This album is just genuinely not enjoyable. It reeks of the most bland pop music of the past 10 or so years at times. The collaboration with 100 gecs on 'Lonely Machines' makes NO sense as a single for this album. A lot of it screams "I'm 13 and this is deep".

Overall, if you like to listen to weezer, this is more for you. It is a very casual listen that doesn’t make you think all that ... read more
This album is decent. If you are in search of 100 gecs or Dylan Brady, that isn’t exactly what you find. The production of this album is where Dylan shows up, and it is very much his sound. Where this album really shines, in my own opinion, is in the other members of this super group as well as the features. Ravenna Golden and Lewis Grant’s vocals here are addictive to say the least. They go together very well, and are highlighted by Brady’s production.
As for my favorite ... read more
