The band wear their influences well, flitting between the melancholic indie-pop of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart and the gleeful abandon of Jonathan Richman continue to challenge themselves and improve with each release, they’re sure to reach plenty more peaks just beyond the horizon have managed to extend their shelf life indefinitely, showing the world that they’re much more than mere slacker rock pretenders The album is a defiant expression of darker emotions The most authentic this band have sounded in a long timeĪs warm a listen as Sonic Boom’s near-forgotten records must’ve been in lockdown Lisbon This long-awaited album arrives as a tribute to a whole scene rather than just two artists More a well-timed bit of marketing on Tidal's end than a respectable entry in Wayne's canon Lil Wayne oscillates on FWA between two methods of delivery - a spitfire, stream of conscious rasp and a dazed auto-tuned drawl Has he crossed a "Simpsons" line where he’s been "okay" longer than he was great?

It works well in bursts but, over the course of a full listen, becomes a reminder that he’s experienced so much success with so many different sounds that he can’t please everyone all the time There’s also the pervading sense here that he’s playing it safe Maybe he’ll sever ties with Cash Money and come back with a classic – but for now, it feels like maybe those Greatest Of All Time proclamations were premature The highs on FWA are dizzying and easily up there with some of his best work Sort by ADM rating Sort by most recent review
