    I like the songs the sequencing just doesn’t flow well and the highs aren’t as high as pretty much any project he’s dropped in the past imo

    agreed

    He made the sequencing like that on purpose, there's an interview where he explains it. I feel you though

    “Making it thump” defines the essence of the album, down to its bare bones. “This one’s like getting into the car with me and giving me the aux,” he says. “It goes to all the places that I would put on my playlist.”

    Also said the same thing here:

    Describing his own record, the 27-year-old mulls over his words before landing on: “It’s like what’s going to happen if you give me the aux. I feel like I wasn’t always being true to that part of myself, but this is how I actually listen to music.”

    Well as he’s said in some of the interviews for this album, the project was his attempt to not be pigeon holed into what he’s become known for

    Old Friend is exactly the same, idk what that person is talking about. Meanwhile Lye has sound clips that aren’t in the streaming version and Earls spoken outro isn’t there.

    My mistake

    Placebo effect

    I 100% thought the vocal take on Old Friend is different from what I've heard past few days
