Revisiting this morning bc I've had 2021 stuck in my head. They released "4042" a few weeks ago which has two very long (20 min!), very different versions of 2021, one featuring Sam Gendel, the other someone named Goose. The Sam Gendel one caught me by surprise and I've been humming the main tune now for days.
Anyhow, I liked this album when it was released but my appreciation for it has only deepened. I get the critique that it's a bit bloated in terms of length and agree to a point, yet I don't think there's a song I don't like on here and I'm not sure what I would cut. If anything, I might resequence as two shorter, tighter, more cohesive releases.
Yes, I even like the opening track. (Someone in this thread called it a Lumineers track, which made me laugh but no...)
I also like that it's a legitimately *fun* album despite being, lyrically, quite dark at times.
edit: aaah, pushed post too soon but actually, I want to finish a listen before I highlight a few favorites, so I'll be back
