Notes:

First listen. Deluxe.
I don't like the end of "Life Of The Party".
I like the sound of "Off The Grid". It sounds a bit like Lil Dicky's work.
"Jail" has a good beat; a bit of a rock sound

Second listen. Deluxe.
Stopped listening after track 26.

Summary:
Overall, the album is long and I can't help but feel an album with a specific theme could be extracted from it. When I first listened to the album, I decided not to rate any songs. And then I casually began a second listen of the album. As a result, the only song that really stuck out to me was "Off the Grid". I interpret this as the album having a cohesive musical sound. Furthermore, I assume what distinguishes the songs from each other is the lyrics, but recently I haven't been in a mood to dive into song lyrics.

Overall Rating: 3.8/5
Favorite Song: "Off the Grid"
