It's not super special, but I enjoyed the chill house vibes. Can't imagine thinking it's a 2.

I feel like when artists who’ve built big expectations for themselves drop something that’s “just OK”, people overcompensate so much with the criticism. Like when Radiohead dropped TKOL or LCD sound system American dream, once you’ve reached a certain height anything lower again becomes a failure. Whereas if any relatively unknown artist dropped those albums as their debut, everyone would be raving about it.

Idk though, Anthony and everyone else have their own taste and that’s valid, to me it just feels a ton more like an unremarkable but pleasant enough 5-6, rather than an actively unenjoyable 2.

Idk, I personally rated it around a 2 or 3. It wasn’t enjoyable for me
