very dreamy and melodic, but I’m not a huge fan of the vocals deep in the back and when they have that operatic falsetto. Some of the production is also a little too bubbly like the chimes and tambourines but that’s just a preference. Overall, I thought it did some unique and interesting things, and I would definitely give it another listen considering how succinct it is.

kind of a standard, very chill r&b cut. His voice has this very rich, wholesome quality to it. I’m not in love with any of the tracks, but there’s some catchy songs and it’s a vibe for some background music to work to.

Entrancing atmosphere and beautiful writing. Wish the vocals were a little further up in the mix especially on the tracks that are a bit less shoegazey. I don’t love the edgier songs as much and find them harder to relate to, but that’s not necessarily a criticism, just a reason why personally I don’t connect to it as much as someone else might.
Songs Added: Pill To Swallow, Naive, I Held You Like Glass, When A Flower Doesn't Grow

Wow. So boring with some actually terrible messages. Like on the song Marinating where he says taking out anger on his woman is just “how it goes.” Like has he not matured from being a stupid teenage boy rambling about pointless, surface-level things? This album is also so horrifically long with a ton of monotonous production and repetitive flows (as always). Very little redeemable on this project. Also who let DaBaby try to sing.
Rating: 1/10
Short, catchy, and punky. I think the vocals can be a little goofy, lyrics too edgy for my liking, and production a bit generic, but it was fun and didn’t over stay its welcome.
Songs Added: I Know Where Mark Chen Lives, Falling Into It
