Athens France is basically just Nosferatu Man which is I think where the comparison came from initially, but there are a lot of other things in the mix lol

Not sure what's up with all the low scores here because for me this is undoubtedly AOTY so far (I usually start low and work my way up so it's a 4 right now but close to 4.5). However, the reworked version of Sunglasses is a disappointment and I think the album would have been so much better if the single version was included instead. It's not the lyrical changes that annoy me but the vocal delivery, it loses all the intensity of the original.

Somebody play that opener to Typhoon, so they know how it's done.

it isn't bad by any stretch, but there's some real magic on the single version

I just listened to the single version and geez the vocals are so much more intense. The album version sounds like some live Jimmy Kimmel performance by comparison

Especially that little freakout bit in the single version ("I'm so ignorant now with all that I've learnt"), the album version is so tame by comparison there. I think that's where the single version is noticeably way better
