The album starts off very strong, but slightly loses its focus in the second half. Still a pleasent listen.

I like Perfume Genius and what he brings to the pop world, with great vocals and interesting instrumentation and production, so I was really anticipating this. rMan, I really wish I liked this album a lot more than I did.

A little bit of a step down compared to 'No Shape' but still a few really great tracks here despite the album being somewhat front loaded. The main issue is a lot of the album is on the more timid and quieter side with just a few brighter and uptempo songs to mix up the pacing. 'Describe', 'Without You', 'Jason' and 'On the Floor' are all really great PG songs but after that it fizzes out a little bit. Like a 3.75 but not quite a 4 album. The other issue is 'No Shape' had a few songs that felt like hits and were endlessly catchy, 'On the Floor' feels like the main example of that here despite all of the album being really solid musically and vocally.

Art pop/chamber pop that can first and foremost be described as "beautiful". Lush textures, pristine production and arrangements, as well as Hadreas' soft voice, everything makes for a record using slight psychedelic features - the way the guitars play their riff in "Describe" - to display its ethereal nature. Despite the few tracks relying on 80s-beats, it's thus mostly a melancholic album. As such, an album that displays lonely and atmospheric features such as this one fears nothing but one great enemy: grabbing the listener and making them embark on a personal journey. It mostly doesn't succeed at doing so, but when it does, well it's just plainly beautiful.

With his writing still on point, the production and arrangement still enigmatic and explosive, I could only fault the album in being too long for its own good and even up its own ___ with extravagance it presents.
