Okay, my scoring and reasoning as to why I love this little EP as much as I do is entirely personal, and I won't lie about that. I grew up not watching a whole lot of cable, but I was always obsessed with Cartoon Network when I did watch TV. And the one show that I ended up taking quite a liking to was Steven Universe. I loved the world, the themes, the characters, and the music. Especially the music. I felt like it was one of the first cartoons on CN to have been a major focus of the show, and ... read more

My feelings aren't strong on this project, because it doesn't give me enough to care about it that strongly. It's not bad necessarily, I can see the vision. But it's so low-key that I'm in this sort of limbo until the album is over.
Some tracks may meander a bit, but I love the overall vibe. I’m all for this new sound of pop that’s a bit more electronically influenced, or something akin to being more “online.” I feel like Pinkpantheress is somebody who’s gonna usher in a new sound and I’m a fan of it. The dream collab would probably be with NewJeans. A lot of the tracks here kind of reminded me of the production they are doing right now, and I think that would be a match made in heaven. ... read more
I went in thinking that nothing could top Heaven or Las Vegas, but damn does this come so close for me! Treasure is a lot more gothic and icy compared to later Cocteau Twins stuff, but that just adds to the ethereal and surreal nature of their music. Again, just like my thoughts on Heaven or Las Vegas, I would feel like the coolest motherfucker if I was into Cocteau Twins in the 80;s and 90's. The only thing that holds this project back when compared to my favorite CT album is that the melodies ... read more
Honestly, this was a super passive listen, I was playing American Truck Simulator while listening to this. I have no clue who The Mountain Goats are, I know their most popular album The Sunset Tree, but that's it. This to me is like listening to a local band as they play in like some random restaurant you're eating at, and it's honestly super chill and fun. This is a great driving album, just driving on the freeway and trying to have a fun time.

I listened to this before going to bed so I'll give my thoughts now. I think as an overall project, Illinois is a vast improvement to Michigan, in terms of songwriting, flow, song structure, vocals, pretty much everything. The biggest thing that sets Illinois apart from Michigan is that it is focused on its concept and keeps an extremely consistent tone and atmosphere throughout a pretty long runtime. Unlike Michigan, its more theater-esque, instrumental-focused tracks are either short and to ... read more

Hey there papijohn! I wanted to redo my review of an album that means a lot to me. It truly made my output on music different and caused me to look at things in a different light. It’s helped me through some really tough times, and it's very dear to me. It would make my day if you could give it a look!

Thank you so much for your compliment! It was very cathartic to put it all down on my Vespertine review, so it's nice to see someone like it!
