This feels like the album Tamino was born to make. I have no idea how he's going to follow this up, such an immaculate masterpiece. My only gripe with it is that "Dissolve" should've been the final track and "Amsterdam" should've been left on the cutting room floor.
I love Kevin as much as the next guy, and I think he's insanely talented. His songwriting is obviously the highlight of each track - so specific and cinematic. However, I feel like here it's also what somewhat kills the album for me. The songs are ultra specific, which is not a complaint I thought I'd ever make, but some of these experiences are TOO specific that I don't get much out of them.

My main critique is that, while I appreciate and admire the experimentation and the unexpected directions some of the songs go in, I think the album does it too much to the point where the unpredictability loses meaning and breaks the songs. There's a true lack of memorable choruses and verses here because a lot of the album feels like an 'experience' ... read more
Casual, Naked in Manhattan and My Kink is Karma are some of the best songs of the decade and I'll stand by that till the end of time
