My one note is that I'd end the album after "Ordinary Heaven" and skip the kind-of-annoying vocoder stuff he's doing on "The Waiter."
hm, as a big bleachers fan i really love the majority of this album and appreciate the slower vibe, however, tracks 7-10 just dont do much for me. the acoustic one is cool, but especially 9 and 10 -- 9 sounds just like if you told ai to write a bleachers song. i feel they don't add anything to the album and just make the second half drag. and for a 14 track album, i feel you could trim 2-4 songs and have a much better record, and that's where i would do it. am i alone in this?
This is great. I discovered Bleachers when Modern Girl came out, so I do wish there was more upbeat horn section songs, but still, this is very vibey and I like it.
This rocked. Pretty much exactly what I was expecting based on the singles. A part of me thinks well it could use a couple more songs in the vein of Modern Girl, but really I'm not sure it does. Realllyyyy curious to hear these live and kicking myself for not getting a ticket to Chicago date sooner. Still can't believe it sold out so fast.
The Kobe line really grabbed my attention. That being said, I enjoy this! Confident it won't be my favorite Bleachers record, but also confident it won't be my least favorite.
After not really enjoying their last album at all, this one is pretty awesome. Listened twice already and loving the vibe.
Pleasantly suprised by this. Only songs that aren’t doing anything for me are Alma Mater (still, sorry) and Woke Up Today. I think this could stand as his best when the dust settles And ending the album with a Women I Belong To callback? C’mon!
Digging this on first listen. Took me a few tracks to settle into its vibe, I didn't spend much time with the singles, but now I'm feeling it. "Call Me After Midnight" is very iliwys-era The 1975 and I'm not mad at it. I can definitely see this as my go-to "I need something to listen to while I'm working" album this spring.
fun that after an album many people hated the production on, he comes back with one of the best sounding things he's ever made! kobe line made me laugh out loud songs are dece - overall I think it has the least number of all time Jack songs of the 4...but on the flipside just about everything here is at least pretty good happy with it overall and looking forward to hearing the bonus tracks
