Yeah I guess it did. I should have had it in my honorable mentions probably but I hadn't listened to it in so long that I kinda just forgot about it. I think the problem was I had heard almost all the new stuff live and in videos months before the album came out, so while I liked it initially, I think I had already kinda grown tired of the songs a little. I still enjoy it, just ended up being a lot of stuff I liked more and came back to more often.
I just listened to a few tracks now and I liked what I heard. It's funny that they had a cover of a song as one of the first tracks I listened to which was from and old 80s BMX movie I used to love called "Rad". Lol
I'm regretting publishing my list last week 'cause I just started listening to Chance and Coloring Book is so, so amazing. The hype is definitely deserved.

Cool to see Enemies up that high. I like the record a lot but am having a hard time placing it on my list due to recency bias/not having as much time to spend with it as other records
One of my favorite parts of this time of year is revisiting a record to figure out where to place it and realizing you WAY underrated how much you like it. Looking at you, Shad...er...Your Boy Tony Braxton
