Went into this really wanting to love it, yet the music would felt incredibly uninviting until around a third of the way in. The instruments were also varied in terms of how sound quality, with the saxophones and double bass sounding fantastic whilst the flutes sounded tinny and flat.
Highlights: l’été l’été, J’ai 26 ans
Not a single bad song on it, yet it lacks Cave World’s flow. So easy to tell they had fun making this however
100 >>>> 85
Shrunk on me cause I don’t listen to the Monkeys at all now
Way too many interludes which take up far more runtime than they should, but the rest of the songs are great
Undeniably bloated, but the highlights are some of the best things I’ve heard in a long time
This is the first time I’ve ever been scared of an album. Genuinely such a rough but brilliant listen
