Sounds amazing, spacious, defined. And the album? a masterpiece, i love this album to death, makes me cry and laugh at the same time.
markpotato Nov 9, 2016
Not recommended for fans of his wild arrangements or experimentation. Some songs are kind of funny but musically the whole thing kind of blends together in a drawn out jammy classic rock kind of theme.
