My gut reaction was not loving it. But that's quickly changed after 3 listens. I really love Lewis in Pomona but really hate that yelling/orgasm voice overlapping the fades. It reminds of a really poorly executed Pink Floyd "Great Gig in the Sky" vocals and really wish it wasnt in there. But I LOVE the drums that kick in so I'm torn there. This is my most played track so far #noshuffle #singleplay :P

The album standouts for me are Denver Luna (best track), Hilo Sky, Lewis in Pomona, and Gene Pool. I guess I do love Black Poppies too. The rest don't feel quite right to me. Ottavia is fine, but I'm quite sure I won't ever seek this track out.

Edit: Oh Thorns! is much better than King of Haarlem. Neither are winners tho for me.

So... King of Haarlem. Uhhhh, this is a big no from me (at this point.) Those sour notes by Karl are grating. It just doesn't feel right at all to me. Will it grow on me? Maybe. Right now this is my biggest dislike on the album.

The rest are fine and will likely grow on me. Techno Shinkansen is fine. Burst of Laughter is fine. Colour Red never really hooked me and still doesn't. I like it better in context tho.
