WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT
This is as good as all the other stuff we're getting. It's like Me and Michael's depressed twin sister.
These damn guitars and choirs are fantastic all the way through this album. In fact the production is pretty great through out.

Growing on me as my favorite single hes released this year. Those drums. THOSE DRUMS THOUGH. The vocals seem a bit too spacey, but it goes well with what he's doing with the verses.

Extremely impactful. Fantastic lyrics, vocals, pacing, EVERYTHING. I truly do see myself coming back to this one over and over again.

This is only off of my first listen, so this album has plenty of time to ... read more
