smoore95GAGA Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 I wish people would judge this as its own thing and stop comparing it to Touch. Obviously Touch is better, but let’s be real, this is still a great album. The girls just don’t miss! Idk why I’m not seeing any praise for LYTW, it’s easily the best song on the album imo. That, Open to Something, and Sunchoke are my trinity.
smoore95GAGA Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 I’m also still in disbelief everyday that we got any new material from them after Insomniatic. I truly thought their music career was over, so honestly getting anything from them is a treat for me
Catch22 Posted March 15, 2023 Posted March 15, 2023 6 Months of Staring Into the Sun is a career highlight. Obviously a great album, Open to Something and That Something Is You, Sunchoke & 6 Months of Staring Into the Sun are in my trinity right now.
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted March 15, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted March 15, 2023 Personally, it's way too early for me to compare it to A Touch of the Beat or any of their other releases. Really enjoying getting to know this record so far! Listening top to bottom on repeat Also, slay at them placing in the top ten on US iTunes (I know it doesn't mean much, but still very happy for 'em!)
pinkbowvintage Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 This is definitely a grower that requires a chill mood and good headphones to get into. Blue Dress is even better than the live version. After Hours is a bop. I need some time with this one as it's not grabbing me immediately like a lot of their previous EPs and albums but it is beautiful.
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted March 16, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted March 16, 2023 So, I really like all three pre-release, immediately fell in love with Blue Dress, Way of Nature and Open to Something and genuinely enjoyed the rest. But now, after like ten or so listens, Love You This Way, Sunchoke, and Talking in My Sleep have all moved up. I do like 6 Months and Tear the Night Up but I think I'll need some more time before they fully click (which I feel like they will)
Arknex Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Way of Nature Way of Grace is my favorite from the first listen
Kirby Kirbs Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Kinda obsessed with the album. Their description of it being night time comparing to ATOTB’s day time makes sense. Listening to it + Miley’s ESV back to back to get into summer mood even tho it’s mid March
Dear Reader Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 16 hours ago, DancingShoes said: This is such a summer album and I hate that it's so cold right now. I think it's a more mellow reflection of ATOTB. It's almost a nighttime version of that album. I do wonder if the sequencing of the album would help with people's initial reception of it though. All of the ~boppier~ tunes are shoved in near the end. However, their voices are beautiful across the album though they do drown a bit in AH and BLYHD. Sunchoke is a highlight and I think it could be a grower album. mte!! i’ve said it before but I feel like i’ll play this heavily on summer late afternoons
Rigalo Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 I like this way more than I thought I was going to actually! Talking in my Sleep is
halcyonday Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 (edited) it's of course not as good as their last album (that is like the best album of all time), but it's still a skipless masterpiece and they ATE :CLAP3: Edited March 16, 2023 by halcyonday
Wrecked Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 My current top 5: 1. Sunchoke 2. 6 Months of Staring Into the Sun 3. Love You This Way 4. With Love From 5. Baby Lay Your Head Down But, the entire album is a slay. Argue with the wall!
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted March 16, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted March 16, 2023 I just keep enjoying this more and more with every listen!
getfree2017 Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Holy crap, this album is amazing. So intricate and nuanced. Of course most people are caring for Touch more…
computer.boy Posted March 16, 2023 Author Posted March 16, 2023 Currently obsessed with "Open to Something…" such a gorgeous song.
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted March 16, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted March 16, 2023 Blue Dress is just magical
Melly_ Posted March 16, 2023 Posted March 16, 2023 Stunning work once again, these girls never disappoint.

pinkbowvintage Posted March 17, 2023 Posted March 17, 2023 Okay...this masterpiece FINALLY hit me last night. Wow. I am blown away. Way of Nature Way of Grace might be their best song ever.
ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted March 17, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted March 17, 2023 Baby Lay Your Head Down is still so infectious and wonderful The kind of song I don't think I'll ever get sick of
