Most of the song is almost a hit on the ear, or should i say almost get there, but umm no, yes but just a little bit, but umm, still, no, sorry. The continuation in this album is an abomination, it's like a mixtape which played overly sad gospel song to high-tech dubstep back to back. The first 3 tracks are the best continuation in the album they played pretty well, "Obvious Bycycle" is a heart warming beginning continued with catchy tunes in "Unbelievers". Except on the track "Diane Young" where there's a part of Ezra singing ~Baby, baby, baby, baby right on time~, and that melody kind of stuck in my head so i had to repeat it abusively.

Since the album itself is like a compilation of a child who always fight with each other anyway, don't put the kids in the same place, they're rivals. Here are some track that are recommended to listen apart, from the album; "Obvious Bicycle", "Unbelievers", "Step" (think of it as an EP), then "Diane Young" and "Young Lion" (play this one like it's a single), then play in order; "Finger Back", "Worship You", and "Ya Hey" (again, think of it as an EP), and trivial thing is that Sky Ferreira appear as cameo in the video.
