Notes:
--20191003--
First listen.
I was close to liking "Bring U Down" but I couldn't handle the repetition of "bring you down" in the lyrics.
I was also close to liking "Old Town Road." I don't think it has enough verses.
I listened to "Old Town Road - Remix" again. It doesn't spark anything.
I listened to "Panini" again.

Songs which caught my attention: "Kick It"; "C7osure (You Like)";

Summary:
This album had several tracks which had some appeal, but not enough for me to consider as songs I would frequently listen to. The songs have distinct sounds and there's two interpretations. An optimistic point of view is that the artist wants to keep his creative options open. However, I think traditionally artists can write multiple tracks, group them by sound, and release singles, EPs, and LPs as appropriate. A pessimistic point of view is that the artist doesn't know what he wants and is releasing a mix of sounds for the purpose of seeing what his listeners want. At the end of the day, I don't care either way. The album is what it is and I found it lackluster.

Overall Rating: 2/5
Favorite Song: "C7osure (You Like)"
