    Its the hiccups in the 2nd half that I find interesting. The blips & loops in odd places, the quick fade outs that remind me of the quick edit subliminal messaging technique used in Fight Club or Mr. Robot, of someone slowly waking up, or coming to an end. It mimics the the experience of time. It mimics the experience of time felt lost, where did it go?

    I've been getting around to this more and more with each listen. This is the quintessential "summer is over" album in every way I can think of, the themes on here really got me in a very contemplative mood. "Nights" is definitely my favorite song I heard all year, love how it goes from the upbeat/rock vibe to this mellowed out R&B song where reality sinks in for Frank.

    I wonder whose names were dubbed over and blocked out on Future Free. One of 'em had to be Wayne. I don't get why though.

    Nights is a masterpiece. Top 3 on here, imo it's the best.

    Theirs alot of highs on here, like Pink + White, Solo Reprise and Godspeed. But something about Nights just resonates with me. Especially the second half, the production and the Harmony's are so gorgeous. This song is a 10/10.

    This album should is guaranteed a lock for a nomination for AOTY, but based on how out of touch the Grammy's are, they'll probably give it to 25 by Adele or something.

    High pitched voice on self control is so infectious. "Keep a place for me, I'll sleep between y'all it's nothiiiin."
