    I listened to the entire thing twice (I do that with all albums I don’t hate) and thought it was incredible mediocre. The comments on YouTube make me think people have never heard ambient music before with how much they’re hyping it up.

    I’m happy for Andre that he can just do whatever he wants in life but…yeah. There is nothing about the album that makes me want to relisten. He wrote most of it on the fly while recording. The best parts are the track names

    Fantano was pretty excited for it but still only gave it a 6/10
