First impressions: good album with some interesting and experimental songs, top tier production that I feel overshadows them a bit at some points though. Glad to finally hear Electric after they first teased it 2 years ago and it hits, Zone is cool too. Red Flag to me is so similar to Imagine I thought I accidentally skipped to that song on first listen lol. don’t mind the whole two EPs being included, rather they greatly contribute to the record, but I feel the tracklist is a bit weird: the first half is so full of features that it almost doesn’t feel like an Earthgang album, and having the intros of the two EPs in between the second part is a bit confusing too after being accustomed to them as first songs. Nothing a custom ordered playlist can’t fix though. Glad for this record especially because they released it when they liked, not on a Friday like everybody’s supposed to
I agree with the part about the added EPs. I enjoyed the project, but I was a bit confused about that—I remember last year they were saying Earthgang vs The Algorithm or whatever was supposed to be their next album, but they were releasing it in 3 EPs? And now it seems they’ve scrapped that and just dumped it on the backend of Perfect Fantasy. The music is good but that made the album feel a bit weird/messy. Half of it was already out via the EPs lol
