Initial thoughts:

Very very impressed. I do have to say, besides the intro and outro, the solo tracks are the weakest tracks by a country mile. Not necessarily cuz of Thought, I actually think the solo tracks have the worst beats tbh. Really not vibing with Close To Famous or the title track, maybe they’ll grow on me.

The intro track is absolutely stunning though. Excluding that, my favourites are probably Saltwater and The Darkest Part.

The mixing is very off-kilter, but it doesn’t bother me too much. The only time it does is on the DOOM track, feel like the lo-fi mix on there makes it just sound poor quality rather than add to the aesthetic (like it does on other tracks).

This is a weird complaint, but it almost feels like the true ending to the album is missing. As good as it is, I feel like Violas and Lupitas sounds more like a penultimate track rather than a fitting closer, especially with Saltwater coming before it. I think Aquamarine would’ve been an amazing outro.

Probably like a 7/10 for me at the moment, definitely a grower though. Also DOOM has the best feature to no one’s shock.
