You can’t be a boy anymore after hearing this album. You have to become a man. This is when your frontal lobe first gets developed and your curiosity about life just spews

Currents is practically a perfect album but somehow this one is slightly better.

The way Kevin constantly evolves and still manages to surpass expectations with his albums is incredible. This guy is like an endless pit of creativity at the highest level. He does the drums, the vocals, the keys/synths, and the engineering. Arguably the most talented musician of the last 15 years.

Posthumous Forgiveness is one of those songs that hits incredibly hard since it’s dedicated to his late father. The second half of the song with the lyrics, the way he sings, and the aggressive drums is probably my favorite thing Kevin has ever done.

There’s something about this album that feels nostalgic but in the truest form of the word. The word stems from the Greek words, nostos (homecoming) and algia (pain). To me, this album sonically captures joyful times and has been the soundtrack for many sunny days. But songs like Posthumous Forgiveness reminds you of those moments that are fleeting away, in the midst of good times and success, you lose people you love that you can’t experience that time with. There’s a small gap of emptiness in the joy.

The album is filled with a lot of moments I really enjoy and it unfortunately dropped right as the pandemic blew up so it feels like it truly didn’t get to breathe and resonate like how Currents did, but what an all around performance again.
