I listened to this like 3 times in a row yesterday while doing yardwork and was dancing in front of my house like an idiot. Good thing dancing's not a crime! "One of the Drunks" is starting to grow on me, but on my first listen it totally took me out of the album. Also, I have no idea if he had any involvement in it, but I hear Jack Antonoff influence all over this, especially in some of the vocal melodies.
This album is so much more fulfilling and dense than DoAB and is awesome for the fact that it doesn't lose one ounce of fun/danciness. As others have said, this is my definitive album of the summer so far.
Super into the verses on The Overpass but the chorus is okay. I like a lot of pieces of songs on this but not very many whole products. It is growing though.
One of the Drunks and Old Fashioned are the songs I like the least compared to the rest but they're fine.
I love this album and it's going to be my summer soundtrack. Listened to it 3 times on a 6 hour drive I had the other day. Absolutely in love.
"Get boozy boozy boozy" is a line I'll be embarrassed to sing out loud with friends in a car or in other places, but when I'm all alone or in a mountain then it's the greatest lyrics ever made.
In Roaring 20s when he sings "My tell-tale heart’s a hammer in my chest", it reminds me of "Give us this day our daily dose of faux affliction". Is it just me?
Holy shit this is fun. Feels very JT 20/20 experience. And The Overpass is actually a standout track for me.
Warm? Take: Old Fashioned is the biggest chorus on this. It’s the biggest grower on here for me, I think it makes a great penultimate track
Old Fashioned was the best song on this album like 4 pages ago. Get it together people. But I am coming around *heavily* on Dying in LA. I think it's easily their best closer in the discography.
I can't stop listening to this and dancing around. So good. If this sticks it will definitely be on my end of year list.
Just got finished with this finally, I started it when it first came out and got interrupted and didn't have a chance to go back until now it's fine, nothing really SUPER grabbed me except High Hopes and Dying in LA. High Hopes because that is a fantastic chorus, something I kind of feel like this album is lacking a bit? A lot of the songs have promising starts/verses but the choruses don't live up to them. And then Dying in LA because it's just such a nice change of pace, which I think might be another problem I have with the album. Going for the bombastic is definitely a Panic thing so I can't fault for that but I feel like on this one it sort of makes some of the songs blend together for me. Of course this is after 1 listen so things can change. Nothing I actively disliked on it, just kind of indifferent but willing to give it time.
Roaring 20's, King of the Clouds and Dying in LA are the only ones I don't like. That said this is a fun pop album, but it does lack substance for me.
