Good album to do dishes to. Great album to stare at the ceiling to.

The production on this is so warm it feels like sitting next to a radiator in January.

Not every song lands, but when it does it LANDS. “Tell Me You'll Wait for Me” is the keeper.

I respect it more than I love it. “Tell Me You'll Wait for Me” is undeniable though.
