I think this just wasn't the right time for me to listen to this - after a long day of work it felt like a bit of a snoozer. There are lots and lots of ideas, sounds and instruments, mostly within psych pop but also with additions such as midwest emoey-type guitar on 7, or flutes that evoke the prog rock giants. It all starts well, with 1 being a nice comeplling yet relaxed album intro. The problem is, this and almost every subsequent track feels like I want it to open up and eventually unfold, whereas the album remains majorly tame for the most part, an impression reinforced by the vocals which I find rarely work. It just feels like there are frustrating amounts of unexplored potential here. While 3 is a bit more involved, by 4 I already felt like this would be too long. Thankfully, some of the tracks do save this from a boring 2.5 tier type rating: 7 and its guitars which woke me up a bit, the second half of 9 with the flutes which is really nice, and the first half of 10 which is also a bit more awake instrumentally making the vox work better in contrast. But you see it rarely lasts for more than half a song before we go back to the sweet, but relatively uncaptivating snooze. 2.85
