He's just such a safe pair of hands. Immaculate production as per, though his vocal performance is a little much for me at points here, veering too close to franke.27 for my liking (IYKYK). Still a great song.

A cup of warm soup, really quite digestible. All said, it isn't far off Katy Lied, but the front half is just soooooo good. The piano work of Rikki, the nasty riff on Night by Night, the hook on Barrytown, yeesh. There's definitely less than essential stuff on here — who needed Through With Buzz? — but there's enough here to keep me excited about the band.

A bit of a misstep? To pull from Gerard Way, it lacks greatness. Even Bad Sneakers is a bit of a head-scratching single, the melodies just don't come together for me. That said, there's plenty to like — I'm a big fan of every other song, especially Your Gold Teeth II. Love to here these guys take a groove on a walk.

Doesn't quite deliver but still an impressive project. I'm not entirely convinced that Kim has finally found their fire here — obviously this is her best album, but how much is that is just far better production?
