23rd Monster also sounds fixed. The one on Spotify sounded so jarring in terms of volume after DaD and NYU and it has become a lot more crisp. The opening of the album is so damn strong. I think I would have appreciated Nonfiction and Summer again as part of this album, since they didnt leave a very strong impression as singles for me.

ray of truth is BEAUTIFUL!!! I would listen to it more for sure and thats rare for an interlude.

Remember you's opening is soooo oldschool I love it. I love how in the second chorus, her vocals get subtly stronger and more forceful without going overboard. Classic Tetsuya Yukumi ballad with no bridge. I did wish for a modulation but he doesn't do that either. Really reminds me of a stronger Shape of Love haha.

taskinson is a boppppppp...which I think should have transitioned into Summer again and not MASK LMAO

VIBEES is definitely a concert staple! Its so different from what she has done I love it~ The energy is gonna be amazing live. The ending was a nice twist in melody!

Overall I listened to the whole album thoroughly, and its a very coherent piece it took a long time but I'm so happy it gelled all together so nicely
