A long album with long song titles. This is another that I can understand why people like it. The instrumentation is deep, varied and there are nice melodies. BUT, too much of it is too...ahh...happy sounding, for want of a better description. It's a similar problem I have with some of Jon Bellion's music. It sounds like some Disney BS. I feel too, being used to R&B, where the singing is often amazing, that the vocals aren't great. It's one I'm torn on. I don't think it's crap, like some other highly rated music on this site, but it isn't for me. 'The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us!' is my pick.
