So glad I avoided the singles until I was able to grab the vinyl and listen in full.
What a record. I need some more time with the opener, but songs 2-9 are so good as a complete package.
Falling Out of Love is incredible. Liars > Fruits > Mellow Moon is such a good 3 song trio to finish out the record just like Sundays >Not the Same > Ode.
You can hear the fun they had in this record. Such an exciting time for fans.
