Verdict: Tender in places; uneven overall.
I put I Can’t Wait on in the dark and noticed my breathing change before I noticed the beat.
This is late-night music for people who do not need volume to feel undone.
Soft landing: 7.0/10. Tender in places; uneven overall.

the comments saying ‘not dark enough’ are wild. it’s soft-dark. that’s the point.
came here for the score take and stayed for the production notes — yes.
respectfully disagree on the score — the bridge carries more than you’re giving it.

Verdict: Friendly sticky; easy to live with.
okay, I Can’t Wait just rearranged my queue without asking — Phoebe Bridgers knew exactly what temperature this needed.
lyrics feel tender without collapsing. production is clean but not sterile. would I shazam this at midnight? maybe.
friendly final: 7.5/10. Friendly sticky; easy to live with.

member take: better than the algorithm suggested. algorithm has no taste.
