Starting to listen right now I'm so excited  American Teen was one of my favourites of 2017 and Suncity from 2018. 17 tracks. 

edit: Wasn't feeling the intro and Bad Luck but the stretch from Better to Right Back SLAMSSSSSS.

And? What do you think? I really liked Bad Luck, Outta My Head and Free Spirit. The album is a bit long for my taste, but maybe my opinion will change after a couple of spins

Sorry I'm getting to this so late I wanted the album to settle in more 

I don't love it on first impressions to be honest  Lots of standouts (esp. the singles) but I agree it feels WAY too long and the second half drags on so much. Maybe I'll change my mind because I felt the same way about Suncity then I ended up LOVING it but I'm not sure about this album just yet. I wish he leaned onto more pop-adjacent stuff like he did on American Teen because I'm not 100% feeling this acoustic/R&B/downtempo route. Still enjoy a lot of it! Just disappointing after how much I adored his first 2 works.
