It took me a couple of listens to love it, but now I'm super into it! But I'm predisposed to like the Scott Walker/Burt Bacharach/Serge Gainsbourg vibe that it's going for lol

Four Out of Five is probs my fave on the album, but I'm hoping for TBH&C or Science Fiction as the second single

[humbug]

YES science fiction!!

[trekkiepetrelli]

it's stunning ! i had star treatment on repeat for my entire commute to work this morning

it's such a brave transition, considering AM are so well known for their rock-ish stuff

[humbug]

i love the album more with every listen and i am thoroughly enjoying the tears of grown men throwing a fit over it

[megalixer]

lol same on both accounts. SO MANY people are pressed that it's not AM vol. 2 (and that's on top of the handful of stragglers that are still pressed it's not Whatever People Say vol. 6 lol)

[humbug]

lmao the people still hoping for another wpsia... it would be so annoying if alex wrote an album like that at age 32, but that goes to show how little those fans have grown up

[ezzykoenig]

it got ur approval so that's all i need

[megalixer]

haha yes, it's very much a #mood sort of album over a catchy album, but I love the mood that it's serving me.

[trekkiepetrelli]

it's like a kubrick fantasy, with more style and depth to it

When I first listened, I wasn't sure if I was going to get into it but after some more listens, it's really growing on me.

But omg, just that part when he doesn't have the beard in the video, he looks so much younger(/better).

I'm generally anti-beardy Alex, but there's a couple of semi-recentish pics where I don't totally hate it. Maybe he's been laying off the drinking/drugs a tad to prep for the tour lol:

[wellalr1ght]

He looks good here! Maybe his new image needs to grow on me too lol

[littlelistmaker]

...that's a good one???
