How my scores work:
0: Not only does it have no redeeming musical qualities, I think it’s actively harmful.
1–9: There’s absolutely nothing to salvage; the difference between a 9 and a 1 is merely how damaging I find its existence.
10–19: Trash with one or two (depending on how long it is) slightly salvageable songs
20–29: They exist completely outside the spectrum of my passion, whether due to their sound or their cultural reach. I find about 10% of the album ... read more
I just wouldn't really listen to this over any Eliott Smith record at any point, so yeah. Its nice, but too nice. Too comfortable. And I'm all for subtle albums, but I don't see any reason to pick this over something else in the genre, it just gets buried by its own lack of weight.
Yeah Idk what people are hearing to be honest. Granted, i have no idea who these guys are, I just stumbled across this as a highly-rated K-Pop record which is always interesting to see. Nevertheless I don't get much at all from this. HOURS is dope truth be told, and possibility also has its kick, so I enjoyed both of those. Otherwise, positively numb to it. The title track is annoying, I can't see the hype.
Favorite Song: HOURS
Least Favorite: Atmos
Freddie sound so fucking powerful always man. Such a generational performer. With time I come to realize how much his stuff moves me. This EP in particular is a short tease of his style which has yet to feel stale even after all these years. My only real problem is that its merely an appetizer (though a pretty tasty one at that) inside a very stacked catalogue. So even if its plenty enjoyable, I'd just use this as an excuse to go and listen to some other Freddie project.

While staying realatively shy from being bold, its still undoubtedly quirky. I don't now, I think this one might be a grower because its just so pleasant to listen to. Still its nothing crazy I don't think, though I certainly see myself coming back.
Favorite Song: Rewind
Least Favorite: Paris
I don't really like how this album opens up; the first two songs are pretty mild and not what I've come to enjoy about Feis and his reach within the genre. However, the rest of the record picks up a into a, albeit not revolutionary setlist, but a great consice punch of tracks. Even within its relative subtlety, which is fair since this is his debut album, I still see what makes him a standout in the Chilean scene at least in my opinion.
