Rated 6/10
Nothing too special if you ask me. "It's Not Just Me, It's Everybody" is really good, but going deeper into the album it just feels like a rehash of the same ideas and melodies that are heard in the opener, until "Twin Flame" which, while not on the level of the opener, is still good and a competent song.
"The Worst Is Done" funnily reminds me of a local artist who got pissed when a journalist asked him why he hasn't put a COVID song on his latest album. The trope is getting stale if you ask me, but at least this one opens the possibility of interpretation. Also, the instrumental isn't the same, soggy, hazy one we've heard in the first 20-25 minutes of the album, which is a sight for sore eyes.
Overall? This album is a trope we've come to be accustomed to in the last few years. Songwriting chops heavily inspired (dare I say copied) from the 70s a la Carole King and Joni Mitchell filtered through some modern indie folk filters. That being said, 1, and 7 are songs I could listen to, 10 is bordering on it, and the rest is filler garbaggio plastered with copy-paste ideas.
