There's also a staggering amount of writers, producers and collaborators, so there's plenty of variety. Sure, there's a few flat guest artists, some weird production choices (like the water splashing in "3 Hour Drive"), yet overall, a solid hour of radio-ready pop with the occasional therapeutic introspection session.
