Like most fans, I was quite worried for the new album. For the most part, the singles were underwhelming, but I went into the album with an open mind, ready to love whatever the best boyband since One Direction dropped.
And I didn't like it... at first. I viewed the whole project as underwhelming, unfinished, sloppy, messy, and incoherent with a lack of focus and I was ready to rate this thing a straight 40/100. But something kept me listening, which is rare for an album that I didn't have a ... read more

Seriously, the day I fully love "Moonchild," is the day this album is an 100/100.
