This is a perfect summer album. I'm sad that this came out in the last week of August.
Wow. Album makes so much more sense now. Especially the last 4 songs
It’s like their second album in a row that has an overwhelmingly positive critic reception but I simply cannot comprehend how it’s possible other than payola. Especially in a year like this.
And don’t get me wrong I liked the previous album more than the general audience on AOTY. But this one is pure mid at best
This is different yet somehow the same. I don't get the argument of this not holding up when you strip the BCNR name. It's like Kid A all over again.
There are possibly the best songs the band has ever done on this record. Polarization and being contrarian for the sake of it is killing this website day by day.
This is easily the most accessible LP I've heard from Perfume Genius but it does not necessarily mean that it's a bad thing. The lush production that is his staple at this point is still present on this record but the songs have much more simpler structure that on 'Ugly Season'. Lyrics still hit hard as ever and the songs just reel you in one after another until you are completely lost in the storytelling.
MARK PLEASE MARK WE HAVE TO GO! MAAAARK!!!
This is a significant step up from the previous single. Not yet in "we so back" territory but definitely on the right track.
They just have an amazing ability to bring the most soothing melodies to life
