      Pitchfork is very single and lonely so they didnt understand this album, and sonically...well, wbk they're kinda deaf on purpose

      On metacritic it’s 50/100 and they wrote stuff like „he’s so in love it’s annoying“ like is it so hard to be happy for someone else hahah

      I'm a fan a shawn, but I think the review is fair. The album is style over substance.
