4.0 excellentBedex | November 24th 20

Very sweet 80s worship album that does not seek to be too explosive, dancey or disco, but rather focuses on synths and building a neon atmosphere. It does have some memorable hooks for sure, but that doesn't feel like the overarching aim of the record. Does a great job of seamlessly integrating the EP songs which do not feel like isolated singles at all. I have to say album construction is a strength on this, it all flows well and the sequencing between calmer and catchier tracks is excellent. My only gripe is the transition on 12 which feels underwhelming after 11. 13 is a very pretty and calmer track that works fine at concluding the album, but I feel like they could have done away with those two tracks - not that the album feels too long though, and the synth outro is great. 1-2 are quite jammy and a good start as 2 feels like a better follow up to 1 than on the EP. 3 is a bit less compelling but flows well and is still fun. 4 is another jam with some great synthwork. 5-6 are more of the same, then 7 breaks a bit of the (mild) monotony a bit with some good catchiness and is a nice track despite a couple weird quirks. 8 is calmer, and like on the EP feels a bit fillerey, whereas 9 continues this calmer side but does it a whole lot better and is a great track. After this calmer phase 10 is more explosive thanks to its intrinsic contrast which is great, and 11 features a more prominent beat and is also one of teh more explosive, jammier tracks. Those last few good successes had bumped it to 3.9, but the last two tracks bring it back down to 3.85
