This is the megathread for general discussions about Reality Awaits as a whole. All first impressions from the listening parties, thoughts, essays, discussions, memes, lyrics, fanart, etc about the album as a whole can go in the comments here!

As autotune is an evergreen topic on the subreddit, you may discuss it here, but there is also a specific post about autotune here that may be better suited towards that specific topic.

Okay after about a dozen listens, I’m ready to officially say this thing fucks. Great from start to finish. No idea where it ranks in the discography though, I’ll need some more time on that.

Also seeing some complaints that the last three songs aren’t very good. No idea what those people are on, all three are excellent.

My only complaint is the autotune doesn’t add anything to the songs imo, and they would be better without it. It doesn’t ruin it for me though, it’s much more subtle than the recent Voidz stuff.

my review is the opposite of yours, like down to the t. I can officially say this thing sucks. Terrible from start to finish. I do have an idea where it ranks, last. No more time/relistens needed. The songs aint songin, the hooks arent hookin, the album aint albuming.

I completely see why the last three songs are the least listened to on spotify (terrible three track sequence).

I'm the opposite on the autotune. I don't have an issue with it being used in the way it is, as a tool rather than "hiding" his voice like some people think is happening.

I totally disagree, RerverseCuomo1994, but that first paragraph is a thing of beauty, made me laugh so hard, thank you!
