this whole album is so delicate and heartfelt, you can really tell how much this record means to his relationship with noah.

 

at first when honeymind was announced, I was sad that we wouldn't be getting more leave my mind/IWLYBID/imagine type songs but this sound compliments his discography SO well. I hear a lot of Fleetwood Mac influences throughout this which might be why I love it so much, but yeah this is going to be one of my albums of the year, ben has done it yet again :clap3:

 

I wish it wasn't nearly 2AM because I would have given this at least another 2 spins before bed. I love this album so damn much :chick3:

I can hear the Fleetwood Mac influences throughout the record.

 

A little bit boring, though. Not necessarily bad, just… Meh. My faves might be "Cherry On Top / Boy Who Hung the Moon / Monsters".

 

"Reverie" >>>

It's a very mellow record. I kind of prefer Reverie but this has its moments. I can see it growing on me but it's a bit samey to warrant periodic replays from me.

This is actually nice breezy folk album that's very gay, I dig this a lot, a shoe to drop, treehouse, and monsters are standouts :clap3:

This album is also very well written, easily Ben's best album in the lyricism department.

no amount of lyrical growth can help overcompensate for how sonically bland and forgettable everything on this is

Like the trees need the air

Like a river needs water
Like dad needs to learn how to cry from his daughter
Like mean girls in high school need some kind of drama
Like stars need the sky
Like a babe needs his mama

Actually enjoy this album more than I thought I would :celestial4:
My favorites so far:
- Cherry on top
- Andrew
- All American Queen
- Honeymind
- Before I knew you
- Need you like this
- Boy who hung the moon

At least this is much better than the Maya Hawke's album releasing at the same time (I like some of her old songs). Ben wins the Nepobaby-off this round :1stplace:
