It's perfect. Also I'm not writing about it

I do not care for lorde and I do not have love for this

Pleasant :) One for the jangle pop enjoyers Rip it Up- Punchy opening! Seems like they're leading with the single. It's kind of cute that this is the one song all the members are listed as writers on A Million Pleading Faces- Wow was not expecting that, immediately checked and the member who wrote this one is from Zimbabwe. Mud in your Eye- I think I prefer the higher energy songs on first listen, but still easy listening. Dreamy Turn Away- I forgot to write one for this Breakfast Time- I like this one on principle. This guy gets it. It's breakfast time Flesh Of my Flesh- s a s s y Louise Louise- didn't do a ton for me Hokoyo- I also forgot to write one for this Tenterhook- started digging it more in the second half as it felt more psychedelic A lot of variety to pack into an album, maybe a little front loaded but overall an enjoyable listen. I like the funky synths and would go back for round 2 with this one at work. You could probably make some comparisons to The Talking Heads, there's a lot of crossover you can enjoy between one and the other. Frankly it's nice to have mellow music. I wish I could have given it 3.5 but I'll settle for 4 for the sake of being contrarian because I see you all TRASHING this for no good reason

I can't say anything people haven't said before because this album is just so beloved, but I have trouble giving it a 5 because there's definitely tracks in between that feel eh to me. I think I actually like Michigan more, both musically and in terms of subject matter.

Well it's not hard to see why this is so beloved, and there's not much else insight I feel I can provide. Great listen and I'm glad to have learned about something new

Son Of A Gun- This is not so bad, maybe it will be like R.E.M I Can't Sleep- Also not awful, but there just isn't any build-up or tension as far as I'm concerned Timeless Melody- John is repeating the end of the verses that rhyme from the kitchen. Running into the same sort of problems I had with the other tracks Liberty Ship- this is the point where it started to sink in There She Goes - This song single-handedly kind of poisoned the album for me going in AND I JUST CANT CONTAYAYAYAIN Doledrum-not the biggest fan Feelin- Sounds a little like the Friends theme Way Out- A little better than the others, I think it has a bit more momentum but still falls flat for me Freedom song- Absolutely not. im in hell Failure - No Looking Glass - imagine all the people, living for today....They are playing the same thing faster now, get me OUT I had to listen twice to do my due diligence before I talked shit about it and honestly ended up disliking it more on the second listen LOL These songs just feel like they go nowhere. They have these classic sort of British with a capital B pop structures and just repeat the same thing over and over at the same tempo and none of it is interesting for me. There isn't really any tension or release. Saying nothing in a nothing tone of voice. Metronome hell. Feels like drinking groundwater.

I kind of wish I could like this as much as I used to, but too much time has passed and I'm just not that person anymore. Still groovy, just not totally my cup of tea nowadays
