Lol a 1 is pretty ridiculous but I can say I’m a tad disappointed. I loooove all of the singles though, especially TalkTalk.

talktalk is great. this had like two or three songs i couldn’t get into but otherwise this is great. it’s worse than mer de noms and thirteenth step but i’m not like a massive fan of the band so i’m not particularly disappointed by it

This album will take a bit to grow on you. "So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish" was one song I couldn't get into. "Disillusioned" is another that I'm shaky on. I can agree that some lyrics are forced, however, I don't think that bumps it down to a 3.5. For a concept, the album works well. It's a solid comeback album. I think the album tried a bit hard to be relevant. A Perfect Circle was always a favorite of mine, so it's hard for me to be utterly disappointed by "Elephant." I had no expectations going into the album. I knew it would be different, and after listening to the interviews, knew it would be something more reflective.



The main goal was to convince listeners to be more in touch with reality than themselves, and that's something more complex to tackle than their past albums. The lyrics and music relay that theme well. It discusses the negative social environment, how selfish people are, and why we have become that way. It may have been forced at times, but the songs in particular weren't meant to be subtle. They were grounding the message for other songs to branch off from. The album is far from contrived. This isn't a half-baked agenda pushing trash heap. The album takes time to drag itself down to the listeners level and gradually boost them up to the bands level through each song.

This is levitating between a 3.5 and a 4, but I'm not sure yet. I think it's solid, but nothing to write home about really. Maynard does sound great though, and the experimentation on a few tracks mostly works.

What review rating hasn't this got yet? I might drop a 0.5 on this - it would require really delving into the thing and I dunno, a 0.5 review would make me laugh but what is my life becoming?



If I do a 0.5 it'll prob be track by track to really make friends

This album is at its best when it's at its least experimental tbh. The weirder tracks in the second half are unmemorable and not particularly interesting.

Don’t write a .5 review for the sake of doing it that’s just dumb and a waste of energy.

Hopefully soon cause I’m having withdrawals xD



Seriously who has ever felt good after writing a review that negative it’s just not worth it.

Mongi right now this is my favourite terrible album of the year, I mean we're talking 'Lulu' or 'Art Angels' bad - a mainstream album so bad it makes me laugh, a rare joy, so I would enjoy writing it.



It's more the listening part, I'm not sure I can listen to it seven or eight more times. It could lose the comedy factor and that way madness lies, becomes just a sh't album.



You feel?

The art reminds me of Chuckles & Mr. Squeezy. I kinda hate that I love Feathers but I mean if the whole album had been like that it would be a hit
