I'm surprised at the lower ratings compared to his other albums. Personally I think this is Mac's best album yet. The vibe is as chill as ever, there's some wonderful production and smaller sonic touches, and the songwriting is more emotionally substantial than on his past efforts. Well done, Mac.

I think that this album has some of the best songs that Mac Demarco has put out. And these songs manage to escape the rtypical 'Mac Demarco' sound. While he should be commended, the album kind of lags at times, which prevents this from rbeing higher than a 4.

Mac at his most laid-back and introspective. "This Old Dog" is almost too chill, with everything
sort of melding together in a hazy, tranquil blur. Playing like a natural progression from 2015's
mini-LP "Another One", the album makes for an easy, relaxing listen, if somewhat unvaried.
I'll probably find myself passing out in the sun listening to this more than a few times this
summer.

this is his best since 2, its sooo fuckin chill, lots of really great sounding synths listening to this is ralmost therapeautic, there's some seriously catchy melodies on this that a disney movie would be rproud of and the production will stone you. Anyone else get a cult-training-video vibe from this?

I revisited this album, and ho man i dont understand how i had put a 2,5/5, the guitar riff are superb and even if the lyrics is okay, the feel of the album is really enjoyable 7-8/10

The first record I ever bought. This album is the soundtrack to my life at 17. Even though Mac's previous efforts were more fun instrumentally, this album really lets the lyrics take charge. This is Mac's most mature output, and even though Here comes the cowboy wasn't terrible, I hope he goes back to this direction. I have really enjoyed witnessing his progression. Easily one of the most important artists of the 2010's, and definitely one of my favorites.

In one ear and out the other. His music has always done nothing for me.

His most sedate record to date, this is a very beautiful and relaxing collection of more acoustic-based tracks compared to previous recordings

Great, laid back album, with Mac's best song, Moonlight on the River.

| 4.0 excellent | You should pay me to tell you what to listen to, really | May 5th 17 |
Mac might not have diverged too much from his stablished sound so far, but this choice has given him the chance to tweak it, to try new ideas that could fit the mold better, to perfect it and distill it to a point of instant recogniton and maximized efficiency. Might not be as 'fresh' as some might want from him, but damn son... It's some great shit! a great example of complete control over one's own craft. Let's see where he goes from here.

Feels too easy, and my early rating is more than likely, overzealous. But, this is more-or-less the Mac Demarco most of us have been waiting for. A very spacious, sad, spooky, warming, confusing, et al *most descriptors here* experience. An experience from a surface level *perhaps* snoozer of a musician. Calming slacker, island music still serves as the observing from too far away genre of what lead's the majority of Mac's tunes. There's an easy simplicity, still at play here - less frequently - that drives Mac's music at an ear glance. But, just like his previous works surprisingly demanded, "This Old Dog" begs of your time before writing it off as "boring" or "beach music". These lazy, recently created genre tags, only dissuade what your ears came here for: Mac makin' ya cry.

Not as impressive as the last two LPs or "Another One," but still solid overall.
