This album really sounds like nothing else- it's beautiful and catchy while still remaining stylistically unique and weird at times. Empire Ants is one of the best songs I've ever heard. No skips.
Fantastic production, catchy beats, pretty vocals, addictive hooks, and a mindset and message. You would never guess this album came to fruition in a matter of only a few months, and is easily one of the best hyper pop albums I've ever heard.
This album became the soundtrack the end of my sophomore year in high school- and over half a decade later it still sounds just as fresh. Production is fantastic front-to-back, the synths littering the track list are ear candy and so much more, and Tyler is at what was at the time his most vulnerable. There isn't a single underwhelming track to be found.
I'm really annoyed that I didn't do myself the service of listening to this album when it came out. But better late than never- because it's been a long time since I could say this was genuinely unlike anything I've ever heard. It's futuristic, it's vintage, it's lush, it's everything positive you could think.
