A great continuation of an already beloved album, which adds morr layers and relatability with 5 new tracks. The balance between extremely catchy hooks and genuinely candid and well written lyricism is just as I’d expect from CYCLES. Like literally these songs are so easy to get stuck in my head LOL And as always, I’m looking forward to what comes next!

Sorry to the previous latest album, but this takes the cake as my favorite so far lmao

The songs swell like a gust of wind that calms into a soothing breeze, then does it all over again. It gives me a happy feeling that can only be described with the album itself. Simply a fun and joyous listen, the hopefulness perhaps inspired by my newfound motivation to do art once more, a journey of which this album accompanied me ... read more
An enjoyable listen from front to end. A work of art so immersive it becomes an adventurous escape from the outside world. It creates a serene setting the listener can do with what they will—at least I certainly did lol.
Because of my limited musical knowledge, in these works I see mere deviations from each other in concept, not “better” or “worse” albums. While the others took me on a sonically beautiful path influenced by its tone, this project gave me an open ... read more
