Starts off kind of awful tbh, but it gets gradually better. I like a lot of the songs individually, but not so much as a cohesive album.

Favorites: Microphone, Long Way From Home, Fever Pitch, Chosen, Badger
Least favorites: Mentors, C'est La Vie, Poet

On Jukebox the Ghost - Phantasmagorical Vol. 1
"Genuinely if this album was cut down to Phantasmagorical, End of the Show, Sea Change, In the Waves, Flash!, Emotional Fraud, Wild Ride, Olivia, Save a Little Room, If You Were A Color, and maybe like Stranger or Truth or smth, it would be a really good album. But it's so long with a lot of mediocre or just kinda alright filler that idk I don't think I can rate it higher sadly. Maybe I'll give it a slight bump."
