So, I don't think it's necessarily about that. Coloring Book was even more religious in tone than this one. Just as positive. Lyrically, this album is wack as fuck, honestly. The hooks are wack. The beats are boring. Non-nonsensical features like the Death Cab for Cutie dude, like Shawn Mendes, like Randy Newman... or features who outshine him Like DaBaby, Taylor, Meagan Thee Stallion.

"But that boy advance gotta be bigger than Diddy Kong
I need stock and it gotta be Pippi Long"

"Hey  there, lovely sister
Won't you come home to your mister?
I've got plans to hug and kiss ya
I've  got plans to hug and hug and hug you"

But the real issue is that there's so little depth. It's "I love my wife!" And that's it. You haven't told us anything about her. What makes you love her so much? Who is she? Aside from the one verse on We Go High, we don't hear anything about trials and tribulations, doubts, realizations, fears... shit that makes us connect emotionally to the content is severely lacking.

And to top it off the album is long as fuck. Long and fucking boring.
