I don't really like when people reference other writers in their reviews (for example Ian Cohen here), but I can't really explain why. Just an annoying tic. I feel like it should 'informed' by other people's opinion but never overtly so. Like it should just be the listener/reviewer explaining what what he/she hears, in the purest sense. Create an illusion of sole opinion. I dunno; this probably sounds really pretentious.

Two Men Down is seriously the weirdest song that has graced my ears in a long time its so .. paradoxical..

There's a couple of tracks on this that are literally just piano and vocal and kind of break up the flow of the other tracks in my opinion but other than that one complaint this is an incredibly solid 17 tracks of music. An easy 4.5 and will be challenging for AOTY.
I've had about eight full listens now and it gets better each time.

I find the first half more than a little dull, lots of vocal repetitions and tracks that feel redundant. I don't think it needs to be 70 minutes. 40-50 and this would be a dead cert.

I would be happy to cut forever, waves know shores and meet you in the maze tbf.
I'm ok with repetition in this kinda music and besides I think James just really wants you to know he's recently moved house.

I could jam Noise Above Our Heads forever, it's so juicy. The vocals and bass together are phenomenal.

I really love Noise Above Our Heads too, the vocal samples and placement of the claps are so good.
That one line 'I deserve someone better than someone like me' is off putting though.

Had not been for the length of this album could've been a 5.

The middle stretch is kind of dull at times and a song like forever seems to really disrupt the flow but the second half really makes up for it. If he cut out some the excess, it would have been near perfect.
Also, I wonder what happened to that 20 minute track he was on about before the release of this.

"Modern Soul" was such a strange pre-release compared to "Retrograde" before Overgrown. Retrograde had such an immediate feel to it ("suddenly I'm hit"), whereas "Modern Soul" kinda was just mm yeah I'll bob my head a little.
But in the context of this sprawling album it makes complete sense and sounds gorgeous. He's become less hook conscious and more bigger picture focused.

If an 80 minute album has easily a full length's material of 5 worthy material in it, can you justify 5ing it

I'd actually really love to know how he composes his songs actually like
does he just sit there thinking bout things to he gets a line in his head and then he just sings it different ways or
does he just tinker on logic or whatever he uses till he finds a decent sound and then adds his lyics
I dunno I just have this vision of Blake just sitting there all hunch backed looking glum and saying maybe I'll write a song about it and next minute 5/5 opus

He tries to remember what they taught him at whatever shite talent school he was shat out from

His process does seem really chopped and screwed. Id imagine its pretty much on a song to song basis
Id love to meet him
