I'm sorry to whoever submitted this but any album where I pause it to discover where that awful alarm is coming from in my home and it turns out it just WAS the album gets -1 star. This was already racing toward a 1/5, so yeah this is "would give it a zero if I could" territory.

So I complained to some of my friends that this album is too much endless droning for my tastes. One of them mentioned that this is why she doesn't enjoy TOOL. I really liked them when I was younger so I decided to relisten to some of their greatest hits. Man that washed this right out of my brain. 2/5 on the album since it's not like offensive to my ears but absolutely nothing to latch onto, but thanks for reminding me that TOOL rocks i guess?

Billy. Bill. Mr. Strings. Billiam. Your music is fine but I'm sorry you can NOT put a song with the lyric "it's the end of the record" as the SECOND TO LAST track on the album. Decent chance this is actually up to a producer or label suit to determine track order but you should've said something Bill. Bill surely you could have prevented this. A third grader listening to this would clown on this obvious oversight.

It occurs to me a year after rating it that I as the person who submitted it should probably take some time to talk about it.
Simply put, I love this band and especially this album. I think both singers are phenomenally talented. Their lyrics melodramatically exploding over relatively normal emotional expetiences like feeling awkard around a new person or looking back on a bad relationship feel really cathartic to listen to and are a headspace I understand with a few mental health problems myself. Sometimes very normal problems feel like these hugely important things that you need to wail to the sky about but can't.
Big thanks to everyone who stopped and listened to this thing I love, even if you personally hated it. I've listened to all of yours, too.

I did not realize how mentally unprepared for this one I was gonna be. The last album releases while this guy was alive, clearly not *intended* to be any kind of final statement because he died a few years later and unexpectedly, with songs about having lived a hard life that's improving but acknowledging how far there is left to go. Yeah, that turns this otherwise very good but not amazing EDM album into something else entirely. And even if you're not like me thinking too much about this, the songs are just plain good. Easy 5/5.

I've already watched the special and listened to the album separately. My opinion is roughly the same between mediums: it's great. A towering work of genius. Bo Burnham's magnum opus. The point at which he goes from a really good comedian to someone who's gonna be remembered for generations. Obvious 5/5. I do think it loses a lot as an album versus the Netflix special, so if you have Netflix would pretty strongly recommend watching that instead of just listening. The interstitial moments between songs and the visuals DO matter here.
I also actively avoid listening to it/watching it end to end like this. Seeing a guy I'd been a fan of for a really long time just cut himself open and bleed (metaphorically of course) puts me in a real sad state. It hurts to see him this depressed. It feels like the Pagliacci the clown joke playing out in front of you with zero irony or insincerity. This is part of WHY it's so damn good, of course. But it does absolutely make this a sometimes food no matter how much I like it.

So apparently I'm one of the only people to actually finish listening to this album among the people who were assigned it. It's good. End to end. If you're enjoying the first normal-length album's worth of song you'll like everything else you hear. Yes, the length wore on me. It's really long. I've given albums half this length points off for being too damn long. The difference is I wasn't *enjoying* those albums along the way. Guys, you know if you think it sounds fine but it's just too long you can take a break, right? Stop listening for a few. Go watch/listen to something else for half an hour or something, then jump back in? You don't need to keep going until you're actively miserable when you'd otherwise be having a good time.

Okay so this album is a ridiculously cool *idea.* 4 discs played simultaneously to have a much richer sound than one could provide? Very neat! I might get some friends together to mimic the experience with phones sometime so I can have the intended experience.
I think those same elements make it kind of a poor choice for this list though. I don't have 4 devices readily available to play this on, and sure the other review I saw mentioned there's YouTube videos just layering it for you but that feels wrong somehow.
Also the songs all feel too long and sedate for my tastes. Maybe they'll be more stimulating if I play it the way it's supposed to be played, but for now this gets a 3. Nothing wrong with it but it just doesn't land for me.
