I think it's more of a 'dartboard blindfolded' situation

yeah it's a livestream of this album I think



will be cool to hear these songs de-Dessnered, although the vinyl mix is doing a fair bit of heavy lifting in terms of making me enjoy this more

"What are you noticing in the vinyl mix?"



it's a lot richer and fuller-sounding. a lot of the tracks feel like they have a bit more depth and lose that awful, flat, chintsy GarageBand-ass-electronics mix the Spotify version has. makes the good songs even better and the bad songs are at least slightly more interesting



on top of that the extended outro on Crowhurst and the two bonus tracks that aren't useless edits of two songs on the album are a big plus, too. digital version of this album is an airball but the vinyl has some good stuff about it basically

Quite like a few songs on this, but I don't think its anywhere near the quality of Noonday Dream, especially Nica Libres at Dusk.

Wish they did not really go for this mellower mood, especially drums are dumbed down to nothingness, and some of the drumming on the previous disc was top notch



Also too many songs, as a personal preference - not like the disc has that much variety. . . it didn´t need so many tracks.



But I really dig some tracks, so if I had to rate, I´d go with a 3.2.

I agree with that, it's right between a 3 and 3.5 for me and idk why way to lean on it.

Alright I'll admit this has grown on me. Definitely my least favorite Ben album by a large margin, but its still rather excellent.

I kinda wish I didn't read the Finders Keepers backstory; it's way trippier and cooler without knowing

Gotta say I'm still coming back to this and finding it more enjoyable with every spin. Really nice, chill atmosphere.
