In fairness, I understand the sentiment... if "too chaotic" is a line that's possible for GJ to cross for you, you're gonna find out in the middle section of this lol
my first kneejerk reaction after 1 listen is that beck brought it hard, but i can't help but be annoyed a little by darryl's constant dragging one word on over and over with no real sense of melody. really wish we had some epic stars or john lennon moments of chaos on here.
I’m not in love with the production, and I don’t see that really changing, but I just listened for the 3rd time and I can already feel it starting to grow on me big time. Only song I’m not really into is Closer atm.
My only gripe with the production is it sounds like the guitar is mixed more heavily in the right ear and the bass in the left, I wish it were more balanced
I love that if you are down on the record, you’re a garbage human, dispenser of hot-takes, who can’t even listen to music right. Call it a masterpiece however, you’re true scholar of the ‘core who just fucking Gets It. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm saving my 3rd listen for when I get home from work. The 2nd listen was so much more enjoyable. I picked up on so many little details. Work is too distracting of an environment for these early listens.
can't wait til i can actually blast this later. i'll be jamming it on my drive to band practice tonight.
I can already see it now. February rolls around and I'm already burned out on it. Then I"ll go nine months without listening to it, then do it all over again.
