After listening to the album three times I've actually done the opposite of what I thought I would and started to dislike it quite a bit. It now just strikes me as a novelty content to avoid any real substance and instead ride on its own hype train. I'm not sure what convinced me it was worth four stars in the first place, probably just my hopes that they'd bring out something great after all these years. It's at least worth the space it takes up on my hard drive but I highly doubt I'll be listening to it in 30 years when remembering the albums of my youth.
Get Lucky's still pretty good though. And that other Pharrel track's pretty decent. And Doin' It Right I guess, although that one doesn't count because it's just a hollow attempt at an Animal Collective track.
