Came back for a relisten and now I'm completely obsessed with this album
Gec 2 Ü is definetly a major highlight on the album, but this remix, unlike the Ringtone one (which was amazing), was a bit disappointing. It doesn't sound as crisp and playful as the original track
I'm not gonna lie, when the album came out, I had low expectations on how different it was going to be from The OOZ (which was definetly not a bad album, but could improve in many ways). Though, when I finally took a listen, I could see a major improvement on the experience. Man Alive!, in my opinion, brought a more solid, imersive, textured, poetically mature and direct perspective of Archie's music. It's easily his best record so far.
Not as good as Thom's solo masterpiece "The Eraser", but definetly an amazing record. Extremely entertaining, immersive and complex tracks, contemplated by a surreal and ethereal atmosphere + a deep concept behind. Really hope Thom continues with his solo career.
