Having fun with this one. Bronson is a victory lap, let's go knicks.

I don't wanna talk about it.

Enjoyed full-heartedly

While not my favorite RAP Ferreira, it's worthy of meditation. There's something to be said for some of the growth and maturity on this record. There is no pandering here.

Real Jazz is always a standout for me:
"A life is an argument for the meaning of goodness"
and the call and response in vocals about the crick are phenomenal.

Would always recommend in a time of increased alienation to find poetry.

hilarious, funny, and good to listen to. A great backrub in the waiting room.

This record has always been incredibly important to me, rounding into my 31st year, this feels like a prescient time to go back and visit.

Of all the pieces I've combined
Still the cruelest mixture yet
Is the softness of a thawing dawn
And the hardness of regret

The lyrics to end the record are the stage we're on, after so, so many amazing moments. Wild, Wild, Horses, among them:

Motel benches longer than the trees that died for them
At opposing ends, bow your head and ... read more

Serene, beautiful. Something to return to and have it flow over you.

Do you like Bliss? Do you like remembering the joy of those you loved, have lost, but could love again? Do you want an album that brings about reminiscences on the slow qualities of 20th century life. Do you like a bit of classical music from time to time? This is it. The hits.

This album is great, really, I promise. There are moments that lag a bit, but the highs are some of the best electronic pop bangers you can get this year. This is why the score is so high, the album is very suited for playlists and I have a feeling we're going to be remembering every song from 2-6 for a long time.

Mac is at his best in stillness these days. A slow exhale, and a way to find peace, I think he deserves it, (so do you if you want it). Home is a triumph of a song, and I think suits him the best on the record. Everything circles around it. "Memories attached that I'd sooner let go, sooner than I'd go home again."

When punishment subsides, can we find stillness again? Softness in overstimulating times, being bored is different than being still. That's what this left ... read more

This is the best Destroyer record, which in an exemplary catalog of brilliant writing, witticisms, and songcraft is saying something. It's a full dose of clarity, which could be the criticism leveled at Bejar throughout his catalog. He is brilliant, and we want to see through his eyes or at least stand with him watching the horizon, which sometimes is difficult or impossible with some of the other records. Often in later works there is a sense of being underwater in language or in a dense ... read more

Great songs overall, the record does really well, but doesn't reinvent the wheel in the end. But very, very enjoyable all the way through.
