My main concern about the album before its release was previously having heard several of these songs before the full album drop. I was a little worried that there wouldn't be enough new material that could match the quality of the singles, or just enough new material period. A handful of albums utilizing this similar waterfall single effect have lost me by diluting the album experience, but with twelve additional tracks and three interludes saved for the album, it was a needless worry. All told, there's a great balance of old and new to keep me, and likely many other listeners, coming back.
The previously heard tunes -- "All the Time," "No Longer Bound," "Up!" "Good Day," and "I Lift My Hands" -- all act as good anchoring points within the tracklist, and remain the biggest highlights. However, over time, I could see the smooth track "Miracle Worker" with Tori Kelly, the danceable "Always," the catchy piano-led "Sunshine," the groovy "Life is Good," and the windows-down-sing-along with Cain, "Safe and Sound" join that cream-of-the-crop level.
All in all, aside from a long tracklist that still doesn't feel almost an hour long, and a song or two bearing a resemblance to one another, there isn't a bad tune present. You'll know within the first few songs of this album if it's right for you, but if you enjoy artists like Peabod -- the equivalent of sonic sunshine, smiling -- and are looking for a perfect end-of-summer soundtrack for good time activities, then this is going to be your jam. So whether you put the whole album on, or cherry-pick a few songs, you are going to want to roll those windows down, turn the music up, and party on!
