FONTAINES DC MAKES ANOTHER 8/10 ALBUM WITH LIKE 2-3 MASTERPIECE SONGS ON IT AND ALSO SOME FILLER WHO KNEW
Far more ambitious and large-scale than I could have ever expected and it's going to take a while to fully take it in, but overall a lot of this was stunning. Not as memorable as their debut but might grow on me!
Of course I'm biased. I mean, look at my name. That said, FLIGHT b741 is just stellar, and an album that has already grown on me with every listen.

are you KIDDING ME!!! I had no idea this is exactly the kinda shit I needed this summer
kids hearing this in 1960 like: i feel the blood of satan flowing through me
This thing is so massive that 2 listens in and I feel like I experienced like 5% of it. It not being on streaming means it's hard to identify individual songs too. Kinda like getting lost in the Louvre! Anyway this is so beautiful and very much my cup of tea
Definitely a mess and shockingly forgettable despite how all over the place it is. But I will say that TOP is really going for it!
