Sorry nerds, this album ****s hard. The production is amazing, the songcraft flawless, the hooks infinitely memorable. This album is like one giant slice of 70s cheese in all the best ways, and the songs, though I haven’t listened to them in god knows how long, were all instantly recalled into my brain as soon as the opening notes hit. This is, while maybe not going out on any flimsy limbs, a strong record from musicians who happily noodled on their instruments and smiled while they sang. I can’t help but love that.
I give this joyful shmaltz 8/10.
