"For one, this guy totally ripped off Hotel Books vocal delivery, but in a BAD way by rdumping his
adolescent white boy angst into the fold."
I don't understand the point you're trying to make here. Hotel Books is also adolescent white boy
angst in a bad way.

If you want premium Hobo I propose his 'Live From Oak Park' YouTube video series; which cutely chronicles the indisputably better half of this release in all its unfussy flubbing jokey awkward glory. This merely suffices -- puerilely wailing and witty and whiny, grating as fuck eventually if not immediately, this sunk cynic-comic is best in small doses and preferably watched. Stuck on a twin-size mattress and "fucking starving" while he tries to proceed past viral, he's got an ear for pretty piano and a bad case of bacne; the most salacious stuff he'll do to your mom is eat her sandwiches and call her a great woman; his split parents and substance abuse are causes for concern. And tho his desperation can get dour, it can produce humble poignancy: "I'm an artist with a certain special something / And that something makes me really really sad because of nothing."

Love some of the odd/goofy songwriting here. There are lots of great ideas, and this album doesn't feel as all over the place as the next, but there are a few aggravating things here. The multiple intros/talking bits are annoying, but once you get into the song it's not as bad. For me, Hobo Johnson shines in a live setting. His spontaneous and erratic antics seem to serve him better in those circumstances. It has not transferred to the record how he thought. All that aside, still a fun artist to occasionally come back to, but I'd rather watch his videos instead.

Awkward and uninspiring. Trying so hard to be edgy, while taking elements from previous artists that people already are tired of.

I actually truly enjoy many of Hobo Johnsons live performances, but find this recorded music to lose a lot of the charm that he brings. That, mixed with his confused identity as an artist (is he a rapper? an indie sad boy? idk) leaves this record feeling crappy and unprofessional all around, lacking the enjoyability the live performances have.

| 2.5 average | objectivity is not my thing at all | July 11th 18 |
really strong start, though unfortunately it fizzles out. blatant but entertaining songwriting, the vocal delivery and what feels like genuine adlibbing helps with the sincerity of the rather simple lyrics. the first five tracks go from great to good, the rest are relatively forgettable. a lot of potential shining through here, some fulfilled though a lot not
