I really like the idea of this, a grandiouse dream pop album with a darker edge and neon synth-heavy production and in overall the sound is well executed, with a handful of good songs, but the album in overall is brought down by the loud mixing, which gives a suffocating sound that the album didn't really warrant, taking off the impact of a more airy production would give to these tracks or the songs themselves need a more cathartic delivery to really pull off the louder mixing - still, there are sucesses, the first track "Turn" is a juggernaut of a song, with an amplified and intense dream pop sound pumped up by a brill building-influenced melody and multiple moving parts progressing beautifully into all directions - it's the kind of song that matched its mixing, huge, moving and sprawled - nothing come close to it, even if "Silence" and "I'll Be the Death of You" are still strong follow-ups in the tracklist, but others falls a bit flatter on its premise and the more synthpop sound doesn't really construct an interesting atmosphere to them, making the album a bit tiring and slog-ish. It's not a bad record by any means as it posesses many interesting elements I appreciate, but I didn't feel strongly to it.
