i swear i couldn't get to sleep these last two nights cos i've had the damn groove to "III" repeating over and over in my head lol. my brain wouldn't shut the fuck off and let me go the fuck to sleep.

the whole thing is classic Max.
with a classic lead single anchoring the entire thing.
just cant get over how 'auteurish' Max's vibe is considering how (arguably) mainstream he's been. don't think i've listened to much else since this dropped. actually the only other things i've listened to are other Max LPs.
the arrangements are killer.
the band really stretches out.
and the lyrics are pretty damn raw, if not half in Max-speak, but still obviously raw and emotional. lotsa insecurity on display which makes it a lot more compelling.

kinda stunned at the mixed reviews i'm seeing on okp. then again all the comparisons to "Embrya" make me realise so many ppl shat on my fav album of all-time for years before coming around and realising the majority opinion on that was so fucking wrong.
