This is the first thing I've listened to by him other than ULB and I really like it. "Same Drugs" and "All We Got" especially.
same drugs is definitely the highlight for me but i absolutely love this whole thing. i'm desperate to find someone with a porch so i can take it over and crack a beer and listen to this.
On second lesson, I can't remember what I thought were skippable songs before cause this is all hitting rn
Yea this is fantastic. I don't know if I was just a little tired last night. But this is.....amazing Also in regards to the religious themes/imagery. I attend a non denominational church with my wife. I treat that like this album. The church usually focuses a lot on positivity and putting everything else aside for Christ. They talk a lot about things that every single person can relate to. Regardless of if you are a believer in Christ or not. I think positivity is something anyone can get behind. Like this record.
I think I'm on my third listen but this album just constantly makes me smile so much. I also just really love Future and Young Thug's verses a lot.
The vibe here is much warmer than Acid Rap, definitely in line with Surf in terms of just all positive emotions and feelings, even on the sadder songs
I move into a new place with a roof deck on May 31st and it can't come soon enough for this exact reason haha
I love when artists engage with faith or with religious iconography in a thoughtful or creative way. The Catholic guilt that inform's Craig Finn's writing for example. And Chance is one of the most intriguing on that front by far.
