As a Good Kid fan that has listened to their entire discography, it sounds like if Nick was singing at a bar whilst blackout drunk after having an army of skeletons in this closet be exposed for the world to see (which he thankfully does not have but you get my point). It sounds more at home on Lovejoy's Wake Up and It's Over more than anything, which is not the sound that they should be going after.
time to add bbno$ to the list of artists that armchair critics suddenly like now that they're throwing away what made them famous and just making 'introspective' and 'deep' music.
