If this was the Mona Lisa, I'd get thrown out of the Louvre.

Pros: I feel like a boss ass queer when I listen to this and I wanna get fuckin DOWN.
Cons: it's a bit too long and some of it screams too much 80s mixing
Fav Songs: Big Love, Everywhere, Isn't It Midnight, Isn't It MIDNIGHT, ISN'T IT MIDNIGHTTTTT

I think I'm too sad rn to review this
Fav Songs: Ripples, Fairy Song, Pictures of Us, You're Here That's the Thing

Did I sell my soul to the devil?
Fav Songs: Any Way You Want Me, Big Pussy, The Family, Brockhampton
Wherever this sends me, it's far. Side note, the first 5 songs of this album are perfect 10s, then it drops to like a 7, maybe it's just me.
Fav Songs: Used to Be, Silver Soul
the perfect example of cover art exemplifying the music to the utmost degree.
Fav Songs: Heart of Chambers, D.A.R.L.I.N.G.
If I wanted to feel like I was a small amish village out in Nepal this would be the album
