Listening while driving is a good call - my best experience with this yet.

p sure like no one else likes the latter midpoint of this thing but it’s my sweet spot on this

its probably because by the time you're past the midpoint you just want it to be over : (

Nah second half is the clear winner here. Ativan and onward, in particular.

Impossible Soul is one of those 25 minute songs that feels like 5 minutes

I just still see this being an absolute mess of an album. I like the opener and that’s about it. And even it goes off into left field the last half. I’ll listen to the first half of the opener from time to time. But god the rest of this is just atrocious and painful

I think that's a bit hyperbolic.

the high-pitched "I wanna love you" on Ursa Major is really annoying

I don't understand what it is he needed to say in 80 minutes than he couldn't in 40.

i was pretty pessimistic after first listen but this actually had some really nice tracks - especially the title track which was a great late-album standout. unfortunately about 1/3 of it is pretty unlistenable, and 'ursa major' in particular is whiny and horrible.

The quality gap between C&L and this is pretty ridiculous. Tracks 3-13 I just cannot get into for the most part. At least the first two tracks, last two tracks, and bonus song My Rajneesh are good. I also quite like the whole instrumental part in Landslide.

^ I was really optimistic on my first listen after the first 2 songs and then everything just took a nosedive for the most part

For an 80 minute album, this doesn't 'drag' anywhere near as much as some have said, or at all. It's incredibly cohesive and it flows really nicely.
