I feel bad for how strongly I want to defend this because I’m not in love with it, but the revisionist history on Chance here and what I see on Twitter is wild.
I’m honestly liking this a lot on first listen. Def not as much as CB, BUT Surf was a huge grower for me.
Too long but definitely exceeded the expectations I had for this. Went crazy when I heard Ben Gibbard and even crazier when I hear the GOAT Smino
first half was pretty strong but it's fallen off a bit where I'm up to now. first song I liked from the second half was "5 Year Plan"
Gonna start my first listen in like 20 minutes but this place is by FAR the most positive I've seen the album received honestly so I'm going in with tempered expectations

Same, I remember peak CD-era albums when you were apparently required by law to fill every second of that CD. Now they way Billboard counts streaming brought these albums back, haha.
Interesting to hear that Do You Remember isnt just a Ben Gibbard feature, but all of Death Cab for Cutie.
