2853238, Weakest of the 4 overall for me

There's some nice moments (someone's doing a decent johnny marr impersonation on "you already know"?), i dig the carnival raveup, and afterlife---but "normal person" sounds like it could be the "edgy" track on a jonas bros album (Probably my first official cringe listening to an album of theirs). James murphy shouldve ghostwrote the lyrics too (and i know hes not a great lyricist either)

A&r people should get in the practice of advising singers before releasing their first album (and they have that hunch its gonna blow them up majorly) to just write as many lyrics as they can. Like 10 albums worth if possible. Pretty sure win suffers from that pressure of knowing millions will scrutinize every line hes committing to paper these days--and hes "bricking" most of them
