Pros:
A masterclass in genre bending, fusing funk, soul, gospel, R&B and more into a wild ride of an album
Some wonderful grooves and melodies throughout, especially given the prominent bass parts and impassioned lead vocals
Use of timbre is magnificent, pulling from retro synths, ambient woodwinds, funky guitars and so much more
Cons:
Somewhat structurally questionable, sometimes switching moods and genres completely mid-track with little connective tissue to keep the listener invested
Drives some of its simpler melodic ideas into the ground with overrepetition
One or two tracks are simply too overburneded with effects and sounds to breath comfortably
Best: Terrified
Worst: California
8/10 Beautiful and bizarre
