Although this has some of the craziest and most experimental sounds I've ever heard, Porter Robinson created his most intimate sounding and heartwarming record to date. He beautifully mixes the electronic worlds of glitch and progressive house with the soft sounds of folk, ambient and even Japanese anime soundtracks to create a soundscape that I've never heard before. The lyrics are all about becoming a better self than you already are and listening to the project in full feels like a warm blanket of happiness and calm. Overall this is definitely my favorite project of 2021 and is one of my favorite electronic records of all time.

This was the best album I've heard in a while. It shows how much he has progressed as a producer. He showcases an awesome mix of his signature vocal chop-infused drops while at the same time innovating new sounds too. He also brought back the sounds of his early production days, such as Lose Somebody with Onerepublic. The palm tree sunset vibes are totally there! Listening to the whole album felt like an hour-long trance. It's really chill and relaxing, but energetic and vibrant at the same time. I've been waiting for this one for a long time, and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!
