as a first time underscores listener, i was not expecting much. however, each track continued to grow on me. they all have a different sound, but each track still resonates to the overall sound of the album. definitely an album that you have to listen through in one sitting rather than just listening to individual tracks and calling it a day.

a rather late review, given i listened to this album when it came out. however. i just never listened to it again. so many tracks off of this album were just so average, especially for mr. mars. i feel like the ballads off this album were much more fun to hear compared to the more upbeat and silk sonic-esque tracks. even then, i feel like i could (respectfully) hear the vocal strain in the last track
★ [why you wanna fight?, god was showing off, nothing left]
to preface: i have listened to a few tracks before, and might have used that as the grading scale for the rest of the tracks. the beats and producing are all really good, but some kinda feel like a paraphrased version of a previous beat, if that makes sense. the flow of each track are all very fitting, and set the vibe whenever played.

can’t lie, the track is very straightforward. part of me wishes there was more. another part of me is glad that it stayed the way it was because i just know it’ll grow on me. is the return of bruno mars what they call a recession indicator?
