first track:
whimsical vibes
cigarette smoke
dark sunglasses
cooking and meal and light dancing
impressive solos, not too obnoxiousness
songs are a little long, feel like they could be split up
however, the lil codas are nice. very full circle
second track:
cozy vibes
nice chill sax solo into piano , i appreciate that no one is overplaying
really nice contrast from first track. eases you into the VIBE
third track:
it’s kinda sexy
sorta giving hold music vibes
a little repetitive
in comparison to the other tracks, doesn’t feel like it’s really going anywhere
cool spotlight for the drums though
kind of wish the drum part was a little more expansive, but it was nice to break apart the track
track four:
i find myself getting a little bored by now, but it’s still a pleasant experience overall
this is nice background music, maybe i’m over thinking it
i like the how the rhythm section is breaking this track up
it’s starting to win my attention back
the piano is waking me up
found myself humming by the end of it
track five:
very playful
everything positive about the other tracks stays true to this one
whole record is very cohesive so far
feels like they’re playing in my kitchen while i do chores
complimentary to the snowy day we are having
this album is so cozy
feels like a warm blanket and a cup of hot chocolate
track six:
the piano is a little disorienting and jumpy, but the track is called everybody’s jumpin
the jumpy parts break up the sections nicely
the sax is very nice
track seven
this is the last song, but doesn’t have closer vibes (yet)
kind of feels like maybe they’re getting ready to pack it in though
still chill
the slow natural fade out (?) is a nice way to finish this album
feels like a credits rolling more than a big explosive ending
this was a pleasant listening experience. very cohesive, players did a lot without doing too much. i would probably return to this. maybe while i’m cooking or something.
7/10
not really a bob fan, but there’s nothing offensive about this record
sort of drags on after a while. very mid tempo
i did enjoy the more ska focused tracks, though there weren’t many.
5/10
I appreciate how dedicated they are to being a two piece. most bands just add bass in the studio, but none to be found here (even if sometime it’s to their deferment)
I like the songs that are a little more pumped up, but even the low-key ones feature some great songwriting. do miss that bass tho :(
7/10
what a pleasant and cozy listening experience :)
8.5/10
solid record
opening is huge, closer is also huge. everything in between pretty consistently rocks hard. ballads aren’t too corny. not CRAZY about the pete led songs, but they’re still pretty decent.
7.5/10
thinking this might not be for me
kind of sounds like i’m in a garage with a bunch of 50 year old dads smoking cigs
played their instruments well though!
4.5/10
the mix of bangers and lax ass cuts on this thing is perfect
snoop sounds cool as hell
loses half a point for performing at the trump inauguration :(
8/10
this made me feel like i was on sesame street
not crazy about the blues tracks, giving white guy plays the blues vibes.
more folk centric stuff was nice, but song writing didn’t feel strong enough to blow me away, with a few exceptions.
his voice is sorta bland.
the blues and god shit really drags it down.
4.5/10
My fav radiohead album
8/10
I love when robert smith gets spooky
might like disintegration more
7.5/10
Hip hop staple. Samples go crazy on this thing.
