    not really into this, I'm not often swayed much by lyrics but a lot of the lyrics here kinda stood out as... bad, or generic, un-inventive. Musically the album kinda stays in the same tiny space the whole way through. Also parts of it reminded me of the Chainsmokers album haha

    Had no idea Ryan Tedder has written a song for this but as soon as you said this I knew instantly it was Super Far.
    I like it though.

    Enjoying this for the most part musically, but the lyrics do often stick out in a negative way.

    "I'm hella obsessed with your face" is something that stuck with me after one listen, haha

    But yeah, overall there is a ton of like... middle school love type lyrics

    Yeah, going in I didn't think it'd be a big deal to me since I'm normally fine with pretty weak lyrics as long as I like the music (to a reasonable extent) but many of these lyrics actively took me out of the experience

    you and I, same page here. It takes a lot for lyrics to get in the way most of the time. My issue musically here is that it really feels like "the 1975 ambient" was the only style they tried to emulate
     
  14. Don't think this sounds anything like The 1975 musically.

  15. Lyrics feel very, purposefully, '60s surf pop. And yeah, they're beach corny.

    really enjoying this. Agree w/ @unbornwhiskey that the Tedder track is nottttttttt good and the voicemail trope should probably end for most albums, but I love the vibe they create over the course of the LP's runtime. I feel like 1975 comparisons are kinda just an easy catch all for any music wildly circulated on tumblr by teens that has ambient & electronic influences

    There's some good stuff on here, but man, it's like 4 tracks too long. I feel like it's not varied enough to hold my attention for an hour.

    I love the hella obsessed line haha

    The record has continued to grow on me. Nice music to drone out to when I'm just relaxing on the deck at night

    So I've been going through the bottom half of the Bonnaroo lineup to get myself prepared for this summer, and I came across this band. Holy hell, how have I not heard of these guys until just now? My new obsession.

    I'm a bit late to this album, how do people feel about it still? Personally... I think I'm in love.

    A few great songs, but too many slower tracks for my liking. Not a fan of decent amount of the lyrics either.
