album so good I had to give it a 7^2

They are just so nice to listen to, I can't even fathom why they resonate with me this well

Honestly, it's a 1.9/10, but I'mma put 1.4 just to be able to meme about 1.43/10

I feel like their music felt fresh and new for me and I loved this band for the first two records precisely because they felt different and gave me something nobody else could. With this record and the previous one they proved me that - they still deliver the same emotions, but they seem to be incapable of growing with me...

you were so mediocre and I'm so glad that it's over now

an album full of farts would be more impactful honestly

I can't wait for the day when this "radio-friendly" songs kink will finally be permanently fade into oblivion.

Honestly, a top 10 record ever for me (my listening experience is not that big though). Perfectly conceptualized, masterfully put to life, soulfully performed. Sufjan is a one of a generation, hell, maybe even one of a kind songwriter.

This is art

I'm sorry but what the actual hell

Idk what happened to his artistry, but after a very fun record that was «Mind Of Mine», he started to pull out of himself the most mediocre music imaginable. Like, you can't hate it, because, generally speaking, it's just... Nice? But I feel like any trace of a soul or any personality have been sucked out of it. All that's left - something that just painfully has nothing to make you interested... Like his vocals here, though.

It is really nice, but feels like such an underwhelming experience after a majestic experience which Future Nostalgia was.

idk what happened but after the 4 album everything she does just tingles something in me lol

My rating is only for the new songs and they honestly BANG

Idc I'm vibing to this until I get tired

she's just something else, I am at a loss of words

While the record itself isn't ideal to me (hence, the 87 I gave it), the live version just speaks volumes about how good of a performer she is, I am honesty blown away by how good she sounds live

Listening just to the first song makes you appreciate the original version of the record 1000 times more, honestly

Upd: I still stand by my first statement, but after giving a listen to this record, I can say there are some really cool things about it, some of the renditions are really good, though, all in all, it still falls really short in comparison to the original This Is Why

The problem with this record is a lack of personality, I don't know, I felt like I just passed through it without even comprehending the experience...

The standouts of the album are songs which were either collabs or written/produced by the featured artists of the record. Daniela's and Ethel's personality and signature sound just outshined the hell out of Ashnikko there and that is her flaw as an artist here, imho.

Dying Star is actually a fantastic song, nevertheless.

so this is where the industry might be heading, huh...
