only a few songs into this so hopefully i dont eat my words in a little bit but so far this feels a good bit more ambitious than eternal blue did

Oh yeah it's def more ambitious for sure



They take way more risks, some of them really pay off but some don't imo, but thats the nature of experimenting

this IS more ambitious than EB but it's not as consistent.



Also do not talk shit about Perfect Soul. I'm going to throw these hands

It is true that they've written songs like that before, but it's so good it doesn't matter.



Jaded was also not the most original song in the world, but that was like the most replayable track of last year for me

Lucca and Art sharing my takes so just [3] everything they said.



Crystal roses is an atrocity and Perfect Soul is phenomenal that’s the sound they do best In my opinion

and thats fair enough. me personally though i just kinda felt like i was jamming a blessed be rewrite. everything else has had my head bopping though. keep sweet and soft spine own, and tsunami sea does the pop style really nicely too so i still fw those types of songs of theirs when they dont feel like direct tweaks of other songs of theirs



if perfect soul is my only vague ehh song in the first half this is already def more consistent than eb for me where track 2 is fucking hurt you lmao

Perfect Soul is beautiful and Jaded was SUCH a moment. When that dropped I must have listened to that like 100 times in one week. They were on fire

The only valid criticism of Perfect Soul imo is it kind of IS just a Blessed Be rewrite minus the breakdown.



But I don't care. It's so good

i mean it was a smart single in that respect, they know what sells



i also do like the song. i just think its a bit of a headscratching definitive highlight here amongst the treasure trove of riches that is everything else so far

Haven, Perfect Soul, Spine and No Love are the only tracks that still TRULY hit for me. The rest I'm mostly ambivalent on

in retrospect it does make me chuckle that that song leaked a little early and the band was upset about that cause the song fucking sucks lol
