Sounds like a classic 'written for myself, love me or leave me' statement to me. I don't think he's waiting for a phone call from the Grammy's on this one.
This is pushing away an audience with a 'too real' warts and all portrait. This music could not be used on car adverts. It could not be used as background music in Foot Locker. This music will not be used to open the Super Bowl.

I do feel like I'm judging this too prematurely - gonna delete my rating for now.

So I really like this, aside from the fact that it drags on a bit.
I honestly don't see the problem people are seeing with this to give it a 1, but ok to each their own.

i agree with the kolezek comparison. i don't think he's preaching at least not the majority of the time. the more i listen the more i think its actually sincere, it's forsure not irony.

'Comfy background music'
Hardly any obvious melodies or choruses and impenetrable lyrics. Not even sure what the hooks are meant to be on this thing yet :/

"Oh, I read somewhere
That in twenty years
More or less
This human experiment will reach its violent end
But I look at you
As our second drinks arrive
The piano player's playing "This Must Be the Place"
And it's a miracle to be alive"
These ending lines are amazing haha
Just a complete "whatever, live life"
I will end up 4.5ing this I know it

I do love how divisive this is, I might have to check in.

just listened to it straight through again. i enjoyed it 2nd time around as well. I do hope he got this out of his system with this record and does an album with straighforward good songs like he used too.

Honestly I think the best thing for him after this would be to give up the Father John Misty moniker altogether. While I enjoy it, it's not something that I think can sustain a career indefinitely. Leaving it here leaves a nice trilogy, and I think it's time for him to start another phase of his career, be that just returning to releasing stuff under his own name or creating another character.

I disagree. He's not much of a character. Its pretty much who he is just a little bit exaggerated. It's just a matter of theme. Fear Fun is a great example of how he just wrote good quality songs with a little bit of postmodern bite to them and it worked out great. His 'character',which is a fairly thin one and I'm sure is mostly to distance himself from the singer-songwriter circle he spent a decade struggling in, had very little too do with that particular record and arguable very little to do with Honeybear.
