The War On Drugs

[Amaro]

I wasn't a fan of most of the released songs besides Strangest Thing, but they work so well in the context of the album. It's very good, probably better than Lost In A Dream IMO in total (although nothing can beat Red Eyes or Under The Pressure for me).

Yes, "Red Eyes" (an absolutely incredible song to ride your bike to), "Under The Pressure"...but also so much "Eyes To The Wind", "In Reverse", and "Disappearing".

I'm surprised "Strangest Thing" was the only new one that hit you. I wish I hadn't played all 5 pre-released songs so much (or that they put that many out!). Naturally I'm going through the the process of "leveling up" the others... It's kept me from feeling like I'm experiencing the album as one. It'll come though.

"Knocked Down" & "Clean Living" were/are my immediate new favorites. :')

I hate to say it, but I hate the album cover. I guess I was ignoring it at first, but it's a really poor choice. -__-
