Could never really decide how I felt about this album, I wanted to like it because I love a couple of tracks, but I completely agree with you here

It gets a little repetitive for me. Some of the songs are really good, but the album is a little too long.

I understand why people keep calling him an under-talented song-writer but I'm glad he doesn't belt out long verses and choruses and stuff. I think his minimalist approach is just perfect.

You probably don't use this site anymore but the albums only about 38 minutes? Grow a pair.

HEY.
It being repetitive doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the album length. When I wrote that comment, I was referring to the sounds and synths he uses, as well as the way many of the songs are structured. This made me get a little bored towards the end of the album.

I've listened to it a lot since then, and I've dug deeper into the layers and the songs themselves, and I don't feel that the album is "too repetitive" anymore, as I've gotten to know the individual songs better.
