I think over time this album is getting more love deservedly so, and people are recognizing the gem it is, but when this came out, dare I say a lot of people were likely a little disappointed. Disappointed there was no huge single like an Electric Feel, Time To Pretend, Kids, etc. That‘s not what this is though- it’s more of a concept album, a lush, thrilling, 43 minute soundscape paying no heed to commercial sensibilities. Siberian Breaks on the second half of the album is a masterpiece, a multi act, 12 minute journey- twisting and turning to a satisfying conclusion that shimmers and fades into the next track.

After the weird ass shit that was The Idol I became rightfully scared of The Weeknd and kept my distance lmao But this album? Where do I begin?! This album right here is a MOVIE (quite literally with it's 1 hour and 30 minute runtime) There are no skips? There are no bad songs? I don't know how the hell he did it, but he's magnificiently encapsulated everything that makes his music so compelling, flitting through grappling with trauma, the darkside of fame, heartbreak and his struggles with it all. The Justice, OPN and Mike Dean production just adds to the greatness of this album. I really need to let this one marinate but notable mentions so far include Sao Paulo, Cry for me, Opening Night

by shredddflanders. really cool production - reminded me of underscores, porter robinson, and 100 gecs. insanely cool how the songs flow into one another - especially from "Gross Men" to "Jim Carrey." That was a suuuper cool transition. also "Jim Carrey" probably my fav. very fun! wish the songs were a little longer though, the ideas have lots of potential that in my opinion could have been explored much further for each song. In that sense I feel like the album had the potential to be much more immersive experience. Even though its not a genre a often come back to, it was a fun listening experience! will definitely be looking forward to more by shred.

A fantastic album from a relatively unknown Korean producer that mixes electronic sounds with folk instruments and singing, and one of my top 5 albums of all time 1. "Why" is an energetic way to start off the album and gives you a proper introduction to Mid-Air Thief's sound 2. "These Chains" is my favorite song on the album, mixing calm, beautiful melodies with intense synths and amazing percussion 3. "Gameun Duet" is a fast, catchy song with pop-like sound, lyrics, and progression 4. "Curve and Light" is one of my favorites on this album, having an energetic, overwhelming introduction along with a powerful and emotional second half filled with synths and beautiful singing 5. "Crumbling Together" is the longest song on the album and genuinely feels like a journey with its ups and downs, it's a very fun listen 6. "Protector" is an emotional, powerful song that always gives me goosebumps whenever I listen to it 7. "Dirt" is a quiet, beautiful refrain from the intense sounds of previous songs 8. "No Answer" is a calm and pleasant ending to this wonderful, chaotic album I will never forgive Anthony Fantano for calling this album the "most overrated album of the 2010s" like the songs have a few million streams at most?? "Crumbling" has been one of my favorite albums for years now and I'm hoping to see it get more recognition 10/10

I don’t believe in ranking things- restaurants, albums, books, movies, athletes anything, top x lists whatever. I think it’s a waste of time honestly. Even with a completely objective criterion what’s the point. Would rather listen to and read people just talk about their favorite things and why they are special and meaningful to them- everyone has their own, interesting reasons. And this is a great place to do that!
