(Trying again, let's hope no video will get taken down this time) I love it. Mikrokosmos and Make it right left the biggest impression so far and Dyonisus is gonna go HARD during concerts. After hours of listening to it, I also really enjoy Halsey's contribution to Boy with luv.

Overall, it’s an okay album. I don’t like it enough to buy it but I might play it on Spotify in the background when I’m doing laundry or cooking. I don’t like the mixing/voice distortions they’re using for this album but I guess that’s here to stay since they’ve been doing that since the LY series.

Persona is the best song on the album and the only one that I feel like actually goes with the concept they’re trying.

Make it Right definitely sounds like a Ed Sheeran song, both lyrics and composition. I don’t mind him in small doses so this is okay.

Jamais Vu reminds me of an early 2000s song, not in a bad way. I like that it’s a subunit song, hope for more subunit songs.

Dionysus is a hot mess. I hate it but I also like it? I think I might like it more if you remove 50% of the singing and rap verses lol which I guess defeats the purpose of the song. At least it’s true to its namesake because Dionysus (the god) is also a hot mess and it’ll probably be fun to perform.

The other songs weren’t memorable.

Since they’re creatures of habit, this is probably the LY:H of this series which means next album will be like LY:T, they’ll probably say all the saccharine lyrics in this album was Fake Love a persona and they will reveal their shadows. Looking forward to the next album.

Dyonisus is this era's IDOL but stronger. It's definitely a concert anthem. It sounds disjointed here but it will slay during concerts. Watch me eat my hat if if ends up falling flat.

(it's also a great workout song!)

I don’t think you’ll eat your hat yet! I agree it’ll definitely be a concert anthem. I usually enjoy their performances even if I don’t like the song.
