Its really fun, the features really carry. Like how are you gonna get fuckin Jessica Pratt, will.i.am, tyler and gorillas on the same album??? Wild. The solo tracks are very trappy and kinda basic.

I believe the tracks work better stabdalone rather than in album form. I liked skipping theough saucerful of secrets and hearing how many different sounds there were, reminded me of boards of canada. I feel like its less commercial compared to their other more popular albums but still them. I enjoy.

I really appreciate the fun that mister Milton is having with the album, its invigorating at times. It so naturally ties in some insane chill almost introspective and almost catatonic at times instrumentals. The man is fucking good with the instruments, no wonder he is a brazilian master. The only downside is that at times the repetition of motifs esp before the end of the album can get a little repetitive and also the amount of medleys make me get lost in the songs which is a little confusing.

"Mommy! Mommy! Look what I can do!" *starts playing organ for 30 mins straight* I enjoyed that the organ (main character btw) was used in different music styles, psychedelic, eerie, blues etc. I disliked how slow and somber it got at times, especially the very "Nico" vibes of some songs. The middle of the album sounds like a drag most of the time because of this. The songs that have more epic undertones and lively instrumentals were the most enjoyable for me. More like Organ Emporium

Its really fun hearing mister casablancas on different beats and styles, he sounds really nice on these instrumentals. I like The Strokes and this is pretty far from that. Sounds like the inside of my brain and i like that. Its so experimental and gritty sometimes that it almost puts you in a trance. It has the same slow burn and weirdness of some really good strokes songs but the funk and disco of something you would get from daft punk. It also presents some post-punk elements that are quite hard-hitting in some songs. But it has some stinkers and boring songs and kinda annoying moments/riffs (curious) Sounds like The Vacations mixed with some old post-punk and Strokes

pare gen ce as face cu prietenii mei™ ca sa ne prostim pe melodii. somehow o iesit si melodii bune din cacatu asta. props pentru uniqueness si idea sa se incerce atatea stiluri muzicale (am apreciat asta chiar daca unele melodii is borderline ascultabile). Just really really fun listen and quite enjoyable.
