The album becomes more enjoyable as it goes on. The middle part (tracks 5-9) are the best part Highlights: - Pictures of me - Angeles - Rose Parade

A mix of slow and uptempo songs with some real highlights such as the long instrumental at the end of A Sailor’s Life or the beat of Si tu dois partir Highlights: - Cajun Woman - Percy’s Song - Genesis Hall

A classic rock album that feels like it could be featured in a 90s/00s film Highlights: - Twice As Hard - Jealous Again - Could I’ve Been So Blind

Super autobiographical lyrics that are at times absurd and startling in the best way Highlights: - Ironic - You Oughta Know - Right Through You

Nice chill jazz album Highlights: - Josie - Deacon Blues - Home At Last

A mostly uptempo album that is a very easy listen. The interludes (Band 6 & Zilch) are unique ways of breaking the album up. Highlights: - No Time - I Can’t Get Her Off My Mind - For Pete’s Sake

The synths and percussion give the album a darker feel to it Highlights: - Tinseltown in the Rain - From Rags to Riches - Heatwave

This is one of the most confusing but weirdly interesting as you’re always wondering where it’s going to go next Highlights: - Mercy I Cry City - The Minotaur’s Song - A Very Cellular Song

I fully understand why so many people recommend this album. It’s has joyous and groovy melodies but also some serious lyrics about the problems of the world Highlights: - Sir Duke - Isn’t She Lovely - I Wish
