yes, this is different than ftp's debut, however it is better. it lacks poppy radio hits, but has deeper and slower songs that give Supermodel the character that Torches didn't have. i wasn't expecting the A$AP Rocky sample, but it really added to beginner's guide. overall, this may be labeled as a sophomore slump, but this LP has some really different and excellent music.
fav tracks: pseudologia fantastica, the truth, a beginner's guide to destroying the moon
least fav tracks: fire escape(by far the worst), coming of age,
overrated: best friend
