Agree with Kompys, listened to it again yesterday. First half is easily a 4

Moonraker is one of the best on the album so have to disagree there.

I think it's pretty consistent throughout tbh. This one really required a bunch of listens to open up for me though. It's just so dense and the heavy layering going on can make it hard to get to the core of the thing. The yt versions of a couple of the songs where he partly does a solo version of the songs and then the band kicks in are what did it for me. The songs are mostly really beautiful, especially Moonraker and the last 2

Omg yeah storm the days of lantana vid where he walks down the stairs to where the rest of the band is playing is so sick

I will give Moonraker more chances but it is too slow and I don't get the lyrics but it's still pretty

Yeah, this one goes above and beyond. Can't think of a comparable artist who has deconstructed and reimagined their sound so successfully in recent years

Love also that this probably the third time in his career that he's given absolutely zero fucks about potentially aliening half his returning fanbase
