Love love love.
I know people are saying that this is too new to be included, but sometimes you can tell that an album is going to be a classic.
And to those that say that there is nothing original here, you need to have a good long look at the world and try to find ANYTHING original….and good. And while you’re at it stop being a d**k.
This album stands out, it has the X Factor, like Taylor Swift. Can’t put your finger on it but there’s just something about it.
