An album that struggles to ever re-attain the heights of its beginnings, and settles for mostly nice/okay background music with a few quirks and a nice bassiness without being too memorable for the larger part of the record. It just lacks more vocals, and catchier ones, to make the other tracks really jammy or even memorable. It starts so well though - 1 is a heavily mood setting, Mario Galaxy/colourful cartoon vibes intro that works extremely well with the aesthetic at play here, and 2 is a lovely song that continues it well albeit not as jammily as the iconic 3. Then 4 is okay but I dont dig the dub slow woob woob vibes. Then 5 is okay, but why would I not listen to the original ?Brazilian song that contains the whole essence of the track. Aside from teh midtrack on 8, 9 that is far frmo as good as 3 of course but is the first track in a while that tries to be a proper catchy song, and 11 that also tries a bit on a calmer note, there is not much more to be sais of the rest, besides 10 getting quite weird and not in a good way, and 12 being an ok but way too long album conclusion. 3.4
