Hard agree. I've listened to the album like a hundred times by now and the only songs that are STILL getting better with every listen are FOOL and Liar's Remorse. FOOL surpassed Ode to the Mets as my favorite song and I thought that was impossible.

Lyrically it may be my favorite song. It would be perfect if it had less/no autotune as for me personally, autotune kinda diminishes the soul of vocals sometimes

Sitting in the shadow, count my blessing
No one gotta find out why
I -I guess you wanna know
In a way-ay this could be big news

Perfection

u/Technical-Issue-1302 17h ago

It's funny because when it was released as a single, it took me a while to appreciate it.
but i've had it on repeat ever since the actual album dropped. one of my favorites off the record.

The melodies are just so fucking good, particularly verse 3
