Right now Don't Settle is my favorite but this is just magnificent in every way. I can listen to any song and find ways to justify it as the best track on the album.

Also, I made the inevitable bump to a 5 here. This warrants it.

I'm worried because historically I've 5'd one album a year and I'm already there

For me a 5 now basically means it's top 5 of the year lol

Yeah I have the same. I tend to wait a while and see what the lasting effect of an album is before 5'ing. I'm very damn close to 5'ing at least 2 or 3 from this year already though, so my patience is being tested in a big way.

I have three 5s this year so far as well. I'd say I'm strict with me 5s but having so many flawless albums come out in a mere four months doesn't help my case haha.

I don't think anything that came out in 2018 merited a 5 but I had a whole bunch of 4.5s

Last year I had mwY, Ben Howard, and TROW, but I think that was it. For me I guess that's a quiet year.

Made the bump! There are enough moments on this to justify it. I love those albums where you can pick out something entirely new on every listen.

This is one of those rare cases where I feel the excessive length works to its advantage. The album covers so much ground successfully and never retraces its ideas. I can listen to the whole thing and then immediately want to start it over again.

I honestly never noticed the run length until I saw it commented on. With the back half slowing down and becoming more stripped back folk, that’s something noteworthy all on its own.

Yeah it's a very unique structure that it pulls off crazy well, anyone else think "Race to the Bottom" is the best here? His vocals are so menacing on that one

Don't Settle just straight up rips off Imagine (john lennon) in places, doesn't it?

Yeah I heard that immediately lol. Somehow it doesn't damper my enjoyment; I guess it's because the second half of the song is so explosive.
