I must have been in a bad mood this morning as this album did nothing for me. I read this thread at work which encouraged me to give it another go. Sounded glorious on my way home. It feels quite similar in atmosphere to the last Cut Copy album which was really underrated.

i get george michael vibes from it. the first two tracks are the best, i'll persevere with the rest

I can imagine the strobelight intensity here requiring a certain mindset to approach but it is so gloriously blissful, it gets better each time I play it

This is an odd one, all the right sounds in all the right places, straight out of the Tim Sweeney toolbox, but sort of emotionally enervating at the same time. It feels like looking through someone else's holiday photos.
Better songwriting would probably help.

Also I dunno it feels like the kind of record that should have come out in 2013 but now there's been such a glut of stuff in this general vein that it feels both tired and trying too hard at the same time.

Did the people saying they don't like it much like Pala?

Pala had its moments but was mostly pretty dull iirc.

I really liked the debut, wasn't big on Pala, but love this
