I think that's the first time I've seen FF criticized for not having enough bite 🤔

This album sadly continues to leave me underwhelmed, even more so now than when it came out.

It's actually exceeding my long term expectations. I thought with how pop-oriented the melodies are and with how sleek the production is that it would start strong and fade quickly, but I find myself continuing to come back to about half of the tracks here.

Can we please stop calling these melodies “pop-oriented”? Because they really aren’t. I mean some of these songs adhere slightly more to pop structures than the last couple FF albums but I don’t think the melodies themselves read as truly poppy (or at least not much more so than those albums’ did too). Certainly not in the same way as some of their earliest stuff like the s/t EP did.

People have to call everything that isn't avant-jazz here pop

The song structures here lean more toward traditional pop music and rock than their previous two full-lengths, but the actual melodies aren't and sound more unique and off kilter than pop usually does to me.

I still cannot get over Going-to-the-Sun Road, that song is so hauntingly beautiful. May be my favorite ever by them.

This is such a summery trip-to-the-river kind of disc that's completely unsuited to my current sad state in complete lockdown, and my imagination really doesn't want to convey it. it sounds nice, but it also sounds like I'd expect a fleet foxes disc to sound, and maybe at the fourth disc I'm kinda saturated

yea going-to-the-sun road is a gem. this is kinda whatever overall tho. very breezy

Breezy is a spot-on adjective. It definitely doesn't have the staying power of HB or C-U, but if you're looking for lighthearted folk or mood music for anything picturesque (like driving through the countryside or mountains, which I can attest to), then this is a slam-dunk. It's also ridiculously accessible. There's no time or place where I don't want to listen to this.

I don’t think they’ll ever touch HB, imo that’s a top 10 album ever made, but this is still a triumph in its own way

I was not in the right headspace for this album when it dropped but I'm listening through it now and _wow_. This is ridiculously lush and textured, somehow keeping me from losing interest with all the relatively simple melodies. Quiet Air and Going-to-the-Sun Road are a beautiful 1-2 punch

Yeah this is one of those albums that doesn't *impress* me but it's such a smooth and enjoyable listen that it just plays on repeat

How do you go from Crack Up to something so...boring! So terribly underwhelming.
