like Charli, somebody needs to tell Matt Healy the truth when they're being overindulgent. NOACF has some good songs that are buried by average, dragging tracks. Same with how i'm feeling now.

this, 100%

i'm overwhelmed just looking at the tracklist. i'll keep an eye out for what tracks people name as highlights lol.

[lawofcosines]

like i don't care how long is the tracklist if it makes sense and it's justified if taken as a whole, but eh. this is one of the worst excesses of prog rock where it's bloated and meandering.

my fave tracks tho: people, jesus christ 2005, if you're too shy, me and you together song. basically the singles lol

[mayjailer]

i agree w you re: lengthy albums, but this just seems... excessive. i'll give those a listen lol thanks!

Seconding "If You're Too Shy" and "Jesus Christ 2005" (though the latter is mainly because of the gorgeous Phoebe Bridgers feature). Both "Me and You Together Song" and "The Birthday Party" have grown on me since their releases as well.

Agreed
The good is really good but like this shit didn’t need to be 22 songs
Im gonna make a playlist with my favs

Who's the player in your icon so hypnotizing

Right? Stop inflating Matty Healy's ego, it does not need it! There isn't a track that I dislike, necessarily, but there are quite a few that I think, "That's nice. I have no desire to listen to it again, but it's nice."
