Instantly put-off by the album cover. I hate it so much. They call this sophisti-pop, but from a lyrical perspective, it seems intellectually stunted. “Imagine a mirror bigger than the room it was placed in” Ok - it’s a huge mirror that has decimated the walls of the room it was placed in. In its reflection, you not only see yourself, but you see the collapsed and crumbled ruins of the walls that used to make up a room - which no longer exists because a gigantic mirror was placed on it. Additionally, the mirror is now jutting out into the hallway and causing a tripping hazard. You’re gonna have to call facilities and get the hallway cordoned off so no one gets accidentally injured and sues the company you work for - which could cause you to lose your job in a time of unprecedented economic uncertainty. Now what? Oh, you want me to “imagine a rod that cannot hold a fish?” Fucking why? It’s pointless. This is some thought experiment for burnouts where, at the end, you’re going to tell me, “yeah, but, like, imagine if it did exist, maaaaan,” isn’t it? Sorry to the user who submitted this, I realize I’m being an asshole here and I shouldn’t get all snotty about not liking a record. I try to keep it in check, but my genetic make up is faulty.

Nah not for me I'm afraid! Just not my thing twee country ish songs. The synthetic flowers one particularly got to me

Where do you live?

Never been a fan

Suprisingly annoying. it seems like what you'd get if you wanted music with child protective padding on it. It is passionless and everything about it seems soft. Lyrics are uninteresting or awkward (one god), but then you hit Liars' Bar which was the closest i've gotten to fast forwarding a song in the 1,200 albums i've listened to. It is the most irritating gravely voice that comes off as more as a bad faked attempt. It was borderline painful.
