I respect the hell out of Chloe but maaaaan that album is not for me. This is FJM in his element - sounds like a mix of everything that came before with some really great melodies
A couple of Chloe moments on here too, so it basically incorporates sounds from the last three record and ventures into new territory with stuff like "Screamland." Wild
Cuts I would make from Chloe would be "(Everything But) Her Love," "Only a Fool," and "Q4." Make it eight tracks like this record.
New album is absolutely breathtaking. Just off the first listen it's easily a contender for his best record. And the new song he's been opening with live, "God's Trash" (also teased on his IG) isn't even on here. Keep 'em coming, Tillman.
Yeah this blew me away. I heard strings like never before haha the compositions and all the instrumentation on this are so great.
Lenderman's himbo line is still best of the year, but I didn't even realize FJM also has a himbo line on "I Guess Time Just Makes Fools of Us All" lmao
The only thing this album seems to lack is cohesiveness, but it also plays like a greatest hits collection of songs we haven't heard before, so I really can't be mad about that. "Mental Health" is the only one I'm not crazy on yet. "Being You" is about to be an all-timer
Finally listened to Screamland. Incredible. Like a progression from Pure Comedy (which is great, I think we need to acknowledge that if the lyrics are on the nose that was the whole point!).
