Hope gets caught in my head so easily - especially as it's the last song and goes for so long.

really nice combination of the comforting familiar charm with more explicitly existential musings - and the way each song goes in an unexpected direction without losing coherence or "their" sound. like the last third of Connect is ushered in by what amounts to footwork! and Mary Boone SOTY on God

This album sounds like a mechanized Tame Impala doing Beatles covers.

The first song made it seem like it would be cool but I got bored of the album quickly. Will check it out again at some point. Columbia University stand up

Can we just talk about how good Mary Boone is for the rest of the year and then revisit the other tracks in 2025

^ I always have to preface with “aside from Mary Boone, these are my fav tracks”. That song is just on a whole tier in and of itself

Bro what? Mary Boone is one of the tracks I gave a 2.5 to lol. That’s a highlight for people? Almost every good idea they have on this album they torpedo, it’s so infuriating. They also rip themselves off (noticed a few melodies on here sound straight up lifted from Modern Vampires). Maybe with a better vocalist I’d dig it more, but even then the music isn’t always great, like that weird contrived inclusion of jazz in that one song.

I was not into Pravda at all at first, thought it was really boring tbh, but it grew on me a lot
