A frustrating album because it delivers its top, most explosive banger right from the start with no time wasted, and then proceeds to never reach that height or energy again. Even the ultra famous classic 5, although a cool song, doesn't top it imo. Tracks like 2,4 and 8 are all less explosive, but very nice and groovy, and would fit perfectly as calmer material between bangers were the album more energetic overall. The guitar intro to 4 is particularly fun. Sadly, 3 and 7 are kinda fine ballads with nice bass that are just out of place and too calm for what this album seems like it sets out to be at the start. 6 is also slower paced but does have some tension and groove to it and feels like it would be a good slower song to dance to. It should have been the calmest song of the album. Sadly, the energy curve is very much a blip at the start and then a couple semi-highs. Still a fun listen. [JBL] 3.65
