I think I must be the only person who feels that this album is superior to Ocean Eyes - quite a bit more superior in some parts.

His strongest, best-sounding, most meaningful album, in my opinion. Just brilliant. From what I see, it's quite underrated...

This album is alright, and I can appreciate what Adam is trying to do, but honestly, it's kind of boring. The album is more cohesive than his previous ones, but he takes it too far; every song sounds more or less the same, in almost every possible way: the schmaltzy lyrics, the extremely plain drum beats, the structure and arrangements of each song, even the chord progressions and melodies sound similar.

I had negative thoughts of this album when I first got it, but how wrong I was when I actually gave it a listen to! Adam's high vocal range in 'Angels', experiment in odd time signatures in 'The Real World', etc. Can't really tell which one's better though, this or Ocean Eyes, although they are both A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

On a more constructive note: I like the Shawn Chrystopher feature on Alligator Sky, but I wish the non-rap version was on the studio album. It would improve the flow of the album and the feature would make a much better bonus track. Glad Shawn is getting more exposure this way, though.

Of June, Maybe I'm Dreaming, and even a majority of Ocean Eyes all have an air about them that screams angsty passion and poetry, like you can vividly imagine Adam Young making all of the music alone in his basement and putting his everything into it. And that's the Owl City I fell in love with. This new album sounds way too clean, way too big. Like a studio band told to "just sound like Owl City" and then random lyrics are drawn from a bag with "Cute and Bubbly Thoughts" scribbled in crayon on the front. Don't get me wrong, the new tunes are nice and catchy, but this doesn't feel like the same project Adam created four or five years ago.
