General thoughts: This was a lot synth-ier than i was expecting. I don’t really have many complaints about the songwriting or production, the only frustration is just that his vocal range is so minimal that it’s hard for any of his melodies to stand out. Even Matt Berninger can write vocal melodies that stand out in my head, whereas I feel like this album featured the same three notes sung on every track. I can’t even name a favorite track because none of them stuck out. But again the songs themselves are well written and enjoyable.
Favorite tracks: Genuinely can’t name one, nor would I be able to name a least favorite

That's very fair. Their older stuff is very synth heavy and doesn't highlight stephin merritt's song writing ability or plays off of his voice as well as some of the later albums. I still love it though. It might take a few listens for it to start to sink in. Thanks for playing at least.
I'm still in Indy but graduated from IUPUI thank the high heavens.
