For me, this album is ADTR by the numbers and a return to form. I haven't been this happy with an ADTR record since Common Courtesy. There's a lot of cringey lyrics but they've had those since basically day 1. And then there's Flowers which made me feel something! Like way to go guys, we're back!
Interesting. Just listened to Vol 1 yesterday and thought “damn, this is good. Vol 2 has to be coming soon right?”.
