there's a weird kind of disappointment when an album comes out and it turns out the singles were definitely the best tracks on it. which is stupid, because the singles here are almost the entire A-side of the album, and it's not like the b-side is bad, it's in fact really good.

Is anyone else getting fatigued by this version of Porter Robinson? I feel like this album still shows growth in his musicianship, like some great tracks in "Knock Yourself Out", "Kitsune Maison Freestyle", and "Easier to Love You", but is too hit or miss for me. It's not a bad album, per se, but is lacking much substance in half of the tracks. I'm definitely left wishing I had more to chew on.
