Almost finished listening to the new Whitney album. For something that took 3 years to come out, it’s incredibly underwhelming. Nearly every song sounds like a filler track, and nothing is as catchy or infectious as past hits like No Woman or Golden Days. Maybe I’ve just grown past my Whitney phase, and this album will really resonate with a whole new crowd of fans, but I was definitely expecting something a little more fun, soulful, experimental.. I dunno.
I understand why these guys have blown up and their former frontman, Cullen Omori, hasn’t achieved critical acclaim with his albums.. but imo Omori’s records have some truly great tracks and are pretty underrated.
