a really chill album compared to most of their previous work
- takes on some of the chillness of The King of Limbs, but it's much more acoustic
favorite tracks
- while I usually try to rank these tracks by how much I like them (from top to bottom), it's really hard to do it with this album, so just know I like these equally.
- Present Tense
  - this dance, this dance
    is like a weapon, is like a weapon
    of self-defense, of self-defense
    against the present
    the present tense
    
    going crazy, going nuts. a dance of self-defense. against the present... the present tense.
    
    you cannot stop the passage of time, but at least you're here right now. your time will be up one day, so while you're losing your mind... why not freak out a little too?
    
    why not assert dominance by assaulting your friends with uwus and owos when they least expect it?
    
    send (fluffy) Internet hugs while you're at it?
    
    why not wear a horned headband to work for a few weeks; have some fun in your life for once?
    
    (I'm actually doing this btw.)
    
    why not just stop giving a shit about what other people think for a moment. they probably don't give a shit either.
    
    or if they do, tell them what you think. tell them why you're freaking out like that. and be honest :)
- Daydreaming
  - it's so soft it feels like you're floating on the surface of an endless lake, with nothing but clear water, you, and the endless blue sky.
    
    daydreaming, daydreaming, daydreaming...
    
    lost in an endless stream of thoughts
    
    lost on the surface of the lake, looking at the sky
    
    and daydream you will, forever
    
    always
    
    if not right now, a time will come
    
    and by the moment you realize...
    
    the daydream is over, but it'll never be out.
    
    try getting lost in your mind every once in a while.
    
    get your headphones, sit down comfortably, play this song, and close your eyes.
    
    and let yourself drift... across the endless blue lake.
- Ful Stop
  - I don't really have an interpretation of the lyrics, or the composition... but I really love the tension buildup.
    
    I love buildups in general. and this one is balanced very well; it's the kind of rock track I like. full of amplified guitars, but not too loud.
