Very dreamy and nostalgic sounding record. The intro is immaculate but the second half wipes the first with ease.
It has its moments but I overrated the fuck out of this thing holy shit. Way too many dull moments.
Like Souvlaki, this took a while for me to "rate" even after listening to this a million times. shoegaze does something to me, loved most of it.
If this was his last album, it would be fitting. Super introspective, but it still has its bars. Most of these beats are phenomenal and I love how fitting his voice is for this thing. The middle stages for a good bit but from Celibate on it’s great.
Cornball band kid listens to Illinois and thinks he can make music
the songs i liked as a child actually grew on me, but the songs I never liked got way worse.
I don't like music anymore. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.
Pretty on par with Salad Days score wise, but there are definitely some differences. The album is less consistent, but the highs are way better than the highs on Salad Days, but that goes for the lows aswell. Another thing, a lot more tracks on this thing were recognizable. This must’ve been more popular than his last record.
Cool lil thing. Nothing special. Less consistent than Salad Days. Ending is whatever.
Pretty cool project. Most songs blend into the next but in a very good way. Also super consistent. Added to the list of albums I want to get stoned to.
Edit: this thing is a grower.
75->85.
Relistening after religiously bumping this a few months ago (around 6), and I can't lie... this grew off me PRETTY heavy. First off, the albums drags, this shit felt like an hour and 20 minutes. Next, the lyricism is pretty bad, which is easily the weakest part of the album. Some of these songs are too long for their own good. You got your point across, you don't need to stretch it out because it sounds good, that takes away from the album as a whole. Now I could ramble about the albums issues ... read more

overall, I'm feeling a 90. Feel like I wouldn't come back to any track here besides the first, but cool listen anyway. Might check out their other work.
