  I’ve never felt more conflicted about my opinion on an album. On the positive side, the instrumentation at many times was just beautiful. I think it was a really, really artful and masterful mix of genres and it has so many just awe-inspiring moments. Some moments were just right and dripping with emotion like the chorus on the song “The Place Where He Inserted the Blade”. However, on the negative side, there were also many moments on this album where I just cringed. One of the main things that got me was the vocal performance. I can get down with cracking voice every once in a while, especially show emotion, but when you’re doing on every single song it starts to sound fake or like you just can’t sing. Maybe his accent made it more jarring but it just was too much for me. I feel like it really distracted me from the beautiful instrumentation at many points. On top of that, there were a couple lyrical moments that just were so weird and not great in my opinion. “Pick a hair off my sweater and drown in me like boyfriend jeans” just makes no sense to me and really takes away from the song. Also although the instrumentation was mostly beautiful I think in the first half the album it could be a little stale at times and the song “Snow Globes” had some of the ugliest drums I’ve ever heard. Not to say that they weren’t really talented or technically impressive but where they came in on the song just sounded like someone accidentally played two songs at the same time and not like it belonged there at all. The last criticism I’ll say is the placement of a 9 minute song just before a 12 minute song both at the very end. I think that was just a poor decision and they should’ve either dropped one or put one halfway through the album. If your whole album isn’t full of those long songs it’s not a great idea to put two of them back to back especially with that drum part in “Snow Globes” being in one of them. With all that being said I’m giving it a mid score because I really did feel like the bad moments were as cringe worthy as the good moments were beautiful. I really would like to come back to this album or have someone explain to me why it’s so highly rated because I like to understand why people love things and this is definitely a highly rated album from what I’ve seen. Favorite song? The Place Where He Inserted the Blade

  Basketball Shoes is the best closer of the decade so far and i'll take that to the grave. knowing isaac left right after makes it land even harder.
