmed by the excessive amount of noise and feelings. However, the project has such a unique sound, such amazing moments, that I had to come back. I have now heard the album enough to say that I am obsessed and amazed.
As a Radiohead fan, I was very excited to see a new Thom Yorke project. While I like the album and the vibe he was going for, I have to be completely honest and admit I was kind of bored after the first four songs. I gave it several other chances, and I find myself thinking the lyrics are beautiful but the sound is just a bit boring for me.
Connect is an amazing track, mixing several instruments as it progresses and just demonstrating the massive creativity behind this entire project. Hope is also an amazing song, and a great way to finish one of the best albums of the year
