nah, a lot of the most meaningful growers are albums that turn you tf off them at first
this is genuinely mostly insufferable though, it turns out. benchmark 2/5

Yeah the reception for this is wild. It doesn’t even take any risks, it’s just so middle of the road.



I like this rym review: “Adam Levine if he moved to a tropical island and tried to sing in a slightly more normal voice and also decided to sample Bach's Well Tempered Clavier on every single song for some reason”

I'll admit I didn't really go into this open minded, I really hated father of the bride and Oxford Comma, but good lord is that guitar on Classical irritating. Horrid tone

"Yeah the reception for this is wild. It doesn’t even take any risks, it’s just so middle of the road." (2)

especially confused by this...

"I think in the context of indie-pop/rock this is very fairly ambitious. I'm trying to think of a similar band that would try to write 'Connect'."

really? Hmm. Admittedly, I have no idea what "very fairly" means, but maybe it's just me being an oxymoron here

"Catastrophe Waitress is their best album tho"

Certainly it was a great tonic after Fold Your Arms Child... and it kick-started the second phase of their career with a more expansive sound, but no - definitely not their best.

smart gambit putting the best and (probably) most glaringly awful songs on the album on par with one another, but i ain't buying it!

Nah... Classical is great - you're ears need servicing. And yes Piazza is pretty perfect.
